Does MetaMask support the NEAR Protocol?
As of today, MetaMask does not natively support the NEAR Protocol simply because the NEAR Protocol isn’t EVM compatible by default; though NEAR has an EVM-compatible Layer-2 protocol called Project Aurora.
NEAR has its own proprietary wallet on its official website.

Project Aurora (EVM)
