Since the discussions began in 2021, is MASK really going to issue tokens?
According to The Block, Consensys CEO Joe Lubin stated in an interview that the MetaMask token is on the way and may arrive sooner than expected, and will be linked to MetaMask-related decentralized applications.
Joe Lubin's remarks have sparked heated discussions in the community, since the discussions in 2021, is MASK really going to issue a token?
MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay stated in mid-May that the MetaMask team is still considering the launch of a native token, but it is currently in a 'possible' stage, with no concrete plans. He emphasized that if it is really launched, the announcement will be directly displayed in the wallet with a link to avoid scams and phishing attacks on social media.

As early as 2021, MetaMask publicly stated that it was considering launching a native token 'MASK' and establishing a DAO, with the aim of promoting Consensys' 'progressive decentralization'. However, progress has been very slow due to regulatory environment influences.
MetaMask will first launch the native stablecoin mUSD
MetaMask, as an Ethereum wallet developed by ConsenSys, is mainly used to connect to the blockchain, store and manage crypto assets, and is also one of the oldest and most well-known wallets. To face competition from newcomers, the team has actively improved the user interface and operation process over the past year.
MetaMask announced in August that it will issue a native stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), on Ethereum and Linea, which will be widely used for deposit, cross-chain transfers, exchanges, and payments, hoping to integrate on-chain and off-chain applications from DeFi to daily consumption.

However, whether a native token MASK will be launched is still not clearly determined, reminding readers to be sure to pay attention to related scams and phishing attacks.
