For most people who use EVM chains, Solana and Bitcoin, MetaMask is the most complete multichain wallet in November 2026. One account now holds EVM, Solana and Bitcoin addresses, and it works with hardware wallets. Phantom is the better fit if you’re mainly on Solana. OKX Wallet and Backpack reach further into non-EVM chains such as Sui and Aptos. Rabby stays EVM-only, and Keplr covers Cosmos now that Leap has shut down. No single wallet covers every chain well, so many users pair one broad wallet with a specialist. The table below shows which pairing fits which chains.
- The test that matters most is chain families (EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Cosmos, Move chains), not a headline count of networks.
- Built-in swaps and bridges are convenient but often add a wallet fee: 0.875% in MetaMask and up to 0.85% in Phantom, on top of the bridge’s own fee.
- 2026 changes: Phantom dropped Monad and Sui, Leap Wallet closed on 28 May 2026, and MetaMask added Tron.
- One seed phrase across chains is convenient but creates a single point of failure. Pair any hot wallet with a hardware wallet for meaningful sums.
How we ranked the best multichain wallets
We scored each wallet only on multichain criteria, using published documentation and reputable reporting. We did not test the wallets hands-on. The criteria were: chain families supported natively, a built-in swap or bridge and any fee the wallet adds, how addresses are managed across chains, hardware-wallet support, whether NFTs display across chains, and security track record. General usability and DeFi features are covered in our roundup of the best decentralized crypto wallets, so we don’t repeat them here. Chain lists change often, so confirm current support in the app before you send funds.

The best multichain wallet options, ranked
1. MetaMask: the broadest single-account setup
MetaMask is no longer just an Ethereum wallet. Its multichain accounts give each account an EVM, a Solana and a Bitcoin address together. Solana support arrived in May 2025, Bitcoin in December 2025 and Tron in January 2026. Its built-in bridge and swap can move value between those networks in one interface. MetaMask documents a 0.875% fee on swaps and bridges, charged on top of gas and the bridge provider’s own fee. Hardware-wallet support is mature. Its NFT display is strongest on EVM chains.
2. Phantom: Solana-first with EVM and Bitcoin
Phantom now supports Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Bitcoin (SegWit and Taproot) and HyperEVM. In 2026 it narrowed its list, ending Monad support on 26 August and Sui on 24 September. Funds on those chains stay on-chain and can be recovered in another wallet with the same recovery phrase. It has a strong NFT gallery across Solana, Ethereum and Bitcoin Ordinals, and a cross-chain swapper. Phantom’s help centre lists a 0.85% fee on select swap pairs. See our full Phantom wallet review.
3. OKX Wallet: the widest chain list
OKX’s self-custody wallet advertises more than 130 chains, including Bitcoin, Solana, TON, many EVM networks and Move-based chains. That makes it the most practical single app if you regularly touch less common chains. Its built-in DEX and bridge aggregator compares routes across many bridges. Fees depend on the route and are shown in the quote, so check them instead of assuming zero. The wallet is separate from the OKX exchange account, but some features and regional availability depend on the exchange.
4. Backpack: Solana plus Move and EVM chains
Backpack lists Solana, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Sui, Aptos, Sei, HyperEVM and several newer networks. It says it adds no wallet-level fee to swaps and bridges, though bridge provider fees and gas still apply. Backpack is run by the company behind Backpack Exchange.
5. Trust Wallet: mobile breadth, with one recent incident
Trust Wallet claims support for more than 100 chains and is popular as a mobile multi-coin wallet. Ledger works only through the browser extension. In December 2025 a malicious version of its Chrome extension (v2.68) was published using a leaked Chrome Web Store API key, and about $7 million was drained from several thousand wallets. Trust Wallet said mobile apps and other browsers were not affected and set up a compensation process. Scammers then impersonated that process, so use only official support channels.
6. Zerion: best cross-chain view of tokens and NFTs
Zerion began as a portfolio tracker, and its wallet shows tokens, DeFi positions and NFTs across EVM chains and Solana in one view. It added LI.FI routing for bridging between EVM chains and Solana. Its help centre lists a 0.8% fee on swaps and bridges, with a discount for premium users.
7. Rabby, Exodus and Keplr: strong specialists
Rabby is EVM-only by design. It is still one of the best EVM wallets for bridging, because it switches networks automatically, simulates transactions before you sign and has approval management built in. Exodus suits desktop users holding Bitcoin alongside EVM and Solana assets, and it pairs with Ledger and Trezor. Keplr is the default Cosmos wallet since Leap Wallet shut down its apps, extension and validator on 28 May 2026. Former Leap users can restore the same addresses in Keplr from their recovery phrase. Keplr also handles EVM chains, Bitcoin and Starknet.
Best cross-chain wallets for NFTs
If you collect NFTs on more than one chain, the question is whether the wallet displays them, not only whether it holds them. NFTs live on-chain, so any wallet using the same seed can access them. Phantom shows Solana, Ethereum and Bitcoin Ordinals collectibles in one gallery. Zerion is strongest for viewing NFTs across many EVM chains plus Solana. MetaMask’s display is most reliable on EVM. For marketplace-specific advice and cold-storage options, see our guide to the best NFT wallets.
How to set up a bridging wallet: a self-custody multichain tutorial
The step-by-step bridging guide covers the transfer itself. Setting up the wallet first prevents most failed bridges.
- Decide between one seed and several. A single recovery phrase in MetaMask or Phantom gives you matching addresses on every supported chain, which is convenient. But one leaked phrase exposes everything. A common setup is a “bridging” hot wallet holding only what you are moving, plus a hardware-backed wallet for savings.
- Back up the phrase offline before funding anything. Never type it into a website or “support” chat.
- Pre-load gas on the destination chain. Arriving on Solana without SOL, or on an L2 without ETH, leaves funds stuck. Many bridges offer a small “gas drop”. Otherwise, buy a little native gas token first.
- Check the address format. EVM addresses start with 0x and are the same on every EVM chain. Solana, Bitcoin and Cosmos addresses are different. Check the destination network as well as the address.
- Send a small test transfer through the route you plan to use, then send the full amount.
- Compare in-wallet and direct quotes. A wallet’s built-in bridge adds its own fee. Opening the same bridge or aggregator directly is sometimes cheaper on larger amounts.
- Clean up afterwards. Bridges and DEXs ask for token approvals. Remove the ones you no longer need. Our guide on how to revoke token approvals covers each chain.

FAQ
What is the best EVM and Solana wallet?
MetaMask and Phantom both handle EVM and Solana from one recovery phrase. MetaMask suits people who are mostly on Ethereum and its layer 2s, and it also adds Bitcoin and Tron. Phantom suits Solana-first users and NFT collectors, though it supports fewer EVM networks. Backpack and Zerion are also options. Rabby does not support Solana.
Is a cross-chain wallet the same as a bridge?
No. A cross-chain wallet holds keys for several blockchains. The bridge is a separate protocol that moves value between them. Wallets with “built-in bridging” route your transfer through third-party bridges or aggregators and usually add their own fee. The bridge’s security, not the wallet’s, decides how safe the transfer is.
What is the safest self-custody multichain wallet?
Safety depends more on setup than on brand. Any of these hot wallets paired with a hardware device, used with a separate low-balance wallet for experimenting, is safer than a single hot wallet holding everything. Check each wallet’s incident history, use only official download links, and keep the recovery phrase offline.
What happened to Leap Wallet?
Leap Wallet, a popular Cosmos wallet, closed its extension, mobile apps and validator on 28 May 2026. Because it was non-custodial, funds remained on-chain. Users can restore the same addresses in another Cosmos-compatible wallet, most commonly Keplr, by importing their recovery phrase or private key. Anyone who delegated to Leap’s validator should redelegate.
