How to get MetaMask Airdrop: Guide to Earning MASK Token

MetaMask Airdrop might not be another token drop; it's potentially a game-changer for long-term users. Recent announcements indicate that MetaMask is rolling out a rewards initiative, distributing over $30M in $LINEA for Season 1.

This program is designed to reward on-chain activities like swapping and bridging, while hinting at deeper connections to a future $MASK. But before diving into the rewards, let's start from the beginning. 

What is MetaMask? 

MetaMask is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, a tool that allows users to manage crypto assets securely while bridging the gap between traditional web browsing and blockchain interactions. Launched in 2016 by ConsenSys, a blockchain software company founded by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, MetaMask has grown to over 30 million monthly active users. 

Today, MetaMask supports more than 100 blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), Arbitrum, Optimism,...and even non-EVM chains like Solana and Bitcoin through recent API expansions. This multi-chain compatibility has made it indispensable for DeFi enthusiasts, NFT collectors, and developers building dApps.  

What is Metamask Reward Program? 

On 6th October 2025, MetaMask officially announced its new rewards program, making MetaMask's entry into the trend of Web3 rewards systems, similar to those seen in projects like Linea or Optimism . 

MetaMask Reward Program is a new initiative designed to incentivize user engagement and loyalty within the MetaMask ecosystem. In community discussions, the initiative is often called the "Point Program". It’s not a random token giveaway, but a structured rewards model to boost onchain activity, foster community growth, and prepare potential $MASK. 

In Season 1, MetaMask plans to distribute $30M+ worth of $LINEA, the native token of Linea, a layer-2 network built by ConsenSys and closely tied to MetaMask. Points earned on Linea receive a bonus, incentivizing adoption of this layer-2 chain.

“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 awards points based on onchain actions. Key activities might include:

• Trade Tokens: Using MetaMask's built-in swap feature, users earn points proportional to transaction volume. For spot trades, it's approximately 80 points per $100 traded. Perpetual trades yield fewer points, around 10 per $100.
• Referral System: Inviting friends to use MetaMask grants referral rewards, including points or direct incentives.
• Other Activities: Staking, providing liquidity in DeFi protocols, or interacting with partner dApps may also qualify. 

Importantly, MetaMask emphasizes that this is not a farming program. It's meant to genuinely reward organic usage, with anti-abuse measures in place. 

While it’s not officially an airdrop yet, the points earned are widely expected to influence $MASK distribution once the token launches. This mirror successful reward models ConsenSys used for Linea. 

However, MetaMask has warned users to be cautious about false rumors, stressing that the program’s details are still evolving. Participating in the MetaMask Point Program should be viewed as a preparatory step, way to increase users' likelihood of receiving a future $MASK airdrop. 

Moreover, MetaMask may consider off-chain and community-based factors beyond onchain activity. Potential criteria could include holding a MetaMask Card, or contributing to the ecosystem’s growth.

How to do MetaMask Airdrop 

Participating in the potential MetaMask Airdrop via the Reward Program is straightforward but requires consistent, daily activity. While no official information about $MASK airdrop has been confirmed, earning points is your best positioning strategy.

This article will guide you through all the key eligibility criteria mentioned for MetaMask Reward Program. Once the official program is launched, it will be updated with the most accurate information directly from the project.

For now, based on leaked data, users could start experimenting and earning points in advance. Long-time users (OGs) could receive special perks, including retroactive rewards for historical activity, up to 50,000 points based on past trading volume. According to early test data, that equals roughly 250 points for every $1,250 volume traded in previous transactions. 

Note: The information about OGs history point has not been officially confirmed by MetaMask. For that reason, you should consider starting to trade before or after the MetaMask Reward Program officially launches.

Setup MetaMask Wallet 

Doing MetaMask airdrop, definitely users need MetaMask Wallet. 

MetaMask Wallet is available as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox, and also as a mobile app for iOS and Android. In this guide, let’s use the Chrome extension as an example (steps on Firefox are almost identical). 

To set up MetaMask:

1. Download the MetaMask extension from metamask.io or browser’s extension store (Chrome, Firefox).
2. Create a new MetaMask wallet or import an existing one using your passphrase.
3. Log in to your wallet. 

Important: Always keep passphrases safe. Do not share it with anyone. Losing it means you cannot recover your wallet. Enable 2FA for additional security.

Remember, fund your wallet before using it. To join in MetaMask Reward Program, you must have ETH and a compatible token via a CEX like Binance or Coinbase. Start small to minimize risks.  

How to swap on MetaMask 

For easier, users can access MetaMask's Portfolio page, where all features have been arranged in a friendly and easy-to-use interface.

Step 1: Go to MetaMask Portfolio and click Connect Wallet to connect your wallet.

Step 2: From the left sidebar, select Move Crypto → Swap. 

Step 3: Users can choose the blockchain network where they want to swap. Since MetaMask has hinted at bonus rewards for transactions made on Linea, it is recommended to swap on the Linea network to maximize points earned.

Step 4: Select the tokens to swap, then click Get Quotes for choosing the best route.

Step 5: Check every information before swap. Then, click Swap to confirm. 

Note:  

• Estimated Gas Fee: For every transaction send in MetaMask, you will need to pay gas. Estimated Gas Fee are the fee estimates and can change based on how busy the network is and how complex a transaction is.  
• MetaMask Fee: The fee of 0.875% is automatically factored into the quote users choose. You will pay it in DEX for a license to use MetaMask's liquidity provider information aggregation software. 
• You can change the swap route by clicking Quote.  

How to bridge on MetaMask 

Still no data mentions of bridge volume yet in the early leaks from the community, it is highly likely that bridging activity will become an essential part of the MetaMask Reward Program in the future. 

As bridging is one of the core onchain actions that proves genuine user participation, it may eventually play a significant role in calculating points or determining eligibility for the upcoming $MASK airdrop.

Step 1: In MetaMask Portfolio, select Move Crypto → Bridge. 

Step 2: Select the network and token you want to bridge from destination. In this article, let’s take ETH in Base as an example. Then enter the amount you want to bridge. 

Select the recommended route or choose another option by clicking More Quotes.

Step 3: Check every information before bridge. Click Confirm to bridge.

The transaction will be submitted. Users will be able to view their assets on the selected chain.

Refer Friends 

Referral rewards are expected soon. By sharing your referral link, you can earn more points once the feature goes live.

How to trade Perp on MetaMask 

MetaMask will enable perpetual trading directly via Hyperliquid integration. Users will be able to trade perpetual futures contracts without leaving MetaMask. 

This feature has not gone live yet, so this article will be updated after the announcement from the project.

Track Your Progress

 Once launched, points will appear in your MetaMask dashboard. Use tools like DeBank or Zapper.fi to track your onchain activity.

• Avoid Common Pitfalls: Don't farm aggressively and beware of scams; only use official links. If you're an OG, your onchain history could qualify you for special benefits.
• Prepare for Claiming: When rewards or airdrop go live, only connect your wallet to the official claim site. Complete any KYC if required. 

By following these steps, you could earn $LINEA tokens in Season 1 and position for $MASK. If there are any updates from MetaMask official announcements, this article will be updated as soon as possible.

Conclusion 

The MetaMask Airdrop and Reward Program mark the beginning of MetaMask’s shift toward decentralization and user ownership. By staying active and earning points, users can not only collect $LINEA rewards but also position themselves early for the potential $MASK airdrop. 

Being early is everything, and this could be your chance.
