MetaMask confirmed on June 13 that users are experiencing significant connectivity failures across multiple blockchain networks. The wallet’s support team acknowledged the disruption on X, stating engineers are actively working to resolve the issue without providing a restoration timeline.
Reports indicate the wallet is either unresponsive or severely degraded. The outage specifically impairs three core functions: wallet connectivity, decentralized application interactions, and NFT transactions.
Technical analysis points to centralized infrastructure as a potential vulnerability. MetaMask routes traffic through Remote Procedure Call providers rather than connecting directly to blockchain nodes. Its default backend is Infura, which shares a parent company, Consensys. This architecture creates a single point of failure for millions of users.
No specific root cause has been identified publicly. However, historical outages in 2022 and 2025 were traced to dependencies on Infura or third-party cloud providers like AWS.
The disruption affects the broader EVM ecosystem, including Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, and Avalanche. For DeFi participants, extended downtime poses material financial risk by preventing collateral top-ups or position closures ahead of liquidation thresholds.
Users requiring immediate access may utilize alternative interfaces such as Rabby, Rainbow, or Ledger Live to bypass the current infrastructure bottleneck.
