MetaMask users can now bridge across multiple blockchain networks using MetaMask Bridges, which aggregates different blockchain bridges in one place.
MetaMask Bridges supports major blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, including Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. The new tool allows for bridging Ether and Wrapped Ether, major stablecoins, and native gas tokens, the firm said.
The new bridge feature enables MetaMask users to move tokens from one blockchain network to another without having to do research to find and choose a reliable bridge.
The new bridge solution is available in beta to all MetaMask users via the Portfolio Dapp, a new decentralized application allowing users to view multiple MetaMask accounts and their assets in one place. The Portfolio Dapp now also allows users to bridge between networks in a few easy steps, as described by MetaMask.
MetaMask is not charging any additional fees during the beta period, and bridging is limited to $10,000 per transfer.Launched in 2016, MetaMask is a major software cryptocurrency wallet designed for the Ethereum blockchain. As the wallet is by default focused on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks, it still doesn’t support the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.
