Key Developments
- •A newly discovered MetaMask domain, claim.metamask.io, suggests a potential MASK token airdrop portal.
- •Polymarket traders have increased the odds of a MetaMask airdrop occurring before the end of 2025.
- •MetaMask has expanded its features with the introduction of Perps and plans to integrate with Polymarket's POLY token.
Airdrop Speculation Intensifies
The emergence of a new MetaMask domain, claim.metamask.io, has significantly amplified speculation regarding a potential MASK token airdrop. This subdomain features a login portal, though no further details have been provided. The password-protected page was observed this week, leading many to anticipate the imminent launch of a claim portal. The design and structure of this page closely align with MetaMask's established ecosystem, further fueling these expectations.
This development follows the recent introduction of MetaMask Rewards, a loyalty program designed to track user engagement in DeFi activities. Through this rewards program, users can accumulate points by performing token swaps, bridging assets, and interacting with supported Layer-2 networks. ConsenSys launched this rewards program in conjunction with its Ethereum Layer-2 network, Linea, indicating a move towards deeper integration. Analysts suggest that these accumulated reward points could serve as a determining factor for eligibility in any future MASK token distribution.
Rising Airdrop Odds and New Features
On-chain observers continue to draw connections between the rollout of the rewards program and the anticipated MASK token airdrop. On the prediction market platform Polymarket, the probability of a MetaMask airdrop occurring before the end of the current year has risen.
In parallel, MetaMask has launched MetaMask Perps, a new feature enabling perpetual futures trading on EVM-compatible networks. The platform also intends to integrate with Polymarket, including support for its POLY token airdrop. ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin has previously affirmed plans for a MetaMask token to bolster decentralization efforts. While MetaMask has not yet announced an official launch date for its token, various indicators continue to suggest an impending release.
