    Published on:

    The MetaMask crypto wallet team has announced the launch of the MetaMask Rewards program, which will provide users with more than $30 million in LINEA tokens.

    According to the company’s representatives, the initiative “is not a farming play,” but part of a long-term strategy to develop the ecosystem and prepare for the issuance of its own MetaMask token.

    MetaMask has officially confirmed:

    “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.”

    According to the team, MetaMask Rewards Season 1 will be one of the largest on-chain programs in the crypto industry. It will include referral bonuses, mUSD incentives, exclusive affiliate rewards, and access to new tokens.

    MetaMask also emphasized that the initiative aims to “be a genuine method of regularly giving back to our community,” and that long-time users of the wallet will receive special benefits.

    “And to the OGs […] we see you. Long-time MetaMask users will not be ignored — they’ll be given special benefits, and MetaMask Rewards will have meaningful connections with the future MetaMask token.”

    The program is expected to be fully launched in the coming weeks.

    The announcement of MetaMask Rewards follows a series of strategic steps taken by the company. In particular, in September 2025, MetaMask launched its own stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), which operates on the Ethereum and Linea networks. Its issuer is Bridge, and short-term US Treasury bonds back it.

    In addition, Consensys CEO and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin confirmed that they are preparing to issue the MASK token, which should be a step towards the decentralization of MetaMask, while the Linea project and its token have become an example for a similar process.
