MetaMask has expanded its in-wallet trading capabilities by integrating decentralized perpetuals exchange Hyperliquid, enabling users in permitted regions to trade on-chain perpetual futures directly from the MetaMask interface, and is rolling out a new rewards system that distributes Linea-based incentives via seasonal points. Later this year, MetaMask also plans an exclusive integration with prediction market platform Polymarket, bringing onchain prediction markets natively into the wallet for supported users. According to MetaMask and coverage of the launch, the wallet now offers perpetual futures (perps) trading powered by Hyperliquid, giving users the ability to go long or short with up to 50x leverage while maintaining self-custody. The integration includes one-click funding from any EVM chain and zero swap fees on perps, positioning MetaMask to compete more directly with centralized exchanges on derivatives access in jurisdictions where this is allowed. Hyperliquid itself is a performance-focused Layer 1 with a custom HyperBFT consensus and a DEX specializing in perpetual swaps, making it a natural backend for MetaMask’s new perps feature. Alongside perps, MetaMask announced MetaMask Rewards, a program that tracks onchain activity via a three‑month seasonal points system where users earn points for token swaps and perps trading in MetaMask, as well as through referrals. These points unlock level-based rewards, and MetaMask has confirmed a token launch, with Linea—Consensys’ Ethereum Layer 2 network—positioned as the key chain for distributing and earning these incentives. Later in the year, an exclusive Polymarket integration is slated to make MetaMask the first wallet to offer native access to onchain prediction markets, further broadening the wallet’s role from basic asset storage and swaps to a more comprehensive trading and speculation hub in the Web3 stack.
