Month: 2025-02 — MetaMask Mobile delivered strategic cross-chain value and architecture upgrades that boost user visibility, onboarding, and developer efficiency. Key outcomes include enabling non-EVM asset balance viewing with fiat rates for Solana and Bitcoin, driven by a dedicated MultichainBalanceController, a new balance hook, and multichain asset selectors. In parallel, core account management was modernized with an upgrade of AccountsController/TransactionController to v23 and related packages, improving stability and integration with MultichainController. The Snap onboarding flow was made asynchronous with an option to skip the naming dialog, reducing friction during first-use. These changes collectively enhance cross-chain support, data accuracy, and maintainability, laying groundwork for future expansion.
