ShapeShift is spearheading a real change in how MetaMask wallets engage with native BTC, UTXO, EVM, and Cosmos assets with the ShapeShift MultiChain Snap. This integration enables MetaMask wallet users to seamlessly [buy crypto](https://shapeshift.com/buy-crypto-with-debit), sell, track, trade, earn, send, and receive native Bitcoins, Doge, Atom, and more directly on ShapeShift dApp.

In the past, MetaMask users were confined to EVM chains, limiting their chain support within one of the most widely used wallets. This constraint has been a source of frustration for crypto enthusiasts, compelling them to seek alternative solutions like the native ShapeShift wallet. Now, with ShapeShift Multichain snap, MetaMask users gain access to a wide array of assets and chains, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, ATOM, DOGE, ETH, LTC, OSMO, RUNE, and others, effectively creating the most accessible and versatile wallet experience ever.

Beyond asset accessibility, MetaMask users can now leverage ShapeShift’s newly added [THORChain](https://shapeshift.com/thorchain) streaming swaps to secure the best rates when swapping assets. By opting for multichain swapping, users experience CEX-like exchange rates across EVM, ETXO, and Cosmos, albeit with slightly longer swap execution times across multiple blocks.

As a community-driven dApp, ShapeShift's mission is provide the crypto ecosystem with the most versatile access across chains and assets. The ShapeShift Multichain snap was developed by PastaGhost in collaboration with ShapeShift core engineering team. This integration underscores ShapeShift's commitment to decentralization, safety, community-driven initiatives, and open-source environments.

Moving forward, ShapeShift aims to maintain the ShapeShift Multichain snap as an open-source project, encouraging external developers to leverage it as inspiration to integrate new protocols, thereby expanding the accessibility and functionality of MetaMask wallets globally.

ShapeShift's Multichain Snap marks a significant milestone in reshaping how [MetaMask wallet](https://app.shapeshift.com) interact with Web3. This integration eliminates the need for separate wallets or service providers to access Bitcoin, DOGE, ATOM, and other UTXO tokens, paving the way for a truly multichain reality. ShapeShift invites other protocols and DAOs to leverage their Snap as a catalyst for building the future of crypto wallet experience together.
