Since the discussion in 2021, is MASK really going to issue tokens?

According to a report by The Block, Consensys CEO Joe Lubin stated in an interview that the MetaMask Token is coming soon, and it may arrive faster than expected, and will be tied to MetaMask-related decentralized applications.

Joe Lubin's remarks have sparked heated discussions in the community. Has MASK really decided to issue a token since the discussions began in 2021?

Dan Finlay, co-founder of MetaMask, stated in mid-May that the MetaMask team is still considering the launch of a native Token, but it is currently still in the "possible" stage, with no concrete plans. He emphasized that if it is really launched, the announcement will be directly displayed in the wallet with a link, to avoid 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, with the aim of promoting Consensys's "progressive decentralization". However, progress has been very slow due to regulatory environment.

MetaMask first launches the native stablecoin mUSD

MetaMask, developed by ConsenSys, is an Ethereum wallet primarily used to connect to the blockchain, store, and manage cryptocurrency assets. It is also one of the oldest and most well-known wallets. To face competition from new entrants, the team has been actively improving the user interface and operational processes over the past year.

MetaMask announced in August that it will issue a native stablecoin MetaMask USD (mUSD) on Ethereum and Linea, which will be widely used in scenarios such as deposits, cross-chain transfers, exchanges, and payments, hoping to integrate on-chain and off-chain applications from DeFi to daily consumption.

However, whether the native Token MASK will be launched is still not clear. Readers are reminded to be vigilant against related scams and phishing attacks.
