MetaMask App is the mobile edition of the MetaMask self-custodial crypto wallet for iOS and Android. It holds Ethereum and other EVM-network tokens alongside Bitcoin and Solana, and opens decentralized apps in a built-in browser. Trading tools include swaps, perpetual futures and prediction markets. MetaMask App stores the Secret Recovery Phrase and private keys in encrypted form on the phone rather than on a MetaMask server.
Wallet setup and recovery
A new wallet generates a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase for the user to keep offline. Whoever has the phrase controls the wallet, and MetaMask cannot restore it if the phrase is lost. The phrase is also how a wallet moves from the browser extension to the phone, since MetaMask App does not sync the two. Accounts imported from a private key need their own backup. With Face ID or other biometrics enabled, the app unlocks without the password.
One account for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana
Each MetaMask account pairs an EVM address with a Solana address and a Bitcoin address. The app supports ERC-20, ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens, and users can add missing tokens manually. Users can connect Ledger, Keystone and NGRAVE hardware wallets, though those accounts stay EVM-only. Receiving shows a QR code and copyable address, or creates a payment request.
Built-in dapp browser
The MetaMask App browser, one tap from the wallet view, opens decentralized apps directly on the phone. A site sees an address only after the user approves its connection request and picks which accounts to share. The browser keeps connections per tab. Users can disconnect one account from one site or keep a public account apart from a private one.
Swaps and bridging
The Swap screen gathers quotes from decentralized exchanges and liquidity protocols, runs test transactions and drops routes likely to fail. Choosing different networks for the source and destination tokens turns a swap into a bridge transfer. On several networks, the quote can include the gas cost, so users need no separate gas token. A lightning icon on a token’s page opens a shortened buy-or-sell flow.
Perps and prediction markets
Perpetual futures run on the Hyperliquid exchange inside the wallet. The trader picks a market, goes long or short, and sets size and leverage. They can also add take-profit and stop-loss levels or place limit orders. Margin is isolated per position, so a liquidation loses only that position’s margin. EVM-token deposits automatically convert to USDC.
Prediction markets, powered by Polymarket, sell Yes or No shares on sports, politics and crypto outcomes. Users can sell shares before resolution and claim winning shares afterwards. Both features are unavailable in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
A home-screen watchlist, one-time or recurring price alerts, and follow trading support these tools. Following a trader sends a notification when they trade. Tapping it shows their position so users can set up and confirm a trade manually.
Buying, selling and staking
Users can buy crypto with a card or move it in from an exchange. The Sell option ranks third-party provider quotes for cashing out to a bank account, debit card or PayPal balance where available. Users can stake any amount of ETH through Pooled Staking. They can also lend stablecoins for rewards that they can withdraw without a waiting period.
Transaction security alerts
Before signing, MetaMask App checks a transaction against phishing lists, contract behaviour and known malicious activity. It then shows a Warning or Malicious banner with details. Alerts advise rather than block, and turn off only with other online features under the Basic Functionality setting.
