MetaMask has introduced Transaction Shield. It’s a premium subscription that pairs on-chain threat screening with a refund promise when the software incorrectly green-lights a malicious transaction.

The early-access service went live on December 2, 2025, at $9.99/month (or $99/year). It will initially be available on the MetaMask browser extension.

Under the plan, subscribers get coverage up to $10,000 per month, spanning as many as 100 eligible transactions. If Transaction Shield flags an interaction as safe but funds are stolen during that specific on-chain action (for example, a drainer posing as an NFT mint), users can submit a claim within 21 days. MetaMask says most approved reimbursements are processed in about 15 business days. According to the official release, payouts are settled in mUSD, MetaMask’s dollar-denominated asset.
