Existing MetaMask users now receive Stellar addresses without extra setup. The MetaMask Stellar integration went live on October 29, 2026, adding Stellar as a default network in both the wallet’s mobile app and browser extension .
MetaMask partnered with the Stellar Development Foundation on the addition. For existing account holders, the wallet generates each Stellar address from the account’s current recovery phrase, rather than requiring a separate setup process.
The update also supports people who already hold Stellar accounts elsewhere. They can import their existing Stellar recovery phrases into MetaMask to move those accounts into the wallet. That import option sits alongside automatic address generation for existing MetaMask accounts.
MetaMask’s Stellar integration fits its Open Money strategy
MetaMask Chief Product Officer Gal Eldar placed the Stellar integration within the company’s “Open Money” strategy . He described that strategy as aiming to make the same payment infrastructure available to all users.
The technical addition and the strategic framing address different parts of the rollout: existing users receive addresses automatically, while users with Stellar wallets have an import route. Both capabilities form part of the MetaMask wallet update across mobile and browser.
Stellar is an open-source network designed for financial products and services.
