From the discussion in 2021 to now, is MASK really going to issue a coin?
According to The Block, Consensys CEO Joe Lubin said in an interview that the MetaMask token is coming soon, and may be faster than expected, and will be bundled with MetaMask-related decentralized programs.
Joe Lubin's remarks sparked heated discussions in the community. From the discussion in 2021 to now, is MASK really going to issue a coin?
MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay stated in mid-May that the MetaMask team is still considering launching a native token, but that it's currently considered a "possibility" and not a concrete plan. He emphasized that if a launch is made, the announcement will include a link directly within the wallet to prevent 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 in conjunction with it, with the goal of promoting ConsenSys' "progressive decentralization." However, due to the regulatory environment, progress has been very slow.
MetaMask launches native stablecoin mUSD first
MetaMask, an Ethereum wallet developed by ConsenSys, is primarily used to connect to the blockchain, store, and manage crypto assets. It's one of the oldest and most well-known wallets. To compete with new entrants, the team has been actively improving its user interface and workflow over the past year.
In August, MetaMask announced that it would issue its native stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), on Ethereum and Linea. It will be widely used in scenarios such as deposits, cross-chain transfers, exchanges, and payments. The company hopes to integrate both on-chain and off-chain applications, from DeFi to daily consumption.
However, whether the native token MASK will be launched has not yet been clearly determined. Readers are reminded to be vigilant against related scams and phishing attacks.
