MetaMask's airdrop token "MASK" to launch largest-ever rewards program

What’s Happening

MetaMask (a wallet with over 143 million users) is finally preparing to launch the MASK token. The registration of the domain “claim.metamask.io” suggests the launch is imminent.

Reward Program Structure

This is not a simple airdrop but a structured rewards system:

• Earn points through on-chain activity: token swaps, cross-chain bridges, referrals, and more
• Linea L2 Integration: enhanced cooperation with ConsenSys’s Layer-2 ecosystem
• $30 million worth of LINEA tokens to be distributed in Season 1
• Special incentives for early adopters: retrospective rewards for early supporters are also under consideration

Potential Valuation

Analyst estimates: with MetaMask’s annual projected revenue at $120 million, MASK’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) could reach up to $12 billion. This indicates the economic scale of the ecosystem.

Use Cases for the MASK Token

• Governance: users participate in decision-making
• Incentives: activity rewards
• Ecosystem Growth: decentralization and strengthened community development

Integration with mUSD Stable Asset

MetaMask’s recently launched mUSD stable asset is a key element of this system:

• Facilitates transactions within the rewards system
• Improves ecosystem liquidity and stability
• Supports MASK staking and governance mechanisms

Security Precautions

Points users should be careful about:

• Use only the official domain: anything other than claim.metamask.io is strictly forbidden (phishing scams are rampant)
• Wait for detailed guides: MetaMask plans to release instructions for safe claiming
• Anti-fraud system: proactive security measures are expected to be implemented

What Should You Do Now?

While following official announcements, it’s smart to increase participation in the Linea L2 ecosystem. To catch this “airdrop season” wave, now is the time to ramp up your on-chain activity.
