MetaMask is expanding from its Ethereum roots to support multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Bitcoin. This shift is driven by user interest in exploring decentralized finance across various networks. Christian Montoya, product lead at Consensys, highlighted the growing trends and MetaMask's ongoing efforts to expand functionalities beyond Ethereum. Recently, MetaMask advertised a job for a product manager to develop its Bitcoin experience, marking a significant step in its multi-chain strategy. The wallet aims to support up to 50 different networks, acknowledging the need to adapt to a rapidly evolving crypto environment, where Ethereum's dominance is challenged by networks like Solana and Bitcoin. This expansion follows a surge in interest in meme coins and decentralized applications, particularly those flourishing beyond Ethereum.
