# Use non-EVM networks

You can interact with users' accounts on non-EVM networks by connecting to existing
[MetaMask Snaps](https://metamask.io/snaps/).

Non-EVM networks are blockchain networks that are not compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Non-EVM dapps and MetaMask can't directly interact with each other.
By connecting to dedicated non-EVM Snaps, you can extend the functionality of MetaMask and integrate non-EVM networks into your existing MetaMask workflow.
By connecting to third-party libraries or dedicated non-EVM [Snaps](https://metamask.io/snaps/), you can extend the functionality of MetaMask and integrate non-EVM networks into your existing MetaMask workflow.

# Solana

[Solana](https://solana.com/) is a high-performance, non-EVM network that provides fast transaction speeds and low fees.
You can interact with users' Solana accounts in MetaMask using the [Wallet Standard](#wallet-standard) or [third-party libraries](#third-party-libraries) for Solana dapps.

:::note
MetaMask supports both Solana Mainnet and Devnet.
After adding Solana to MetaMask, [show test networks](https://support.metamask.io/configure/networks/how-to-view-testnets-in-metamask/) to view Solana Devnet.

[Consensys.Headings] 'Wallet Standard' should use sentence-style capitalization.

Raw Output:
{"message": "[Consensys.Headings] 'Wallet Standard' should use sentence-style capitalization.", "location": {"path": "wallet/how-to/use-non-evm-networks/solana.md", "range": {"start": {"line": 15, "column": 4}}}, "severity": "WARNING"}

MetaMask implements the [Wallet Standard](https://github.com/wallet-standard/wallet-standard), so MetaMask is supported out-of-the-box for Solana dapps that use the Wallet Standard or that integrate Solana's [Wallet Adapter](https://github.com/anza-xyz/wallet-adapter/blob/master/APP.md).

Learn more in Solana's [Interact With Wallets](https://solana.com/developers/courses/intro-to-solana/interact-with-wallets) documentation.

:::note
With the Wallet Standard, MetaMask does not appear as a connection option for users that don't already have MetaMask installed.
Ask the MetaMask team on [Discord](https://discord.gg/consensys) if you need support for a custom integration.
:::

## Third-party libraries

Several third-party libraries for Solana dapps detect and handle MetaMask out-of-the-box, including:

- [Dynamic](https://docs.dynamic.xyz/introduction/welcome)
- [Privy](https://docs.privy.io/welcome)
- [Reown](https://docs.reown.com/overview)
