Metamask Airdrop Countdown Begins as Wallet Team Registers Token Claim Domain

In a fresh development, a newly registered claim domain has led to speculations that the Metamask airdrop could begin soon. This comes after the launch of the rewards point system initiative.

Metamask Rolls Out Token Claim Page, Signaling Airdrop Imminent

Reports have been circulating about the potential launch of the wallet’s airdrop after users discovered a newly registered domain, “claim.metamask.io.” Many claim that this is linked to an upcoming token claim portal. 

The page currently prompts investors for authentication. This has fueled talk that the wallet may soon open claims for its rumored MASK token distribution.

Earlier this month, Metamask unveiled plans for a $30 million rewards program tied to Consensys’ Ethereum Layer-2 network, Linea. The wallet activated a new rewards section, signaling that the points-based system is nearing launch. 

Users will earn points for on-chain activities such as swapping tokens or bridging assets between networks. Experts suggest these reward points may be needed to claim MASK tokens in the upcoming airdrop.

The company says the program is designed to reward existing user activity while re-engaging inactive wallets.

Consensys CEO Joe Lubin emphasized that the upcoming token airdrop and reward structure is “a bridge between the wallet’s DeFi utility and its next stage of decentralization.”

This development follows Lubin’s September announcement. He confirmed that the MASK token would arrive “sooner than many expect.” This reinforced expectations that the wallet’s long-awaited token debut is imminent.

Metamask Builds on Previous Ecosystem Developments

Beyond the token speculation, the Web3 wallet rolled out major new features earlier this month. Users can now trade derivatives directly from any network that is compatible with EVM. This comes as the wallet rolled out support for Hyperliquid-powered perpetual futures trading. Plans to integrate Polymarket later this year were also confirmed by the team.

In other developments, Polymarket’s CMO Matthew Modabber revealed that the platform is preparing to launch its own POLY token with a retroactive airdrop, further aligning its roadmap with the Metamask ecosystem. 

Despite the excitement, reactions within the community have been mixed. Some long-time users have praised the wallet’s move toward decentralization. Others feel overlooked after years of supporting the network during the costly DeFi and NFT surges of 2020 and 2021.

In response, the wallet’s developers clarified that the rewards program is not a one-time mining or airdrop event. In order to identify consistent user activity across several DeFi interactions, they agreed on a sustainable framework.
