The creators of MetaMask haven’t ruled out launching a token—but if it happens, users can expect a transparent and scam-proof rollout.
Co-founder Dan Finlay responded coyly when asked about a native MetaMask token, saying that any official announcement would come directly from within the wallet itself, not through social media or email links.
Though no official plans have been confirmed, Finlay acknowledged that the evolving U.S. regulatory landscape may offer more flexibility for compliant token releases, particularly under the current administration. He encouraged crypto builders to take advantage of the moment to explore new possibilities, suggesting it could open the door for fresh innovation.
MetaMask has explored the idea of a token in the past, with internal discussions and public hints dating back to 2021. The proposed token, MASK, was envisioned as part of a strategy to gradually decentralize ConsenSys products. According to prior statements, the token would be focused on community funding rather than governance, with mechanisms in place to deter opportunistic airdrop farming.
Finlay also cautioned against the risks of speculation-driven hype, which often becomes a magnet for phishing attempts. Any legitimate token release, he said, would only be visible in the wallet itself or on MetaMask’s official channels—nowhere else.
MetaMask remains the most widely used Ethereum wallet, serving tens of millions of users monthly. To maintain its lead, the team continues refining the user experience as competition heats up from other wallets like Rainbow and Rabby.
