MetaMask unveils a new roadmap: launching smart contract accounts, bulk trading capabilities, and MetaMask debit cards

MetaMask, a popular wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem, has announced a new development roadmap, higher on the priority list of optimization user experience, and plans to launch smart contract accounts (CA), ERC-5792 bulk trading functions and MetaMask debit cards. New features include the introduction of a smart contract wallet, which supports transaction recovery mechanisms and enhances asset security compared to current external accounts (EOAs) that rely on private keys. In addition, MetaMask will support ERC-5792 bulk transactions, allowing users to complete approval + transactions with one click, reducing gas fees and operation steps. The MetaMask team also announced that its MetaMask debit card will be available in select US states in mid-March, following trials in the UK and European Union. The card allows users to pay directly with crypto assets in their wallets and is compatible with the Mastercard network. In addition, MetaMask will add Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) support, enabling users to manage multiple blockchain assets within the same wallet. The team said that in the future, it will continue to optimize the multi-chain integration to improve the overall user experience.
