MetaMask Founder Says ‘Maybe’ to Token Launch Plans
@MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay confirmed on Wednesday that the idea of launching a native MetaMask token is still under consideration.
When directly asked about the possibility of a MetaMask token, Finlay responded: “Maybe,” indicating that no final decision had been made. “ If we ever do it, it'll be advertised directly in the wallet. You'll be able to find a link directly in the wallet.”
MetaMask and its parent company, Consensys, have discussed the possibility of a token since at least 2021, with earlier suggestions that a token, tentatively called MASK, could support community ownership and progressive decentralization.
Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin noted in 2022 that the token would not be a speculative asset for quick profit and would include protections against airdrop farming.
