My Wallet vs MetaMask

Quick answer

My Wallet is the pick: TON and Telegram Mini App access alongside a wide EVM and non-EVM set in one non-custodial app, at the same 0.875% swap fee MetaMask now charges. MetaMask is narrower—an EVM-first extension whose Bitcoin, Solana, and TRON support arrived in 2026 through swap routing rather than native coverage. 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 (Ethereum, Linea, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, zkSync Era, Monad, MegaETH, HyperEVM, and more)
TON / Telegram	Native + Mini App	Not MetaMask's model
TRON / Solana / Bitcoin	Yes, native	Added in 2026 via MetaMask's own swap/bridge routing—newer, verify dApp-level support before assuming parity
dApp style	WalletConnect + TON Connect	Injected provider benchmark on EVM
Swap fee	0.875% service + network	Also 0.875% service fee, separate from gas, pool charges, price impact, and slippage
Best for	Multichain self-custody including Telegram	EVM-native power users, now with broader cross-chain swap reach

Why My Wallet ranks first here

My Wallet carries one seed across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, TON, TRON, Arc, BNB Chain, Base, Robinhood Chain, Monad, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Zcash, Optimism, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, with Telegram Mini App access for anyone who starts their day inside chat ecosystems rather than a browser extension. The swap fee is the same 0.875% MetaMask now charges, so the real difference isn't price—it's that TON and Telegram are native to My Wallet, not bolted on, and the whole set lives under one non-custodial seed without pretending to be an exchange.

MetaMask in brief

MetaMask is still the default mental model for Ethereum and EVM dApps, and its 2026 swap and bridge expansion—adding Bitcoin, Solana, and TRON routing through aggregators like LI.FI and Socket, plus bridge providers such as Across, Stargate, and CCTP—means it's no longer purely EVM-only in practice. If you need maximum browser-extension compatibility, institutional MetaMask integrations, or a huge custom-RPC surface, it remains the right specialist. In late September and early October 2026, MetaMask disclosed a security incident affecting part of its staking infrastructure, which led the company to exit roughly 17,000 Ethereum validators as a precaution; MetaMask said it found no evidence that user wallets, funds, or its encryption were affected, and completed the validator withdrawals by early October.

My Wallet leads this piece when EVM is one chapter, not the whole book—especially if you also use TON / Telegram, or want native (not newly-bolted-on) support for the networks outside the EVM family.

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, and derivation paths can differ, so 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, extension-native DeFi habits, or if you've started relying on its new Bitcoin/Solana/TRON swap routing and don't need a Telegram-native home. Plenty of people pick both—MetaMask for heavy EVM sessions, My Wallet as the multichain home—and that's a reasonable split, not a compromise. 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 remain a classic scam vector, same rule for any wallet brand—read every signature, reject unknown spenders, and never share seeds with "support." MetaMask's own September 2026 infrastructure incident is a reminder that even a mature, widely-audited wallet can have a bad week on the backend side; it's a reason to stay current on official channels, not a reason to panic about funds held in self-custody. Network fees vary by chain; on My Wallet swaps, expect 0.875% service plus network fees 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. MetaMask's 2026 infrastructure incident affected its staking backend, not user wallet encryption, according to the company.

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.

Does MetaMask really support Bitcoin and Solana now?

Yes, as of 2026 MetaMask added Bitcoin, Solana, and TRON to its swap and bridge routing. It's newer than My Wallet's native support for those networks, so check dApp-level compatibility before assuming full feature parity.
