FAQs​

Can I use MetaMask on mobile for this?​

Yes! MetaMask mobile supports Solana. Enable Solana in settings first.

Is there a minimum deposit to MetaMask?​

The minimum is set by the bridge, not MetaMask. Typically $5-10 USD equivalent. Check the app for current limits.

How do I see transaction history?​

In MetaMask, look for "Activity", "History", or "Transactions" to see your deposit and all transactions.

Other Chains to MetaMask​

Your Optimism deposits go directly to your MetaMask Wallet. reply.cash is non-custodial.
