Metamask leaves the door open for token-despite changing crypto climate in the USA
Metamask developers have not excluded the introduction of a token – but if this occurs, users can expect transparent and fraud -proof introduction.
Co -founder Dan Finlay reacted When asked about a native metamask token and explained that every official announcement would be made directly via the wallet itself, not via social media or email links.
Although no official plans have yet been confirmed, Finlay admitted that the developing regulatory landscape in the USA could offer more flexibility for the introduction of conformer tokens, especially under the current government. He encouraged crypto developers to use the moment to explore new opportunities, as this could open the door for new innovations.
Metask has already examined the idea of a token in the past, with internal discussions and public hints back to 2021. The proposed token, mask, was intended as part of a strategy for gradual decentralization of the Consensys products. According to earlier statements, the token should be focused on financing the community than on governance and contain mechanisms to prevent opportunistic airdrop-farming.
Finlay also warned of the risks of a speculative hype that is often a magnet for phishing attempts. Every legitimate token publication can only be seen in the wallet itself or on the official channels of Metamask-nowhere else.
Metamask is still the most common Ethereum wallet and serves millions of users every month. In order to assert its management position, the team continues to work on the improvement of the user experience, while competition through other wallets such as Rainbow and Rabby is becoming increasingly tougher.
