Supported platforms

MetaMask Connect works across multiple environments, ecosystems, and devices. This page covers how MetaMask Connect routes connections depending on where your dapp runs, and which development environments and blockchain ecosystems are supported.

Connection methods

MetaMask Connect detects the user's environment and selects the best connection method automatically:

• Desktop web: Connects directly to the MetaMask browser extension when available. If the extension isn't installed, a QR code is displayed so users can scan it with the MetaMask mobile app.
• Mobile browser and native apps: Generates a deeplink that opens the MetaMask mobile app directly, keeping the experience seamless on mobile devices.
• Node.js: Renders a QR code in the terminal for users to scan with the MetaMask mobile app, enabling wallet interactions from CLI tools and server-side scripts.

Here's how each connection method compares across dapp locations:

Dapp location	User wallet	Connection method	MetaMask Connect	Other SDKs
Desktop web browser	🧩 Browser extension	Direct connection via extension	✅ Supported	✅ Supported
Desktop web browser	📱 Mobile app	QR code scan	✅ Supported	⚠️ Limited*
Mobile browser	📱 Mobile app	Deeplink	✅ Supported	⚠️ Limited*
MetaMask in-app browser	📱 Mobile app	Deeplink	✅ Supported**	⚠️ Limited*
Native mobile app	📱 Mobile app	Deeplink	✅ Supported	⚠️ Limited*
Node.js	📱 Mobile app	QR code in terminal	✅ Supported	⚠️ Limited*

*Limited: Most other SDKs don't include built-in QR code or deeplink support for connecting to the MetaMask mobile app, and require additional configuration or third-party relay services.

**MetaMask in-app browser: Dapps can use the https://link.metamask.io/dapp/{url} deeplink to open directly inside the MetaMask mobile app's built-in browser, giving full wallet access without relay overhead. This works for any dapp regardless of ecosystem (EVM, Solana, or multichain).

Third-party in-app browsers

WebViews inside apps like Twitter, Discord, or Reddit have inconsistent deeplink support. Some block external deeplinks or handle them incorrectly. Test in your target environments, or guide users to open your dapp in a full mobile browser.

tip

For relay-based connections (QR code and deeplink), use a reliable RPC provider instead of public nodes. Relay connections are more sensitive to network latency, so services like Infura provide better reliability and performance.

Supported environments

note

Node.js support uses QR code connections via the MetaMask mobile app. See the Node.js playground for a working example.
