Metamask Token $MASK - Confirmed?
Since airdrops became a thing, much of the crypto community has been asking the question ‘wen Metamask token?’ Well it seems to be edging closer and the plans for a DAO and a Token are all but confirmed. ConsenSys, the crypto software giant who owns Metamask recently reported it now has over 30 million monthly active users, a figure reflecting a 42% increase in the last 4 months. ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin, stated that Metamask are pursuing “progressive decentralisation” whilst prioritising security and improving user interface - hinting at a token
🔹 Confirmed intention of a $MASK token
🔹 Stated that any token will be "an important aspect" of being "community owned"
🔹 Launching new userface imminently
🔹 Creation of a DAO (usually requires token) to fund new and novel pieces of Metamask
As someone who has used Metamask a LOT over the years, you can’t help but feel optimistic about a future airdrop. However, it was also stated that it would take measures to prevent people from exploiting any potential airdrop (making hundreds of wallets and doing 1 swap)
MetaMask lead of operations Jacobc.eth told Decrypt at ETHDenver:
*"We believe really deeply in progressive decentralization and doing it over time and doing it in ways that are meaningful—and doing it in ways that are not a cash grab,"
"It's not something that we're going to wing and it's also not something where we're going to put our project in jeopardy of either regulators or give governance to 'airdrop farmers' or something like that," - referring to any token distribution
Still no details on how to qualify for any potential airdrop, but seems likely it could be either:
🔸 Early adopters / frequent users of Metamask
🔹 Users which have conducted swap within Metamask UI itself... (I've never done this :5189exhaustedpepe: )
Wouldn't say no to some $MASK stimulus in the form of an airdrop, if you've used Metamask keep an eye out for this!
