MetaMask commented on speculation about launching its own token
The creators of MetaMask do not rule out the possibility of releasing a token, but if this happens, users can expect a transparent and fraud-proof distribution.
Co-founder Dan Finlay responded coyly when asked about MetaMask's native token, stating that any official announcement would come directly from the wallet itself, not through social media or links in emails.
While no official plans have been confirmed, Finlay acknowledged that the changing regulatory environment in the US could offer greater flexibility for the launch of compliant tokens, especially under the current administration. He encouraged crypto developers to seize the moment to explore new opportunities, suggesting that this could open the door to new innovations.
MetaMask has explored the idea of a token in the past, with internal discussions and public indications dating back to 2021. The proposed token, MASK, was conceived as part of a strategy to gradually decentralize ConsenSys products. According to previous statements, the token would be focused on community funding rather than governance, with mechanisms to prevent speculative airdrop events.
Finlay also warned about the risks of hype, which often becomes a magnet for phishing attempts. He stated that any legitimate token launch would only be visible in the wallet itself or on official MetaMask channels – nowhere else.
MetaMask remains the most widely used wallet on the Ethereum network, serving tens of millions of users monthly. To maintain its leadership position, the team continues to improve the user experience as competition from other wallets like Rainbow and Rabby intensifies.
