Its seems that metamask retrospective airdrop is very near

 In an August 2021 community call, the MetaMask team openly discussed the possibility of a token launch. And just last month, MetaMask’s lead of operations “Jacobc.eth” told DeCrypt that a token launch wouldn’t be a “cash grab” and wouldn’t put governance into the hands of “airdrop farmers”

With more than 30 million monthly active user on metamask (as a wallet) i wonder how will be the filtering and who will be the real metamask user, do you guys have an idea about this?

In my opinion if there will be a minimum ethereum transactions used by metamask to filter the airdrop participants. I mean you can imagine when metamask was issuing billion tokens and it can be airdropped into so many metamaskusers but yeah this must be based on ethereum network. I think that there are some criterias to receive the metamask airdrop to filter it from the so many spam wallet.
The requirements will be quite similar with the airdrop by another platform.
I think that there will be a very strict requirement for that.

It will better if metamusk launch there own token like uniswap but if they distribute token to 30M active wallet according to your post information then many scammers will get huge token and they will become rich . around 80% people from crypto users use malti wallet from metamusk . i think they should distribute airdrop token to must activate and min a requirement amount of transactions wallet.

I am sure that if there will be a airdrop for Metamask then it would be the activity of each wallet that can be the main gauge as to qualification and the quantity to be airdropped. Many people have talked on this last year and maybe there will really be one which hopefully I can be one of its many recipients though honestly am more active in Trustwallet than here. Certainly, this can be helping Metamask solidify its leadership in the cryptocurrency market and of course such a move can mean a windfall of possible profits to many of us.

Its kinda hard to know which way or method they will go but of course they already saw some of the airdrop processes of some dex and wallets out there and Im sure they will consider the criteria on how those users will be given rewards. But speculating it would be based on swap and the activity on metamask done by such wallet history. Who knows.

There is no way to know which method the metamask team are going to use for airdrop claiming but I can assure you that it's not going to be fair, they've already mentioned this in the past weeks or so, don't expect too much from this Airdrop.

It was unthinkable before if metamask could detect old users and how it worked, they must have embedded a certain recorder to filter that out. My assumption is that the address generated from the metamask will leave a trace. Even though I'm not very good at keeping privacy, this airdrop also means indirectly revealing that you used a metamask after I claimed the reward.

Given the fact that the number of Metamask users is very large, then, accordingly, the airdrop will be small. But it is very likely that more stringent conditions will be introduced for obtaining this airdrop, such as trade turnover and the date of registration of the wallet.

I think about metamask airdrop is notwith ethereum transaction but also with several participants ever swap on metamask site, have launch last several year with this transaction swap on metamask but looks not interested because not any exact date about airdrop distribution. I think every one ever make swap there on metamask will receive an airdrop coin but still not any confirmation yet what coin will received. Not clearly information about metamask airdrop because have running issues almost one year but still not have exact date when distribution begin.

Metamask analytical tools don't collect that kind of data[1]. Though I'm not sure about what data the default RPC collected, and also the swap feature. Maybe they will use a combination of it to whitelist the airdrop participants, somehow.

Also, I noticed that even it was already addressed in the [1] article, I see that they have changed from Matomo to Segment for event tracking. I don't which analytical tools currently have changed.

I have heard a lot about it since after the uniswap airdrop, Defi platforms kept growing and brought many other big airdrops into the space. Initially, there will only be a certain number of people who meet the criteria to be able to receive the airdrop. I think it could be the volume of transactions and the volume of transactions. Hopefully, I will also be able to receive this airdrop from Metamask. :)

they should reward OG users. Since we were prone for early bugs and hacks before the normies started using their wallet.

It's not going to be what many expected it to be, I'm sure the team will give those early users the access to claim Airdrop for free not those that started using Metamask months back, many people won't be qualified for this Airdrop that's my believe.

Perhaps, Metamask will use something like Uniswap did before, which they give the airdrops to the active users that already use the wallets. It will not be easy to detect, but somehow, I think Metamask can do that as they will have a way to know which wallet always use their product. But it still needs time before they activate the airdrop and make sure that everything can run smoothly. While it is good news for Metamask users, I think they will still use Metamask besides using the other wallet.

Come on they can easily add new verification criteria to the wallet. Otherwise if you check the Gleam airdrops then they are the shittiest one and anyone can easily create multiple account and claim huge number of airdrops. Literally I have seen micro tasks on a website where I work and the advertiser ask you to perform the tasks and create airdrop using our social accounts but the BSC addresses are theres. So easy to screw the airdrop that way but unfortunately they just separate the accounts using email ID and social accounts which can be made easily.

However, company like MetaMask is huge now, they will surely add up additional step like OTP verification or may be Signing a message on the Device from where you are logged in. So I dont think this will be big deal for them.

I think the results will be based on criteria related to user interaction with the application. I don't think many people will get this airdrop, and it will probably be broadcast on the ERC20 network first, so in the previous period, only users who were willing to accept a high transaction fee from ETH will have a great chance to receive it. It will certainly be the long awaited coin. Perhaps we will soon see a new star in this space.

I also heard rumors about a airdrop of Metamask tokens in many different telegram channels many times now over the course of the last few months. So far i was never lucky to be part of the last few big airdrops that happened like the one from Uniswap, opensea or the most recent one from apecoin. If metamask is really doing an airdrop then i should be also getting some tokens this time and i would guess that this could be one of the biggest airdrops that ever happened because Metamask is the most common crypto wallet out there as far as i know, maybe not for mobile devices but definitely for the internet browsers, so if really hundreds of thousand people get an airdrop i am not sure if the sell pressure will not get to high.

30 million active users is a lot. If everyone is given 100 dollars, then this is already 3 billion. Either there will be a very strict selection of users for the airdrop, or the reward will be small, due to the large number of participants.

It looks like it will be the same as Uniswap, at least within 30 days the snapshot will have to have an active transaction (a specified value or there is a transaction minimum) to be eligible for the Metamask airdrop.
Airdrop models like this are actually good, usually they really succeed until some people get big assets from the airdrop,
it's just that it requires calculations and also capital.
As we know that transactions with the Ethereum network are very expensive, unless you really work for it, so please consider it.

We will have to see, for now it's under speculation, but it will be huge if they will actually do a airdrop. But the problem is that the timing itself, we are in a bear market so now sure if that is advisable to do the airdrop at this point.

Although who wouldn't want it though? I mean as the OP said, Metamask has a lot of users and potential users in the future.

Its true that if they distribute all of the tokens to the all user the real active user will not get much token even scammer become rich as you said .I think they will surely make a plan if they distribute token ,they will surely find to active user and real metamask user who are not scammer .I have heard this news many days before once again find the link again not sure that they will surely launch their own token and give airdrop like uniswap .Its a good sign to come into the market and they will have a sure market value with top project .Metamask is a popular wallet platform so the project will be huge and they will surely do everything according to their plan .So i am not worried much about it ,hopefully i will get some free token if they drop .

Honestly early users of Metamask should be well compensated with their airdrop, personally I had been using Metamask as an alternative to ERC20 wallet for a long time, I was endeared to it having a simple and friendly user interface which is easily navigable, Metamask launch of their airdrop is long over due and if eventually and successfully launched will be a welcome development subsequently transforming their token to a tradeable coin in no distant future, of course if launched they will have massive investors of their projects being a very feasible project with future potentials.

This is going to be tough, 30 million active users also means one user can have more than 20 wallets, how will they be able to identify those with multiple wallets that can abuse the airdrop. Am sure the team already have a criteria to carry out this task because this is going to be one of the biggest airdrop in crypto history.

whatever I know, the airdrop for the project's users will definitely not leak the rewards for the users. this is a matter of privacy, even if exposed, there will certainly be at least certain conditions that make it more difficult to avoid bots. what we need to know at least we have to update about the media information

They surely anticipate that scenario and they have to set criteria to fairly spread and give airdrops to all the users. They'll be in a different strategy of distribution unlike the usual where e.g $100,000 are divided into the total numbers of participants.
Like it was said a total of 30 million active users, that kinda be challenging for them to detect multiple account users. Or the easiest way is for the airdrop will be distributed to everyone who is detected as active. Well, anyway, probably they already have an idea what they gonna do, and I know they could handle this one and look forward to the success of the said event.

Two possibilities that can occur due to the large number of Metamask users themselves,
we'll see what the rules will be like later because a lot of people are waiting for the airdrop for sure,
stay patient and wait for the latest news about the Metamask airdrop

this airdrop model, is almost everyone's favorite model because it is very similar to the many exploding airdrops, they used to be dominated by Uniswap and 1inch.
furthermore metamask will also launch soon, but that's of course with certain conditions and I'm sure it's not easy.
If it says within 30 days of actively using the wallet, of course there is a minimum transaction that must be fulfilled in order to be eligible.
At least we should consider that before joining this metamask airdrop.

The number of active users on metamask is very high comparable to other other dexex who did airdrops, i believe they will do the most heavy filtering to reward just the real users not airdrop farmers so i believe this gonna be the heaviest filtering for an airdrop

Is the Airdrop on Metamask so valuable and so valuable that it should be made a kind of filter for the lucky few?
Because usually Airdrops don't often make such heavy filtering in the past if the tokens can be really valuable or very well priced in the market.

Because this airdrops means free money so no one is harmed by anything used by metamask developers in the distribution mechanism, lucky if the price of the token distributed is high value, because if it is not, even though one user has many wallets who get airdrop tokens they will take into account the gas fee which may rise again in the future thereby preventing the recipient from selling because the token price does not cover the gas fee that must be spent.

You don't have to worry about this because weeks ago a news came out from Metamask dev and he started that Airdroppers shouldn't expect the type of gains they made from uniswap and 1inch from Metamask airdrop, its going to be different and relatives small, I believe they have a plan about the distribution.

I think we all saw how TWT airdrop happened, it would be good if the conditions were set and therefore not everyone would benefit from it. However, if it includes every user of the wallet, it may mean identity verification or some additional conditions.

In general, this airdrop will not be valuable and will cause more problems for the project than real financial opportunities for them.

Do not forget that it may increase fraud cases since many beginners are willing to enter their wallet seeds as soon as they are asked about it.

Thats kinda huge amount of users for an app, no doubt Metamask is really popular and those who will be eligible for this airdrop are so lucky. I hope those who use metamask that already spent a lot of gas will benefit from this airdrop.

Is there anything more about this? Like who will get it when etc? It's good idea I hope it happens.

If that is the case, we should wait for the next update from the dev because he learned something from the other projects that already gave airdrops to people. If they think that giving the airdrops like uniswap is not easy to distribute, they will figure out the other ways that will be simple than the previous projects.

Meanwhile, I think people are getting prepared for this news by using Metamask because they expect to get the airdrops from Metamask like what they got from uniswap and other projects.

Well, I feel not excited, not even I think about it, I simply don't just expect. Let see...

https://www.thecryptoinsight.com/2022/03/how-to-become-eligible-for-the-metamask-airdrop.html
Perhaps, so many qualified users that receive the airdrop, I'd just wonder how much they possibly get or if the amount is worth enough? I guess we don't think about $100 each. I'm not sure but the Metamask will never spend huge amount for free.

Obviously, not all wallets will receive airdrop from MetaMask. Some criteria will be introduced to receive an airdrop, such as the total volume of trade or the date of registration of the wallet. But in any case, do not expect that the airdrop from MetaMask will be comparable to the airdrop from Uniswap, 1inch or dYdX.

It's very worrisome that many scammers and developers will get a big chunk of the airdrop, scammers have a huge turnover and so are developers and of course, whales will also get the big share, I think the date of registration is better but not the turnover, equal distribution is something the community is looking forward, I hope they can implement a better method that will satisfy the whole community, majority of Crypto investors are Metamask users.

Yes, the airdrop now is different from the past, so don't ever compare it,
maybe in the past all wallets would accept it but if speaking at this time I agree with you it depends on the criteria,
what is clear is that we don't have to have high expectations about the Metamask airdrop and we'd better see the information later

No more information about this airdrop. This airdrop seems still a speculation by so many people , I must also remind you about the strict requirements for the airdrop. In my opinion if people are hooping too much about this airdrop but that's a usual thing as people are also know that if metamask as the best web wallet.

No information about this. You can only still believe if there will be an airdrop from metamask but this doesn't mean if you can expect ETA for this airdrop to come soon.

I will be surprised if Metamask airdrop is as big as Uniswap because we have so many Metamask users and also its so easy to create multiple Metamask ETH addresses, they will give away millions to some users, another thing is this airdrop might never happen.

IMO, If we take into consideration the Metamask airdrop is highly possible but it is not like the way as Uniswap airdrop was executed, because based on the article they don't want to give such airdrop benefits to those so-called airdrop farmers so I guess it's not that easy to get any Metamask token through airdrop without any stricter condition so let us wait if this Metamask airdrop will push through.

Indeed, the current Metamask users are quite high, 30k users are counted from active users. The mainet system is currently available on the metamask platform. This makes it easier for blockchain developers to work with Metamask. Connection with a decentralized platform also makes Metamask more active compared to other platforms.
If Metamask develops a coin even with much lower transaction fees than others, then Metamask coin will become the target of investors.

This airdrop will be very big . In previous Dydave their Dex users a very good profit. Criteria of Metamask will be not easy for everyone. May be they ask for 5 minimum swap on Etherum network and total volume 1k+. Many users swap token in December just for airdrop but majority of users used Bsc or Polygon chain. I am waiting for two potential airdops Metamask and Opensea

I think not everyone will be eligible for Metamask airdrop. It is written on the news:
"MetaMask could be seeking to reward legitimate, longtime users. If that’s you, perhaps you already qualify for a future airdrop"
That means the airdrop is for only real users of metamask, this is really good because bots and airdrop farmers can't participate.

It will be interesting to see this airdrop, I hope it won't turn out like the recent expected airdrop, when the party was ruined by bots. Considering the fact that MetaMask is a very popular wallet and many people used it at different times, in order to make this airdrop good, the creators should either choose a very early period of wallet usage to generously reward early users or the airdrop will be very large (because of its popularity) and the airdrop will be very scarce. You can not hope for Uniswap airdrop, it is unlikely that this airdrop will be more than $50 in their tokens.
