Today, MetaMask, the world's leading self-custodial Web3 wallet developed by ConsenSys, announced a strategic integration with the Layer-1 blockchain platform Sei. The Sei Network has officially become one of the native networks supported by the MetaMask wallet, allowing MetaMask users to seamlessly connect to the Sei network with a single click within the wallet, accessing Sei ecosystem dApps and native assets effortlessly. With the addition of Sei, the number of blockchains supported by MetaMask has increased to 11, furthering its multi-chain strategy to create a more unified, convenient, and inclusive cross-chain experience for users.

Additionally, MetaMask users can now access a dedicated Sei page on MetaMask Portfolio, where they can explore applications, tokens, games, and NFTs in the Sei ecosystem and directly bridge, swap, or purchase Sei assets within the wallet. This integration eliminates key frictions in traditional cross-chain interactions, providing users with a more secure, guided exploration path and effectively reducing common fraud risks in Web3. This move by MetaMask addresses long-standing cross-chain barriers for users, significantly enhancing the overall user experience.

On-chain Data indicates that Sei currently processes over 4.2 million daily transactions, has surpassed $600 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), and has a monthly active user base of 11 million. In less than a year since the launch of the EVM, the Sei ecosystem has experienced rapid growth, showcasing strong market demand for its high-performance, low-latency infrastructure. Through this partnership, MetaMask users can directly access the emerging EVM ecosystem of Sei, allowing Sei to reach MetaMask's extensive user base and the trusted crypto community numbering in the billions.

This integration is a key part of MetaMask's embrace of a multi-chain future strategy. With native network support expanding, MetaMask is evolving into an all-in-one platform where users can manage their multi-chain assets and activities in a unified interface without the need to constantly switch wallets or bridge tools.

Gal Eldar, Global Head of Product at MetaMask, stated: "MetaMask's support for emerging networks like Sei is about solving real user problems. Web3 is moving towards a multi-chain reality, and users should not struggle with tool fragmentation to participate in different ecosystems. Introducing Sei into MetaMask can bring a smoother and more secure experience, potentially driving the next wave of Web3 user growth."

Justin Barlow, Executive Director of Sei Development Foundation, said: "The integration with MetaMask has unlocked Sei's high-performance blockchain infrastructure for over a billion users worldwide. This greatly expands Sei's ecosystem coverage and provides users with a familiar and convenient access method, representing an important step for Sei towards the optimal EVM ecosystem."

With Sei's inclusion, MetaMask once again demonstrates its commitment to lowering the barriers to Web3 adoption. Seamless cross-chain interoperability offers users a more liberated on-chain experience, signaling another step towards a more interconnected, accessible decentralized ecosystem for Web3.
