TechFlow, April 29 — According to The Block, MetaMask has partnered with CompoSecure and Baanx to launch the MetaMask "metal card," planned for global release in Q2. The card enables users to make payments directly from their self-custody MetaMask wallets without pre-funding, converting to fiat, or relying on centralized exchanges.
All transactions will be authorized via smart contracts within five seconds, requiring users to hold cryptocurrency on the Linea network. The card aims to solve the "last mile" problem of crypto payments, thereby driving mainstream adoption of digital assets. MetaMask previously launched a pilot program in August 2024 and previewed the metal card at ETHDenver in March this year. Additionally, the company plans to add support for Bitcoin and Solana this year.
