MetaMask is set to integrate ZNS (ZNS Connect Name Service) natively into its wallet interface in 2025.​ This integration will enable:

  • Direct .​domain resolution within MetaMask
  • Seamless sending and receiving across EVM chains
  • No need for additional extensions or tab switching

The update builds on previous domain functionality introduced in late 2024, which required MetaMask version 12.​4.​2 or higher.​ This native integration represents a significant streamlining of the user experience for domain name resolution in Web3 transactions.​

Users will be able to use simple domain logic for cross-chain interactions directly from their wallet interface.​
