MetaMask Adds Stellar Network for XLM Transfers and Cross-Chain Swaps

MetaMask added Stellar to its mobile app and browser extension on Oct. 29, giving wallet users access to XLM, other Stellar tokens and swaps with supported networks.

The integration supports Stellar Lumens (XLM), trustline assets and Soroban tokens. Users can send and receive assets, swap between Stellar and other supported networks, or import a recovery phrase from an existing Stellar wallet. The launch completes MetaMask’s previously reported plan to make Stellar a default network.

MetaMask Chief Product Officer Gal Eldar said, “From today, MetaMask users can transact on Stellar directly.”

A Stellar address derived from a recovery phrase is not active onchain until it receives at least 1 XLM. Each trustline reserves 0.5 XLM, and users need a trustline to receive tokens other than XLM. Swapping from another network does not automatically create that trustline.

Stellar’s payment volume reached $55.6 billion in 2025, a 52% increase from the previous year. The activity included remittances, commerce and public-sector use. The global average cost of sending $200 was 6.36% in the third quarter of 2025, against a global target of 3% by 2030. That benchmark covers remittance services broadly, not transfers through MetaMask.
