MetaMask made an official statement following the recent claims circulating on social media about airdrops and 'token rewards in exchange for points.'
The claims suggested that 'MetaMask would launch a system that rewards points for Swap and bridge transactions, which could later be converted into token rewards.'
The company partially confirmed these rumors in a post today but stated that the details had been misrepresented:
'Yes, a reward program is coming. However, what you have heard or seen so far does not exactly match what will actually be released.'
The company announced that the new program will be called MetaMask Rewards and will not be a farming-focused system. It has been announced that over 30 million dollars worth of LINEA token rewards will be distributed in the first season (Season 1).
The program will include referral rewards, mUSD incentives, special partnership rewards, token access, and more.
The company also stated that they will not forget users who have actively used their wallet for a long time, saying, "Users who have been with us for a long time will have special advantages. MetaMask Rewards will have meaningful connections with future MetaMask tokens."
Details of the reward program are expected to be shared in the coming weeks and gradually rolled out.
Stay tuned for updates.
