MetaMask Mobile introduced limit orders for token swaps on or around November 5, 2026, allowing users to place sell orders above and buy orders below the current market price. The feature covers Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and Robinhood Chain at launch and requires MetaMask Mobile version 8.18.0 or later.
Why it matters
Limit orders let users set a target price and step away instead of watching markets and manually executing swaps. The addition extends MetaMask's Swaps feature, first launched in 2020, to a wallet base that surpassed 100 million users in early 2026.
The feature requires MetaMask Mobile version 8.18.0 or later and supports Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and Robinhood Chain at launch. Transaction fees are deducted from the tokens being sold, and MetaMask's service fee applies only when an order is fulfilled, while no usage or adoption figures have been released.
The players
MetaMask
MetaMask is a self-custodial Ethereum wallet developed by Consensys that lets users store tokens and interact with decentralized applications directly from their own devices.
The details
Open orders can be tracked and managed inside the app. The feature uses revocable ERC-7702 delegation to execute orders conditionally, so users grant a narrow, conditional permission and their assets remain in their own wallet until the order fills.
Timeline
2020: MetaMask first launched its Swaps feature.
Early 2026: MetaMask's user base surpassed 100 million.
November 5, 2026: Mobile limit orders went live in the app.
Market Landscape
The feature brings conditional order types, long standard on centralized exchanges, into a self-custodial wallet. It applies the ERC-7702 delegation standard to let users keep custody of assets while placing orders that resolve automatically.
Users who trade tokens on mobile can now set target prices and let the order execute without monitoring the market. Because fees come out of the sold tokens and the service fee applies only on fill, the cost of an unfilled order is limited to whatever the wallet does not charge.
The takeaway
Limit orders shift some trade execution from the trader's attention to the wallet's software. Before relying on a conditional order, check the supported networks and fee terms for the specific tokens involved.
