Connect to Solana

Solana is a high-performance network that provides fast transaction speeds and low fees. You can interact with users' Solana accounts in MetaMask using the Wallet Standard or third-party libraries for Solana dapps.

MetaMask Connect​

MetaMask Connect is the easiest way to connect to Solana in MetaMask.

note

See the Use MetaMask Connect Guide for JavaScript for more information.

Framework Kit​

Framework-kit supports MetaMask out-of-the-box for Solana dapps, handling RPC connections, wallet adapters, and state management for you:

  • One provider, many hooks — Wrap your app once with SolanaProvider, then use hooks anywhere.
  • Wallet connection built-in — useWalletConnection handles discovery, connection, and disconnection.
  • Automatic data refresh — Balances and account data stay in sync without manual refetching.
  • Common operations simplified — useSolTransfer, useSplToken, and useTransactionPool for transfers and custom transactions.
  • TypeScript-first — Full type inference out of the box.

note

With the Wallet Standard, MetaMask does not appear as a connection option for users that don't already have MetaMask installed. Check out How to use the Wallet Adapter Guide.

Third-party libraries​

Several third-party libraries for Solana dapps detect and handle MetaMask out-of-the-box, including:
