19-9-2025 – Consensys CEO Joe Lubin has announced that the MetaMask wallet’s proposed MASK token will launch sooner than anticipated.In an interview today, Lubin tied the token to advancing decentralization features within the Ethereum-based self-custodial wallet, developed by Consensys.
While specifics on tokenomics remain undisclosed, the rollout may reward early users active in swaps, with promotion handled directly in-app, as noted by MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay. Finlay cited a supportive regulatory landscape under the current administration as a factor easing issuance. The token could integrate with Linea, Consensys’s zero-knowledge rollup Layer-2, where Lubin recently highlighted expanded reward programs.
This aligns with MetaMask’s recent debut of its native stablecoin, mUSD, issued via Stripe’s Bridge and M0 infrastructure on Ethereum and Linea. mUSD, now at a $53.4 million market cap with 52% trading volume growth in the last 24 hours, aims to streamline on-ramping, earning, and spending for broader adoption. Developers and users will await details on the MASK rollout timeline and Linea synergies in the coming weeks.
