MetaMask’s New Token: Everything You Need to Know Before the 2025 Launch
MetaMask drops its native token—here's why it changes everything for 30 million active users.
Tokenomics Unleashed
No more speculation—the wait ends as ConsenSys finally delivers utility to its massive DeFi user base. Expect airdrops for early adopters and staking rewards that actually beat traditional savings accounts.
Market Impact
This isn't just another memecoin—it's infrastructure going multiplicative. Liquidity pools will swell, transaction volumes spike, and frankly, it might make Ethereum gas fees look reasonable again.
Regulatory Dance
Watch how seamlessly they navigate the SEC's gray areas—a masterclass in launching while lawmakers scramble to keep up. Because nothing says decentralization like pre-empting regulatory overreach.
Get ready—your wallet's about to get more interesting than your broker's excuses for missing this rally.
There are quite a few false rumors going around about a MetaMask snapshot/airdrop/etc. on March 31.
These rumors are not only false, but they are dangerous. They create opportunities for scammers and phishers.
Please be on the lookout for fake sites in the coming days

Lubin’s remarks are the clearest public signal yet that MetaMask is moving forward with its own asset. But until formal details emerge, the timing, mechanics, and potential uses remain unknown.
What Is MetaMask USD (mUSD) and Why Was It Audited?
Consensys introduced MetaMask in 2016 as part of its Ethereum product suite, and the company has owned the wallet fully since its launch.
When Consensys raised $7Bn in its Series D funding round in 2022, MetaMask and Infura were cited as the primary revenue drivers. Both were presented as central business products rather than outside investments.
In August, ConsenSys Diligence published an audit of the security of MetaMask USD (mUSD), a stablecoin contract that is supposed to interface with the MetaMask ecosystem.
As described in the review, it had controls, including pausability, freezing, and forced transfers, and used the M0 framework.
Although mUSD is not a governance token, the audit indicates that the company has been busy developing wallet-native asset infrastructure.
MetaMask has also warned users about fraudulent “snapshot” or “airdrop” claims. The team advises against connecting wallets or signing transactions on unofficial claim sites, urging users to rely only on the MetaMask blog, support hub, and verified social accounts for announcements.
It must also be mentioned that further on, MASK is already called Mask Network, and it is an independent project that has nothing to do with MetaMask.
Exchange listings and speculative tokens are recommended to be treated with care by traders until Consensys can release official information.
In the meantime, the US Securities and Exchange Commission sued Consensys in June 2024 regarding the swaps and staking functionality of MetaMask.
The case result might influence the manner in which and the timing of the company’s undertaking any token launch.
The case of Consensys versus the SEC has resulted in the agency facing legal challenges in court, which can already cause a far-reaching impact on cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.
