Fact Check
The assessment is 'likely_true' with high confidence based on strong, consistent evidence from multiple sources. The statement can be broken into two claims: 1) MetaMask introduced a 'multi-chain accounts' feature, and 2) this feature enhances asset loading speed.Claim 1 is unequivocally supported by official primary sources. The MetaMask GitHub releases and blog posts directly confirm the existence of a multi-chain, multi-account feature within the MetaMask Portfolio dashboard.Claim 2 is strongly supported by a consensus among multiple high-relevance secondary sources. News outlets from major crypto exchanges like KuCoin and Bitget, as well as crypto-focused publications like ChainCatcher and Ainvest, all explicitly report that the update enhances asset loading speed. The claim is further strengthened by the specific and consistent reporting of a "30x" speed improvement across several of these independent sources.While the provided official MetaMask sources do not explicitly mention the performance enhancement, this is an absence of evidence rather than a contradiction. One news source (Bitget) attributes the information to an official MetaMask announcement on Twitter, suggesting the claim originates from a primary source, even if it is not listed here. There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources provided; they either fully support the statement or support the first part of it. The high degree of corroboration among credible secondary sources makes the entire statement very likely to be true.
Summary

MetaMask announced on October 28 the release of multi-chain accounts, allowing token trading and asset management across both EVM and non-EVM networks within one account. This upgrade removes the requirement for multiple accounts tied to separate network addresses and includes Ethereum Layer2, EVM-compatible, and non-EVM chains such as Solana. MetaMask confirmed plans to add Bitcoin-like network integration in the near future, while also boosting asset loading speeds by 30 times compared to previous versions.
