MetaMask, the world’s leading crypto wallet developed by Consensys, is preparing to roll out a major reward points program in the coming weeks. The program aims at boosting user engagement and strengthening the DeFi ecosystem.

Yes, a rewards program is on the way. ?
Any of the details you've previously seen/heard are not indicative of what is to actually launch. Let's talk a little bit about what the actual MetaMask Rewards program WILL be.
This program will yield referral rewards, mUSD…

According to the official announcement, users will be able to earn rewards by performing actions such as referring others, using the mUSD stablecoin, joining exclusive partnership events, and unlocking token-based features.
The first phase of the campaign will distribute over $30 million worth of LINEA tokens, the native asset of Consensys’ Layer 2 network Linea, which launched in September alongside a massive 9.4 billion-token airdrop.
Rewarding Long-Term Users and Hinting at MASK Token Integration
MetaMask emphasized that the program is designed to reward loyal users with “exclusive benefits.” The company also hinted that its long-anticipated MASK native token will be “substantively connected” to the rewards system.
Officials clarified that this is not a short-term mining scheme, but a sustainable rewards mechanism that recognizes and incentivizes community participation over time.
MetaMask Moves Toward Decentralization
With over 100 million users worldwide, MetaMask remains one of the most widely used gateways to the Web3 ecosystem, supporting multi-chain interoperability and Ethereum-based dApps.
Consensys CEO and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin said the initiative aligns with the company’s long-term vision of gradually decentralizing the platform’s infrastructure and governance.
The program will also reward users for everyday activities, including token swaps via MetaMask’s aggregator and cross-chain bridging, to enhance liquidity and user retention.
However, MetaMask has not yet confirmed whether the program will include regional restrictions or implement anti-sybil measures to prevent exploitation.
Stablecoin Expansion and MASK Token Plans
MetaMask recently launched mUSD, a stablecoin issued by Bridge, a subsidiary of Stripe, currently with a circulation of approximately $87.7 million.
Meanwhile, preparations for the MASK governance token are reportedly underway, with plans to integrate it into decentralized governance and potentially the new reward structure.
MetaMask’s reward rollout could reshape user engagement within Web3 wallets, bridging DeFi participation, gamified loyalty systems, and the long-awaited move toward decentralized ownership.
As the MASK token launch nears, investors and Web3 enthusiasts are watching closely to see how MetaMask transforms from a utility wallet into a community-driven DeFi hub.
