MetaMask Unveils Bridge Aggregator for Seamless Cross-Chain Token Transfers
ConsenSys has launched a new bridge aggregator tool for MetaMask, enabling users to seamlessly transfer tokens across different blockchain networks. The tool supports major EVM-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain.
The bridge aggregator automatically finds the best prices and most efficient routes for token transfers, eliminating the need to manually search for reliable bridges. Users can also choose from a curated list of secure and decentralized bridges based on their specific needs.

Key Features:
- Supports major EVM-compatible blockchains
- Automatic price optimization
- Curated selection of secure bridges
- No additional fees during beta testing
- Transfer limit of $10,000 per transaction
The tool is currently in beta testing and can be accessed through MetaMask's portfolio decentralized application, which was launched in September. While MetaMask was initially designed for Ethereum blockchain, the platform is expanding its capabilities through "snaps" that allow dApps to connect with other networks like Bitcoin, Solana, and Filecoin.
According to Angela Potter, MetaMask's bridge product manager, this integration enables EVM-compatible dApps to access various blockchain networks through enabled snaps, significantly improving cross-chain interoperability.
