MetaMask Co-Founder Revealed How the Company Would Announce a Native Token Launch
May 15, 2025 at 05:08 pm
In a recent interview, The Block's Head of Growth, Tim Copeland, asked the crypto wallet's co-founder Dan Finlay if the company was still
MetaMask, the popular cryptocurrency wallet, is still considering launching a native token, according to a recent interview with the co-founder, Dan Finlay.
The topic of a MetaMask token has been circulating for some time, with hints and rumors emerging throughout the year. Back in 2021, MetaMask engineer Erik Marks sparked the idea of community ownership of the wallet through a token launch. This thought was later echoed by ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin, who playfully asked "Wen $MASK?"
However, despite the speculation, there is no official confirmation or announcement of a token launch from MetaMask.
During an interview with the Block, Finlay was asked if the company is still planning to launch a native token sometime in the future. To this question, Finlay simply replied with "maybe."
When pressed for more details, Finlay pointed out that there’s still a lot of speculation surrounding whether the company will launch a token or not. This speculation stems from a post by MetaMask engineer Erik Marks back in 2021, where he prompted the idea of community ownership of the wallet through a token launch.
Later, ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin joined in on the discussion, posting a question on X, formerly Twitter, about "Wen $MASK?" in response to a post by blockchain developer Ben Armstrong.
Finlay clarified that if the team were to launch a token, it would be linked directly to the user’s digital wallet.
"You’ll be able to find a link directly in the wallet. You will not find some account on social media that you’ve never heard of giving you a link," Finlay explained.
Furthermore, he emphasized that information about a native token launch from MetaMask would not be distributed through email or a text message. Instead, it will be announced through official channels.
"It will be in the wallet, it will be on our main website. Use the channels you already know to find communications from us," Finlay added.
Finally, Finlay touched upon the shifting regulatory regime in the U.S., noting that the more crypto-friendly Trump administration provides more "safety for far more kinds of token launches."
"Hopefully people take this opportunity to push the boundaries and establish precedence for things that we can all be doing," Finlay concluded.
In early March, MetaMask issued a notice to users, cautioning them about accounts promoting fake MetaMask tokens. The platform clarified that claims suggesting the existence of a MetaMesh token or an airdrop linked to the platform are fabrications.
