MetaMask Teases Native Token Launch Amidst Continued Crypto Expansion

MetaMask, a leading Ethereum wallet provider, remains committed to exploring the launch of its native token, potentially bolstering its presence within the ever-evolving crypto landscape. 🎧 In a recent podcast appearance with TheBlock, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay hinted at plans for a native token. Responding to long-standing questions about this potential launch, Finlay expressed uncertainty regarding timing but indicated that if the token were issued, it would likely be directly integrated within the wallet, providing direct access for users via a built-in link. 🚧 While no concrete plans have been officially announced, MetaMask has been debating the release of a token tentatively called MASK since 2021. ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin had previously teased a preview and outlined the intention to utilize a native token as part of their broader DAOs-based decentralized governance strategy in 2022. However, the company remains cautious about potential airdrop fraud, opting for delayed public disclosure until specifics can be solidified.
