Title: Metamask - Wallet or Account?
Post by: Croin on October 19, 2021, 11:34:46 PM
Hey guys
would in a potential Airdrop from Metamask the Account 1 receive the tokens where it was swapped or the Wallet?
So if I've a wallet and made 5 swaps with 5 different Accs would I be still eligable for the drop with the 5 Accs or just once for the entire wallet?

And if someone is using his trezor/ledger with Metamask will he be eligable too?

Thank you!

Basically Metamask isnt a wallet, its just a tool for you can interact with your "wallet" and blockchain. Its can fill up with many "wallet" which mentioned as "account" there. If all your 5 account/ wallet is eligible to receive the airdrop, all of them would receive it later.

Can you tell me what kind of airdrop is this? i can help you to check it out what's the requirement to be eligible to recieve the airdrop.

So if I've a wallet and made 5 swaps with 5 different Accs would I be still eligable for the drop with the 5 Accs or just once for the entire wallet?
It depends on the requirement to receive the airdrop, if you are fulfilling all of requirements and then you will be eligible to receive the airdrop. having some swaps in your wallet didn't mean you have been fulfilling the requirements. It must be checked again. if you are fulfilling requirements and you will be receive your airdrop tokens.

And if someone is using his trezor/ledger with Metamask will he be eligable too?
As long as it has ever been used to do swap as a part of requirement to be eligible as a participant of airdrop and then it will eligible too.

Exactly, I don't remember who said on this issue (from dev) that they plan to airdrop on metamask.

Some of the requirements that I heard about are minimum swap of 3 transactions + transaction volume on the wallet reaches >$1000.

Basically I think it will be similar to some DEXs that have had airdrops before, OP please complete the above requirements and in my opinion be eligible to receive airdrops from them.

We don't know exactly how they are going to make this airdrop. I think there will be some rules for separate ethereum addresses - no matter how and where you created them.

I don't know what specific token airdrop you are talking about but in terms of Metamask, it is actually a combination of many things. Somebody here is saying that Metamask is not a wallet, but it is actually. Metamask is also a wallet. It is a browser extension which serves as a gateway for anybody to access their other wallets but it is also a wallet in itself. You could actually generate an address with Metamask.

I cannot comment on which wallet will be qualified to receive the airdrop that you talk about because I don't know the specific rules and conditions of that airdrop, but again Metamask is a wallet.

Basically, every account has its own address, it means that if you used different accounts, you might get airdrop on all of them. Metamask is a wallet where you can make up several accounts for using. This way you can use one account to different airdrops and risky things, and one more account for more serious work and store more money on it.

Which airdrop is this one? I haven't found anything stating there would be an airdrop from Metamask. Are they coming up with their own token? If anyone has any links or information please share.

Meta Mask is Good Extension Wallet of Ethereum and Other network Support.MetaMask Support of multi Chain Wallet like BNB, XDai, Matic, OKT, Etc chain.As per Press Released Metamask Team will Create token. in Future may be possible Metamask Giveing Airdrop. if Metamask send Airdrop. i think this very big airdrop in All the Airdrop till date.

Probably not based on swaps on your wallet. But number of wallets that you made swap. That's usually how this kind of airdrop works. For example on wallet 1 or address you swapped via metamask that's considered one. On wallet 2, (which is different address) could be another one. However not sure if this is only done on 1 account is my concern either its eligible or not. Better to have different accounts with multiple wallets to be sure.

Also you aren't sure how metamask plan to execute this or some criteria.

Actually Nobody said directly that Metamask will gave airdrop for their user but we can expect metamask airdrop in future or upcoming day becouse stil metamask not launched their native token, for every swap they collect very large amount as a fees, and also indirectly they said about their Governance token.

I believe you will get airdrop for each address that has already been making a swap. AFAIK, there is no way that Metamask know what particular address that some Wallets have.

Technically, the wallet does have many accounts because it is derived from the seed phrase that the wallet has. If Metamask knows what addresses belong to particular unique users, then they must have somehow collected the data about your addresses. But I doubt they collect those kinds of data.

I think there is no problem with what you do because Metamask has the ability to do that and is able to provide flexibility in what you do. because metamask is a multi-wallet that can indeed be used according to what you want.
The convenience of metamask is being able to use for any platform you may like and not be limited in using it. so you can do airdrops with multiple accounts though. that's the advantage of metamask which is really helpful for its users.

It's confusing, there's no airdrop that will come from metamask alone. You'll receive airdrops from different projects if you participate there. In the meanwhile, the rules will depend to the project that will land that airdrop to your wallet.
It's all about the rules about that airdrop and we have to know it first.

If I don't miss anything, the rule would be one airdrop claim for one person. You claim it with 5 accounts and I believe you broke rules of that company.

Swap will be for each of your address and smart contract. You can not do it with one swap. I think you use 5 addresses from 5 Metamask wallets, so how do you think you can swap it all in a single swap?

I think it is the same as any other form of decentralized wallet/tool application, Everyone (users) is entitled to receive the airdrop as long as you use the platform, and also you are qualified to the prerequisite and requirements needed to receive that so-called airdrop otherwise if you don't qualify you won't receive it. I find it exciting because Im using Metamask way back in the EtherDelta/Forkdelta DEx days.

I have not found any information, even approximate about this, in any case it will be random and unpredictable, no one knows, and in general the team can say that there will be no airdrop, which is quite likely.You still need to try, and luck will smile on you.

Airdrop from Metamask? this is the first time I heard about this giveaway token then will be send into Metamask.
Perhaps, if you will receive a rewards that means there will be no problem with the 5 accounts dude, but if you didn't
receive any rewards obviously, they're not allowing multiple accounts using metamask, just simple as that.

Yes, and they were supposed to have an ICO, I never waited. Was it postponed or did it go private? By logic Airdrop will check the IP at least, I think in fairness will accrue to you for 1 account.

Metamask is a place to store assets that we have, and can be used to store more than one asset. but to make swap transactions to get a drop, usually it can only be used once. and if you want to get another drop, then you have to use another wallet..

Metamask is one of the tools we use to participate in airdrops.
In the airdrop the tokens that we exchange will go into the wallet that we use to exchange coins.
if you use 5 different accounts to take part in the airdrop I think all 5 tokens will receive the airdrop.
there's nothing wrong with using 5 different accounts because it still counts as 1 account.

in fact metamask is not a wallet but an extension through which you can interact with your wallet safely, on the other hand you can add many wallets or create many new accounts (addresses) to be able to receive more airdrops, then you can easy do the swich of the same address on various blockchains such as eth, bsc, matic and many others is very usefull

Hey man. You missed up all the criteria of what MetaMask it is. MetaMask is not a wallet! We can say that it's a tool that let you interact with the Ethereum blockchain by using your browser. MyEtherWallet function in the same way but as a web application not as extension. There are several tools/methods to interact with the Blockchain, MetaMask is one of those tools and your wallet is also another tool. But please don't confuse with a client (wallet) and a browser addon.
The concept of "account" , as how you know it, don't fit with the Blockchain protocole .

What will be clearly known is through your wallet, because the Metamask application can be entered in several wallets at once with a sequence mark from one to so on, and it will be distinguished by wallet and network, not by IP, unless each participant is required to register their website.

Maybe you're right. But in any case, you have to do the SWAP in Metamask. The swaps can be good, like UniSwap and 1inch did. It's true that the commissions (GAS) in ETH network are quite high now.

Depend on the airdrop. If the rules says 1 wallet = 1 airdrop then it should just receive one.
But if it is said as 1 account per airdrop then you can make more in one Metamask wallet. But bro, that will be a hell of an amount of writing seed phrase with 12 words. If you create 10 accounts then you will be writing 120 words which I think is difficult to keep it safe. And if the airdrop is not as valuable as it should be, you will just be wasting gas fees for each to be swapped. It's not worth the effort.

The user interface metamask wallet is quite intuitive for normal ethereum users. If you are new to Ethereum, you might feel a little difficult to understand how it works at the beginning. Wallet security architecture is based on HD settings, so it is quite safe. A good security feature of the metamask wallet is that it automatically blocks a suspicious website that is active and running.

We are not store anything on metamask, we just unlock our wallet by providing the key, so we can interact with our assets on the blockchain. All our assets are on blockchain, not in metamask or another wallet interface.

This is true technically speaking. But his statement is not wrong either because you will need to input your recovery seed on metamask which means you are entrusting all your funds store on that wallet address to them. So basically you are storing your funds on there wallet app since you give them your keys.



I think the reward will base on the address that use to swap on there exchange. The purpose of there airdrop if there will be is to reward user that used there exchange. So using different wallet in different Metamask might give you an edge to receive more rewards but still this is just a speculation and obviously there's a risk on doing it.

As far as I know, your fear with a different account in doing an airdop or whatever will not actually be a problem. because metamask can indeed do that and is able to accommodate it and you can clearly receive according to what account number you provide, when participating in an airdrop or something else.

if it's a matter of meeting the requirements or not returning to the airdrop or what you are following, it's possible !!! but as far as I know, airdrops are unlikely to be seen from one account, but if you follow other programs there may be problems because usually the provisions do not allow the same person. once again all must be seen from the rules that have been used as a reference.

Metamask is one of the tools we use to participate in airdrops.
In the airdrop the tokens that we exchange will go into the wallet that we use to exchange coins.
if you use 5 different accounts to take part in the airdrop I think all 5 tokens will receive the airdrop.
there's nothing wrong with using 5 different accounts because it still counts as 1 account.
what you say can be true, but if this is specifically for airdrops, it seems that there will be no problems that will be accepted because airdrops to my knowledge, there are no clearly written prohibitions such as with bounties where there will be separate provisions. although some may use it with multiple accounts with one operator, if it is known it will be clearly disqualified. but in the airdrop it will be difficult to do that, but using the same social media might be problematic!!! (I've never tried it).

There are some rumours about Metamask creating their own currency or something like that back then on august but they didn't want to rush it and they also stating there are some plan or idea to running an airdrop too but for now are more focusing on layer-2 solution and compatibility with other network so we can't predict accurately when or even this thing will happens but there are some chance too since the team was stating this, You can see here https://min.news/en/economy/16fe0c9bc72eb9e351b64502f6915df1.html or just google it, Well we just can wait for now.

did you expect something like last year's uniswap airdrop? as far as I know airdrops like that are rarely known to most people, in fact it is very unlikely if the owner of the company announces every user to trade on the (A) (B) (C) exchange and you will get a commensurate.

I would like to think metamask is actually between being a wallet and an account without bringing any technical jargon into the picture but could be more sided of being a wallet. When altcoins and ICOs were popular when someone asked for best and safest  wallets for their Ethereum tokens the name that came up the most was of course metamask and I would still recommend it for someone looking for crypto familiarity.

So if I've a wallet and made 5 swaps with 5 different Accs would I be still eligable for the drop with the 5 Accs or just once for the entire wallet?

And if someone is using his trezor/ledger with Metamask will he be eligable too?

Thank you!

If making the swaps is the condition to get your reward then those other accounts should be treated as independent addresses too, as long as they haven't interacted with each other. Hope this isn't against the rules of the Airdrop.
