Metal Blockchain (METAL), yours to hold and swap
METAL · Metal Blockchain · EthereumBefore you download anything: Zypto App cannot hold METAL. Metal Blockchain is not one of the 20+ chains it has integrated, so there is no METAL address, no balance and no swap route in the app today. Here is what it does cover, chain by chain, and how Metal Blockchain moves up the queue.
Metal Blockchain runs on the Metal Blockchain network, which isn't integrated in Zypto App yet. Request Metal Blockchain on X and we'll prioritize adding it so you can hold and swap Metal Blockchain.

METAL and Zypto App: where things stand
Metal Blockchain is not integrated in Zypto App yet, so METAL cannot be held, swapped or spent in the app.
Zypto App is a non-custodial wallet for 20+ integrated chains: hold your own keys, swap through on-chain DEXs, connect to dApps, and use your crypto for real-world spending through the Zypto Premium VISA Card, gift cards, mobile top-ups and bill pay.
New chains are added as we reach them on the roadmap and as we see demand. Telling us on X is the fastest way to move Metal Blockchain up the queue.
METAL is native to Metal Blockchain, which is not integrated in Zypto App yet. We will integrate it as we reach that point on the roadmap and as we see community interest.
In the meantime, bridged and wrapped versions of METAL on the chains below are integrated, so you can hold and swap those in the app today.
| Chain | METAL is | In Zypto App | What you can do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Blockchain | native | Not yet | Nothing yet: this chain is not integrated |
| Ethereum | bridged or wrapped | Integrated | Hold and swap |
What Zypto App can and cannot do with METAL
Metal Blockchain is not one of the chains Zypto App has integrated. That single fact decides the rest: no METAL custody, no METAL swaps, no METAL at checkout. We would rather you read it here than discover it after signing up.
What the app does cover is 20+ integrated chains, with non-custodial keys generated on your device, in-app DEX integrations for swaps across roughly 24,000 assets, WalletConnect for dApps, and a Zypto Premium Visa Card you can load from what you hold. If any part of your portfolio sits on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, BNB Chain, TRON or the other integrated chains, Zypto App is worth having alongside your Metal Blockchain wallet.
Integration order comes from our roadmap and from community demand, and demand is the part you can move. A public request is counted.
New to Metal Blockchain? Read this first
You need a wallet that speaks Metal Blockchain, and Zypto App does not yet. That is the whole answer, and there is no version of it where downloading the app gets you a METAL balance today. What the app is good for is everything you hold on the 20+ chains it has integrated, in one place, with the keys on your device.

How Zypto App handles your keys
Zypto App is non-custodial for every asset it supports. Private keys are generated and stored on your device, Zypto never has access to your funds and every transaction is signed locally. For account access, every user sets a PIN with optional biometric security (fingerprint or face recognition). You can also filter your wallet to show only verified tokens, protecting you from random airdrops or unsafe assets. For offline hardware wallet security, pair with the Vault Key Card, card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC, keys never touch the internet.
What is Metal Blockchain?
Metal Blockchain (METAL) is a Layer 0 network aimed at banks, fintechs, and other regulated businesses that need compliant on-chain infrastructure. It is built as a fork of the Avalanche codebase and uses the same four-chain structure of an exchange chain, a contract chain, and a platform chain, with smart contract support and the ability to launch separate subnets that run in parallel. The core developer behind it is Metallicus, the company also known for Metal Pay. The mainnet launched in October 2022. METAL is the native token and has a hard-capped supply of around 666 million. It is used to pay transaction fees, to secure the network through staking, and as a unit of account across the different subnets. Running a validator requires holding a set amount of METAL, and validators and delegators earn rewards for helping secure the chain. Metal Blockchain leans toward institutional and compliance focused use cases rather than retail DeFi. You can check the Metal Blockchain price and hold METAL in a self-custody wallet where you keep your own keys.

METAL wallet questions, answered
What's the best Metal Blockchain wallet app?
That depends on what you want to do with your METAL, and Zypto App is honest about its part: it cannot hold METAL yet, so it is not the answer for this one. For a wallet that can, you need one that supports Metal Blockchain. If the rest of what you hold sits on the 20+ chains Zypto has integrated, it keeps those non-custodially, swaps between them, connects to dApps and turns the value into real-world spending.
Is Zypto App non-custodial?
Yes. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device for every asset Zypto App supports. Zypto never has access to your funds, and every transaction is signed locally before it reaches the network.
How do I use crypto for real-world spending with Zypto Premium Visa Cards?
When you load the card in Zypto App, your crypto is converted into USD. Conversion happens at load, not at the checkout, so you can lock value in, avoid volatility and pay wherever Visa is accepted, subject to eligibility and applicable limits.
Can I swap Metal Blockchain in Zypto App?
Not yet. Metal Blockchain is not integrated in Zypto App, so METAL cannot be swapped there. Zypto App swaps across 20+ integrated chains, and telling us on X is the fastest way to move Metal Blockchain up the queue.
How do I back up my Metal Blockchain wallet?
During setup, Zypto App generates a 12-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it offline somewhere safe. For offline hardware wallet security, pair Zypto App with a Vault Key Card, the card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC without exposing your keys to the internet.
Is Zypto App available in my country?
The wallet itself is available globally on iOS, Android and web. Some features (in-app buying, the Zypto Premium Visa Card) vary by region. See what's available where you are on our <a href="/spend-crypto/">Spend by Country</a> page.
Is Zypto App free?
The app is free to download and use. Standard network fees apply to on-chain transactions. Card and bill-pay services carry transparent transaction fees published in the app.
