Key points

  • MetaMask added Stellar as a default network on its mobile app and browser extension.
  • Accounts automatically gain recovery-phrase-derived Stellar addresses.
  • The wallet now supports native XLM, Stellar-based USDC, and Soroban tokens.

Self-custody wallet MetaMask has configured Stellar as a default network across its mobile application and browser extensions 1. The rollout grants users native access to the Stellar network directly through the core interface rather than requiring manual configurations 1.

Under the integration, existing multichain accounts in MetaMask automatically gain Stellar addresses derived from their existing recovery phrases 1. The update introduces compatibility for multiple network assets, including native Stellar Lumens ($XLM), USD Coin ($USDC) issued on the Stellar blockchain, and tokens operating on Soroban, Stellar's native smart contract platform 1.

Multi-Asset and Soroban Support

The activation allows MetaMask accounts to interact directly with Soroban smart contracts and Stellar-based assets alongside existing supported networks 1. By incorporating automated address derivation via existing seed phrases, users can manage both Stellar-native $USDC and Soroban tokens without establishing standalone credentials 1.

At the time of writing, XLM traded at $0.1718, up 1.0% over the preceding 24 hours amid a total cryptocurrency market capitalization of $2.69 trillion. The integration incorporates Stellar directly into MetaMask's default network catalog, expanding token support to include both payments assets and smart contract applications built on Soroban 1.
