MetaMask acknowledged widespread connectivity issues on June 13, leaving users unable to interact with decentralized applications or send transactions across several blockchain networks. The wallet's support team posted the alert on X, saying they were working on a fix and apologizing for the disruption.
The problem hit three core functions: wallet connectivity, dApp interactions, and NFT transactions. User reports describe a wallet that is either unresponsive or painfully slow on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, and Avalanche.
MetaMask does not connect directly to blockchain nodes. It routes traffic through Remote Procedure Call providers; Infura, which shares a parent company (Consensys) with MetaMask, is the default backend. That single-provider dependency means the wallet's connection path runs entirely through one infrastructure stack. Past outages – including disruptions in 2022 and 2025 – were traced to Infura or to third-party cloud providers like AWS.
