聯合創始人丹·芬利（Dan Finlay）說

擁有超過3000萬個月活躍用戶的最受歡迎的以太坊錢包Metamask可能會越來越接近發行其本地硬幣

Popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask, which has over 30 million monthly active users, may be getting closer to launching its own native token, co-founder Dan Finlay said.

聯合創始人丹·芬利（Dan Finlay）表示，擁有超過3000萬個活躍用戶的流行加密貨幣錢包元馬斯克可能會越來越接近推出自己的原住民代幣。

Finlay was addressing rumors of the token, known as MASK, which have been swirling for years. He told The Block’s "Crypto Beat" program that it is still under consideration, but he is optimistic it will happen eventually.

芬利（Finlay）談到了代幣的謠言，被稱為“面具”，這些謠言多年來一直在旋轉。他告訴該塊的“加密毆打”計劃，它仍在考慮的情況下，但他很樂觀，最終會發生。

"We are going to do this. But no time frame yet," Finlay said.

芬利說：“我們將要這樣做。但是還沒有時間範圍。”

Asked if MetaMask will create its own token, Finlay said, "Maybe. We will be very open about it. So if it does happen, you will see it announced on the MetaMask blog and in the wallet itself. There will be a clear connection itself."

當被問及MetAmask是否會創建自己的代幣時，Finlay說：“也許。我們將對它非常開放。因此，如果確實發生，您將在Metamask博客和錢包本身中看到它宣布了它。會有明確的聯繫本身。”

This is part of an effort to protect users from fraudulent schemes that could cash in on rumors of the token launch.

這是保護用戶免受欺詐性計劃的努力的一部分，這些計劃可以在代幣發布的傳言中兌現。

Rumors of a MetaMask token began in 2021, when ConsenSys, the parent company of MetaMask, experimented with community-driven governance models based on tokens.

Metamask代幣的謠言始於2021年，當時Metamask的母公司Consensys試驗了基於令牌的社區驅動治理模型。

ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin also fueled speculation in a December 2021 tweet, where he asked "Wen $MASK?" and teased the possibility of the token in an interview with Bloomberg in January 2022.

共識首席執行官約瑟夫·盧賓（Joseph Lubin）在2021年12月的一條推文中也促進了猜測，他問“ Wen $面具？”並在2022年1月接受彭博社採訪時取笑了令牌的可能性。

Later that year, Lubin said the aim was to encourage “gradual decentralization” in ConsenSys projects, with a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to distribute funds, not rule.

當年晚些時候，盧賓說，目的是鼓勵共識項目中的“逐步分散”，並通過分散的自治組織（DAO）分配資金，而不是規則。

A new administration in the U.S. could open opportunities for such a move, presenting a chance for safer token launches, Finlay added.

Finlay補充說，在美國，新的政府可以為這種舉動打開機會，為更安全的令牌發布提供了機會。

"With a more permissive administration there is scope to do that in a safer way. But there are still going to be big roadblocks with the U.S. securities laws, because they are going to continue to be a barrier to a lot of tokens being launched in a compliant manner," Finlay said.

Finlay說：“憑藉更安全的管理，可以以更安全的方式做到這一點。但是，美國證券法仍然將有很大的障礙，因為它們將繼續成為以合規方式推出的許多代幣的障礙。”

He added that any rumors of the token should be disregarded, and that the company would never use unofficial channels, such as text messages or email, to announce the token.

他補充說，應該忽略關於代幣的任何謠言，並且該公司永遠不會使用非官方渠道（例如短信或電子郵件）宣布令牌。

"We will never use channels where we don't have complete control over the messaging. So, for example, we would never announce the token launch in a text message, because we don't collect users' mobile numbers. You will only see legitimate updates about the token on the MetaMask website or inside the wallet itself," Finlay said.

Finlay說：“我們永遠不會完全控制消息傳遞。因此，例如，我們永遠不會在短信中宣布令牌啟動，因為我們沒有收集用戶的手機號碼。您只會在Metamask網站上或錢包本身內看到有關令牌的合法更新。”

His comments come as hot wallet competition heats up, with the likes of Rainbow and Rabby gaining traction.

當熱錢包比賽升溫時，他的評論出現了，彩虹和拉比等人都受到了關注。

Finlay acknowledged the competitive landscape and said the MetaMask team, which has about 500 employees, has been working hard over the past year to improve the user experience and keep ahead.

Finlay承認了競爭環境，並表示擁有約500名員工的Metamask團隊在過去一年中一直在努力改善用戶體驗並保持領先地位。

"We are in a very permissionless space, so there is a lot of competition. But we are very focused on providing the best possible experience for our users. We are also constantly innovating and adding new features."

“我們處於一個非常有許可的空間，因此有很多競爭。但是我們非常專注於為用戶提供最佳體驗。我們也在不斷地創新和添加新功能。”

MetaMask is the most popular Ethereum wallet and a key part of the DeFi ecosystem. It is used by millions of people around the world to access decentralized applications and manage their cryptocurrency.

Metamask是最受歡迎的以太坊錢包，也是Defi生態系統的關鍵部分。它被世界各地數百萬人用於訪問分散應用程序並管理其加密貨幣。

The wallet is known for its user-friendliness and security, and it has been praised by cryptocurrency enthusiasts for its role in making DeFi more accessible to the mainstream.

該錢包以其用戶友好性和安全性而聞名，加密貨幣愛好者在使Defi更容易成為主流方面的作用受到讚揚。

A potential token would further deepen users' engagement with MetaMask's ecosystem, allowing for community-driven features and/or incentives to be integrated.

潛在的令牌將進一步加深用戶與MetAmask的生態系統的參與，從而允許整合以社區為導向的功能和/或激勵措施。

Talks of a token go as far back as a 2021 developer call, where engineer Erik Marks suggested the community ownership method over a token. Later, Lubin described the DAO as a funding mechanism, not a governance body with safeguards from opportunistic investors.

關於代幣的談話可以追溯到2021年的開發人員呼叫，工程師埃里克·馬克斯（Erik Marks）建議通過代幣的社區所有權方法。後來，盧賓將DAO描述為一種資金機制，而不是具有機會主義投資者保障措施的治理機構。

Finlay noted that any token would not be a "quick profit scheme" according to MetaMask's long-term decentralization.

Finlay指出，根據MetAmask的長期權力下放，任何代幣都不是“快速利潤計劃”。

The regulatory environment remains primary. Finlay remarked that while a more relaxed U.S. administration would bode better for innovation, it wouldn't negate the existing securities laws. He cited former Chair of the SEC Gary Gensler's stance on how many such launches appear as securities offerings and should be meticulously handled.

監管環境仍然是主要的。 Finlay指出，儘管更輕鬆的美國政府將對創新更好地兆頭，但它不會否定現有證券法。他列舉了SEC Gary Gensler的前主席，即有關證券產品的出現，應精心處理。

MetaMask's concerns highlight the importance of trust in the crypto space. As they navigate a competitive landscape and evolving regulations, they concentrate on official communication channels to safeguard users from scams.

Metamask的關注點突出了信任對加密貨幣空間的重要性。當他們在競爭環境和不斷發展的法規中瀏覽時，他們專注於官方溝通渠道，以保護用戶免受騙局的影響。
