Lubin Says MetaMask Token Is Coming Sooner Than Expected

The MASK release is pitched as a step toward governance‑focused decentralization, with tokenomics and distribution still unannounced.

Overview

  • Joseph Lubin confirmed on The Block that a native MASK token is on the way and may arrive sooner than expected, for a wallet reported to serve over 30 million monthly users.
  • The token is described as enabling user governance and rewarding active participation as MetaMask moves to decentralize parts of its platform.
  • No launch date, supply, tokenomics, or eligibility rules have been disclosed, and MetaMask has previously warned that any pre‑market listings are unaffiliated.
  • MetaMask’s infrastructure now includes the mUSD stablecoin live on Ethereum and Linea and integrated with the MetaMask Card, with a reported market cap above $50 million.
  • Prediction markets gauge the odds at roughly 32% for a launch before November 1 and about 46% by year‑end, while regulatory scrutiny could influence design and timing.
