MetaMask Adds Stellar Network, Requires Manual Trustline Setup for USDC
Current overview (not historical)
MetaMask announced the addition of the Stellar network to its wallet on October 29, offering users a new path for stable‑coin payments. To receive USDC on Stellar, users must first deposit at least 1 XLM and activate a USDC trustline; otherwise, bridging funds can result in loss or transaction failure. The wallet’s update highlights the need for manual bridge configuration and warns that sending Stellar assets without a trustline will fail outright.

Report first recorded Oct 31, 07:12
MetaMask launched Stellar support on its Mobile and Extension apps on Oct. 29, 2026, adding a Stellar address to users’ existing multichain accounts. To receive assets such as USDC, an account must first be funded with at least 1 XLM and then activate the desired token’s trustline, which requires an additional 0.5 XLM reserve per token. MetaMask warns that bridging funds without an active trustline can result in loss of assets, and that ordinary Stellar sends to an address lacking the required trustline will fail. The wallet prompts users before bridge confirmation and advises manual activation of the trustline before receiving bridged tokens.
