Speculation about the long-awaited MASK token grows as Polymarket traders bet on a 35% chance of launch in 2025
The crypto community is abuzz after a new website surfaced on Monday appearing to be a MetaMask token claim portal, reigniting speculation that the MASK token could be released sooner than expected.
The supposed domain — claim.metamask.io — appeared online using a password-protected Vercel Authenticator, a setup often used for private or staging sites. However, it remains unclear whether the link is officially tied to MetaMask or its parent company, Consensys.
Following the discovery, Polymarket prediction markets saw a sharp increase in bets, with traders now pricing in a 35% probability that MetaMask will launch its token before year-end. The speculation adds fresh momentum to one of the most anticipated potential token launches in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Official hints and decentralization goals
MetaMask executives have previously hinted that a MASK token could be part of the company’s decentralization roadmap. In September, Consensys CEO Joe Lubin remarked that the token “could come sooner than you would expect,” describing it as an essential step toward expanding user governance.
MetaMask’s Director of Product Christian Montoya also confirmed plans for a new loyalty program offering $30 million in rewards. Users would earn points for trading within the wallet and referring friends — a system that may later extend to MetaMask Card and mUSD, the platform’s native stablecoin.
User safety and official confirmation
Despite the excitement, MetaMask has cautioned users against phishing attempts. Co-founder Dan Finlay emphasized that any legitimate token information will appear only within the MetaMask wallet or official website, not through unsolicited links or messages.
The concept of a MASK token dates back to 2021, when early developers suggested introducing a community-owned governance model similar to other decentralized organizations. While MetaMask has yet to confirm any launch details, market enthusiasm continues to build as investors watch for signs of an official announcement.
