Rumors of a MetaMask token launch gained new momentum this week after a website resembling a token claim portal briefly surfaced online. The appearance of the page — purportedly linked to MetaMask — sent prediction market odds for a MASK token launch in 2025 soaring to 35% on Polymarket.
MetaMask, the popular Ethereum wallet developed by Consensys, has long hinted at releasing its own token. CEO Joe Lubin reiterated in September that a MASK token could “come sooner than you would expect,” describing it as a step toward greater decentralization for the platform.
However, the authenticity of the alleged claim site, claim.metamask.io, remains unverified. The portal is protected by Vercel Authenticator, a tool often used for staging or testing content — raising questions about whether it’s an official Consensys project or an unrelated imitation.
Adding to the speculation, MetaMask’s Director of Product, Christian Montoya, recently confirmed that the company is preparing to launch a loyalty rewards program worth $30 million. The initiative will allow users to earn points for trading and referrals, with plans to expand to new services like MetaMask Card and mUSD, the platform’s native stablecoin.
Still, MetaMask’s leadership has repeatedly warned users about potential scams and fake announcements. Co-founder Dan Finlay emphasized earlier this year that any legitimate token or reward program would be announced directly within the MetaMask app or on its official website — not through third-party links or unsolicited messages.
The concept of a MASK token isn’t new. As early as 2021, MetaMask engineer Erik Marks suggested that introducing a token could increase community ownership, echoing Lubin’s long-term vision of decentralization.
For now, the crypto community remains on alert, watching for any official confirmation from Consensys or MetaMask. The company has not yet commented on the site’s authenticity, and until it does, users are urged to remain cautious about potential phishing schemes.
