MetaMask

MetaMask is a crypto wallet with its own built-in swap interface, known as MetaMask Swaps. The external DEXs that the interface can route through are not MetaMask's own services, and the distinction matters when users or compliance teams assess who provides what.

What the service does Swaps let a wallet holder exchange one crypto asset for another without leaving the wallet. The provider is classified as a wallet swap interface, so the role of MetaMask in a transaction is to present quotes and submit the trade from the user's own wallet, while liquidity comes from third-party sources.

Scope The profile concerns the swap function only. It does not describe the wallet's other features, nor does it name a legal entity, licence, supported networks, fee model or limits.

Points to confirm Fees for a specific swap are normally shown on the confirmation screen, together with network costs, so the final amount should be read there. Businesses that plan to rely on the service in a payment flow should check the terms of use, the liquidity sources involved and any regional restrictions with the provider.

Who it suits MetaMask Swaps suits holders who already use the wallet and want a convenient way to exchange assets, and developers who need to understand how a wallet-based swap differs from a standalone DEX.
