MetaMask Mobile Swap Introduces Limit Orders… Tokens Remain in the Wallet

MetaMask has added limit orders to its mobile swap feature in app version 8.18.0 and above, supporting Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and Robinhood Chain. Users select "limit" on the swap screen and set token pair, amount, and price conditions, with both tokens required to be on the same network; orders wait until the price condition is met rather than executing immediately like market swaps. Sell orders can be set above or below the current price, and buy orders likewise, with tokens remaining in the user's wallet until execution. The move matters because it brings a core centralized-exchange order type directly into a self-custody wallet across four chains, potentially reducing reliance on market orders and external venues for retail swappers. What to watch next is whether limit orders roll out to the desktop extension and additional networks, and whether order execution and fill rates hold up during volatile conditions.
