My Wallet wins this comparison when your week is bigger than Ethereum and its L2s—when you also need TON, TRON, Solana, Bitcoin, and other supported networks in one non-custodial app. MetaMask remains a fair (often best) pick for deep EVM dApp compatibility—no invented dirt, no fake fees.
Quick answer
Choose My Wallet if you want seventeen-network self-custody, Telegram Mini App access, and TON Connect + WalletConnect in one place. Choose MetaMask if you live in Ethereum DeFi, custom RPCs, and extension workflows that treat MetaMask as the compatibility default. Official support never asks for your seed phrase.
Side-by-side
| Area | My Wallet | MetaMask |
|---|---|---|
| Custody | Non-custodial | Non-custodial |
| EVM networks | Polished in-app set (incl. Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Hyperliquid, Polygon, Avalanche, Monad, and more as listed) | Extensive EVM + custom RPC culture |
| TON / Telegram | Native + Mini App | Not MetaMask’s model |
| TRON / Solana / Bitcoin | Yes | Not unified the same way (Solana via Snaps / separate tools historically) |
| dApp style | WalletConnect + TON Connect | Injected provider benchmark on EVM |
| Swap fee disclosure | 0.875% service + network | See MetaMask / route UI |
| Best for | Multichain self-custody including Telegram | EVM-native power users |
Why My Wallet ranks first here
- One seed across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, TON, TRON, Arc, BNB Chain, Base, Robinhood Chain, Monad, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash
- Telegram Mini App access for users who start in chat ecosystems
- Transparent aggregator swap fee: 0.875% + network fees
- Clear non-custodial model without pretending to be an exchange
MetaMask in brief
MetaMask is the default mental model for Ethereum and EVM dApps. If you need maximum browser-extension compatibility, institutional MetaMask integrations, or a huge custom-RPC surface, it can be the right specialist.
My Wallet leads this piece when EVM is one chapter, not the whole book—especially if you also hold USDT on TRON, use TON / Telegram, or keep SOL and BTC beside ETH.
EVM address notes
On supported EVM networks both products present familiar 0x addresses. That does not mean every DeFi position migrates by seed import alone. Moving active positions is position-by-position work. Derivation paths can differ—test with small amounts before assuming identical addresses everywhere.
Who should pick which
- Pick My Wallet for multichain portfolios and Telegram / TON alongside EVM
- Pick MetaMask for EVM-only depth and extension-native DeFi habits
- Pick both when you want MetaMask for heavy EVM sessions and My Wallet as the multichain home
Also in the EVM neighborhood: Rabby for power-user extension habits—see My Wallet vs Rabby.
Safety notes that apply to both
- Fake MetaMask extensions are a classic scam vector—same rule for any wallet brand
- Read every signature; reject unknown spenders
- Never share seeds with “support”
- Network fees vary; on My Wallet swaps, expect 0.875% service + network when using the aggregator

FAQ
Is MetaMask safer than My Wallet?
Both are non-custodial when used correctly. Safety tracks download source, phishing awareness, and seed backup—not brand mythology.
Can I use the same seed in both?
Maybe for some chains, not safely for all assumptions. Derivation can differ. Test tiny amounts; never force a migration under time pressure from a stranger in chat.
Does My Wallet replace MetaMask for every EVM dApp?
Not always. MetaMask remains the compatibility benchmark on many EVM sites. My Wallet covers a strong EVM set plus everything outside EVM you actually use.
