MetaMask adds support for Base, zkSync, Linea on bridge service with Socket and LI.FI aggregators

Web3 wallet and decentralized application platform MetaMask now supports nine different blockchain networks on its bridge service.

The project added three new networks — Base, zkSync Era, and Linea — in addition to existing ones such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche.

MetaMask’s cross-chain transfers are facilitated by bridge aggregators Socket and LI.FI and the service integrates a range of bridge services including Hop, Celer cBridge, and Polygon Bridge.

The platform aims to address the complicated process of moving crypto tokens between different EVM blockchains by aggregating convenient routing options. This means that users can find optimal paths for their token transfers without the need to scour multiple platforms.

MetaMask allows for the bridging of up to $50,000 per transfer of ETH, stablecoins like DAI, and native tokens such as MATIC.

MetaMask's popularity

MetaMask reportedly has more than 20 million monthly active users (MAUs), making it the most popular crypto wallet in the world. It generated over $3.74 million in revenue in the last 30 days from its token and cross-chain swaps, which is equivalent to an annualized revenue of more than $45 million.

All transactions utilizing MetaMask’s bridging functionality within its portfolio application are subject to a fee of 0.875%. This fee is applied uniformly across all supported networks and tokens.
