I heard that The existence of Metamask token has been verified by Joe Lubin, the founder of Consensys, the company that owns Metamask..

Any resource that you could put out on this one? If MetaMask were to give out airdrops to everyone who has activated or something, I think it would be already accepted everywhere, but the value of it might not be as high as you want it to be.

Metamask has already confirmed the launch of its own token - https://decrypt.co/95039/metamask-consensys-30-million-users, respectively, the community expects airdrop. Since there has not been a free distribution of tokens from Metamask, so there is still time to perform a swap inside the wallet and use the official bridge - https://portfolio.metamask.io/bridge to be eligible for airdrop.

There are rumors about a possible introduction of a metamask tokens for many many months now. In order to maybe qualify for that airdrop i used the swap function of metamask for the wallets that i am using. I would guess that you need to use that function in order to be eligible to receive those tokens. I don't know though, that is just a feeling. That being said it is not officially confirmed yet if there will be a metamask token at all.
If there will be a token airdrop then it really can be the biggest airdrop ever. That also means though that you should not expect to get a significant amount of money with that airdrop. There are just two many people that will receive it and will immediately sell their tokens.

It's just a rumor.

However, people are speculated everytime there has somethings like this you need to do (Swap & Bridge) token from Metamask. So, basically is just a guess and hoping from the community.

Another speculation from all community crypto, minimum swap or bridge at least up to 1,000$.

The speculations have been on, I even did use their swap on multiple occasion using the Matic, BSC chains, ERC20 option was very expensive then. Rumor has it that they could equally airdropped to gitcoin donors, just sepeculation though.You know this space anything is possibe

We'll see...  People have been discussing this for a long long time.  The big problem for me is how would they know who has even used Metamask vs other wallets?  That leads to them likely airdropping their tokens to users who have used their token swap function, which I doubt many people even use because there are better options available.  This likely means that people who are playing games to get more airdropped tokens likely will, and the rest of the metamask users will be left in the cold wondering why they've supported a wallet for years who just skipped over them with their airdrop.  Maybe they have better methods of identifying users that I'm not aware of, but I think this is going to be a disaster and more of their users will be pissed off they got skipped for the airdrop than users who are happy with what they received.

It seems that there is in fact an ongoing Metamask Airdrop on ICODrops (https://icodrops.com/metamask/)

Users need to enable swap function on the metamask wallet to be eligible for the Airdrop,

Can't say that the ICO is set to be started soon, as it still doesn't have any data on the upcoming ICO.

I heard this rumor early this year, but still no Airdrop yet.
There’s nothing to lose if you will just try and use their platform just for the benefit of this airdrop rumor, maybe this will be the biggest Airdrop for this year or maybe next year. If you have extra funds or using metamask for quiet some time now, you already have that assurance. Airdrop will still depend on their value though, let’s see if Metamask will still push this through.

Who knows up to what date we can make a swap?At now on to their bridge and I see this inscription: We are currently under maintenance.
I've seen the news about the drop before,but it's been a long time,so there are doubts about this time, to be honest.

Please take a look at the comments below data provided by icodrop. it has been 2 years since that recommendation by icodrop about metamask airdrop already made. It has been very long time but it's not yet even confirmed whether metamask will launch airdrop or not. The requirements have not yet known and this actually depends on the so many factors not only swap your token.
There's no confirmation about this yet it might be one of requirement if airdrop gonna be real.
There will be no ico related with MM

There has been talk about Metamask's own token for a long time and many users are waiting for a good retrodrop, though I think it will be modest and won't get many coins. In all likelihood the launch of this token will not take place in the near future, because the environment for such things is extremely unfavorable right now. Most likely, the official announcement and launch of the token will take place after the end of the bearish trend, when the industry will once again see an influx of cash from various investors.

how do you say biggest ? while this is still a rumour, there is no detailed data about this airdrop yet
and to do a swap at this time it's quite expensive, I think but it's not wrong to try it,

If the swap is that high then not everyone can participate in this airdrop, I just read this airdrop here in this thread why it's not
 covered by big media outlets dedicated to Crypto it should be a big event or news in the community, but it turn out to be speculation I visited the bridge page of metamask, and it's under maintenance,theres been a lot of airdrop that turn out to be worthless this one hopefully will materialize because of the potential.

Why ? is always based on volume swap or trading you're doing?

You can do with balance 50 or 100$ and just doing it 10x times transaction, how much transaction are gonna to cost ? Metamask support a lot network, so you can spend for transaction under 1$.

It's easy.

Considering that the number of active Metamask users is now about 40 million, then, accordingly, if the airdrop is distributed to all participants, then the number of coins that will be distributed will be too small. But obviously Metamask will not reward all participants, introducing many restrictions that may even include the date when you used this wallet for the first time.

Well, after reading the news from some sources, one of them is here:
https://cryptonews.net/news/altcoins/16226325/
It may be true that they make the news. However, they still don't give the explanation in detail, so we need to wait for more time. However, what I am thinking here is about what we need to prepare for the Metamask airdrop. If this really true, There are several ways to prepare to join the metamask airdrops. But, when reading some probabilities to get the rewards by doing some preparations and ways may be too complex. However, we need to do swapping on Metamask, use Metamask Bridge, create a Gnosis Safe wallet, donate via Gitcoin, and also Sign up for Infura. Although that may be not clear enough if we must do them all, the news said that doing those activities may increase your chance to get the rewards. Well, this is too much and seems like promoting their products and features.

Great another token whoop dee do.  At what point do these tokens/coins come out just immediately just drop.  No innovation or nothing.  But as always greed will drive all these companies to just tokenize themselves.

Metamask have different type of project which most step scam while the only real and legit one is hidden from most people inother to avoid scams. I was into one of the scammed projects,  Metamask is mostly a scam projects because last year, I had billions quantities of metamask in my trust wallet but it's worth over millions, it's an airdrop which many people participated, but it wasn't withdrawable. They gave us date that it will be distributed according to our batch and section, but I guess they were wrong.  We waited for the lunch date nothing happened because the population was much and the team behind the project couldn't manage to risk.

Metamask launching their own token is good news because it is a popular wallet if they launch their token it will no doubt be a very popular coin among the crowd but the airdrop they launch not everyone will be able to join from their platform.  Only those who have used the bridge and have been doing large transactions on Metamask for a long time will be eligible for this airdrop and will get the rewards in the form of a percentage.

I have listened to these rumors many times, and therefore even if there is a distribution, it will not be profitable because the market has absorbed that liquidity before, the more liquidity, the lower the profit.
Also, the current market situation is not good for such distributions, and it will not achieve more liquidity for the development of the platform.
Even if they happen, the requirements will be difficult, and most users may not meet these conditions.

I saw this bridge
https://portfolio.metamask.io/bridge
This is not a bridge, but an aggregator of exchangers, because they offer me to make a swap through Hop exchange or Celer.

Very few exchange directions compared to my favorite service
https://app.rango.exchange/swap
Here I have a transaction stuck due to my fault and the admin in the telegram solved the problem in a few minutes.

are you sure Metamask will provide airdrops for its users? not all wallets give their tokens for free, so don't get your hopes up,
 and there is no info about the airdrop or event they will be holding yet

I think the real take away from a development like this is that blockchain technology is becoming more available to the everyday person, and that's a very positive step. It means that cryptocurrencies might be easier to handle on an individual basis for the foreseeable future. There are many applications for blockchain technology outside of investment and digital currency, like identity verification. MetaMask is just one of the first step in a bigger journey towards widespread adoption of this technology.

If it's an Airdrop, of course it doesn't guarantee that it really pays, but if you pay then you're safe. There have been many rumors about the Metamask airdrop and these rumors have only been speculations for a long time. However, it doesn't hurt to try if you have enough balance to interact with the new Metamask feature. I think it's simple, if you are really interested, try several transactions using the BSC or Polygon network because the fees are affordable. After all, you're only charged swap fees and bridge fees. If the rumors turn out to be true then you could have a chance. We can't all guarantee 100%, but when it comes to the potential for Metamask to launch its own token it's definitely good news for users who have interacted.

I've heard the rumor that metamask will be doing an airdrop when they release their token, I've heard during the bull run where there are so many speculations on possible project airdrops and I've seen that metamask is the one that everybody is anticipating. I believe that it is not confirmed yet by any officials but many are believing that those who made swaps on metamask will be eligible for the airdrop. As a popular wallet, Everyone wants to be part of it's airdrop. Though we still can't say when will be they launching their own token.

I read in the following article that indeed Joe Lubin has hinted on several occasions that there is a token in the works, but it really just hints only and no reliable source has confirmed the existence of a possible airdrop for Metamask beforehand, you should take the news from the official social media of Metamask and beware of Scammers, I believe that people who will Swap Tokens on MetaMask or use the MetaMask Bridge and some steps will be eligible to get Metamask airdrop in the future. If there really will be an airdrop for MetaMask, then in the future this airdrop will be very profitable for MetaMask users. Everything is possible, so let's not lose hope.

It has been around 2 years since the first rumout about metamask token was coming out after trend of airdrop token to the users triggered by uniswap. I have been hearing so many people were always talking about this BS since 2 years ago. Don't put your hope so much in this thing.
You may feel disappointed if metamask will never issue the token.  :D People are still even taking lubin as an indicator to speculate MM token.

Meh it seems like that so many people will always hope that to happen. Lubin was always making so much noise since 2 years ago. im stopping to hear anything from him.

Haha, you are right, media just trying to gain their web visitor with rewrite this rumor again. Let see this one.

https://cdn.consensys.net/uploads/2021/08/31141926/Users-Growth_EN_MetaMask.png
^{Source: https://consensys.net/blog/press-release/metamask-surpasses-10-million-maus-making-it-the-worlds-leading-non-custodial-crypto-wallet/}

From the statistic from Consensys above, they have more than 10 million active user, i know that day crypto getting hype with Memes and NFTs. Let say, the real active user is 5 million, so they wil not making an airdrop more than 50 tokens per account if their token hit USD 10 or more. It's mean maybe the airdrop for all active user will not worth. (this calculations just an imaginations). better to never waiting for this airdrop. if they are doing an airdrop just take it. don't wait for something just a rumor for more than 1 year.

You are right, this is aggregator of many exchangers. This bridge is still in beta phase and far from perfection. I also transferred funds from polygon to Ethereum chain. It took more than 15 minutes to complete the transaction which was more than what I had expected. You should have token worth $30 (minimum limit) to make transaction.

We don't know the criteria of airdrop & when it will happen, but I think we should continue using their bridge and swap to be eligible for airdrop.

Criteria is always you're doing an activity on "Metamask", try to do all of them.

However, the big question and mystery is always volume transactions. Do they have volume transaction requirement or not, here a few things about this airdrop.
- Only transaction in "Metamask" for qualified airdrop without need some volume.
- Transaction in "Metamask" with volume requirement, the user will gonna get a token depends the volume of trading he was doing on Metamask. More volume $ you do the activity, there has some potential you can get more token.

Just do activity with minimum 1,000$ volume mate.

When it eventually happens, it will no doubt be the biggest airdrop so far, although it is still very on clear what the criteria will be to be eligible.
It has been quite some time since the news about a possible metamask airdrop was announced but so far nothing has happened yet, I keep using the wallet regardless of whether an airdrop or not, metamask is an easy wallet that supports different chains so it will be the popular choice for the majority.

The news doesn't guarantee an airdrop it is just the list to do to possibly qualify for an airdrop if Metamask decides to launch one.  After all the article all they have is just assumption and rumors.  So in short, there is no assurance whether Metamask will have an airdrop .  All these things at the moment is just speculation, but I think it is better to have the possible requirement fulfilled.  I am sure if Metamask decided to have an airdrop, it is grander than the uniswap airdrop.

Your analysis seems realistic & convincing that if ever they make airdrop, it won't be fortune changing event for those who receive it. There is another possibility that they will design the criteria in a way that not all active users will be eligible. For example, only those users will be eligible who made transaction on Ethereum network worth $5k & above or who paid transaction fee at least 1 Ethereum. Whatever comes out of the bag, but I think this time they are serious to launch their own token because their competitor Trust wallet has done so successfully, and investors are moving their funds to decentralized exchanges after the collapse of FTX. DYOR 

METAMASK has been with me for many years. I am always attracted by the rotating head of the little fox, and I always feel that he is smiling at me. There is no doubt that the power of the METAMASK community is strong. Full of endless expectations.

well i hope the airdrop will like uniswap or Ens worth of couple hundred dollar  :)

This rumor is already aged. For me, if this will happen, for sure the worth of their airdrop is not that really huge, like the total amount of it in $ per person that got the airdrop.
And even though there will be an airdrop, for me, there will be some qualifications, not all metamask users will able to get the airdrop.
Metamask is the #1 wallet for Ethereum and other chains right now, so expect that this airdrop is gonna be huge and that will be a challenge for them.

Just why not definitely Metamask is the big platform and big platform always bring the big airdrop every Decenterlized exchange in the past give us good profit and in the case of metamask it is also trustfull and old project just hoping it will be same as Aptos and ENS personally i am expecting around 1000$ to 2000$ from their native mask token Their Active users is Keep increasing and it's everyone priority to use interesting to see the supply

You are using too old data for your calculations. In March 2022, Consensus reported that MetaMask has over 30 million monthly active users - https://decrypt.co/95039/metamask-consensys-30-million-users And given the increased interest in cryptocurrency among the population, it can be assumed that now the number of active users has increased to 40 million. So based on such a number of users, there must be strict requirements for obtaining an airdrop, otherwise its cost will be very small.

Airdrop doesn't make people rich. I have not been rewarded several times in various projects, although my wallet has hundreds of transactions and I have more activity than other users who have received rewards. I don't believe in airdrop honesty. These are free testers for the project.

don't expect more for an airdrop, it's just luck, unless they justify giving assignments to get airdrop rewards and the distribution date is announced, it's different for airdrops like uniswap, aptos or others that suddenly without any notification it's just luck if you get

  - Really? as far as I know, it's different from hearing from other people than you have evidence that you hold even though you didn't hear it but read it in a source link. Now, my question to you OP, is there a reference here for what you are saying?

Because if you can't show a reference that supports what you're saying, it's just proof that you're gossip person or easily believe what other people say. I hope you don't get annoyed by what I said, I'm just telling the truth, because you know that in this forum platform you must have a source link or reference that you place to make the topic discussed here credible.

Please always cite the resource when you quote the information from the news, or if not, may I know where this information came from? Metamask airdrops have been anticipated for so long that we don't want any scammers or fraudsters to take us for granted. I believe, as you've stated in your title, that the Metamask token will be the biggest airdrop ever in the cryptosphere, and it will be massive because almost all of us have used Metamask before. I hope it can give us an oasis in the middle of the bad news we've been facing all this time.

I did some research on airdrops of 2021 and the details are as follows:

1- Uniswap    : upto 12,000 for some users

2- Paraswap : upto 18,000

3- ENS        : upto 20,000

4- DYDX      : The airdrop was valued from $4,414 to $135,692

The worth of  airdrop was valued at high price of the day,  when tokens were distributed.

The Metask is even bigger than these platforms so it can be life changing event for many. Let's hope that this event brings some joy in our life.


https://www.cointrust.com/market-news/dydx-exchange-unveils-governance-token-with-airdrop-worth-100k

I doubt this Airdrop will happen because the team said they don't plan on giving out free money some months ago, even if they have a change of mind the reward will be low and limited, not everyone will get it .

I have given up on airdrops because out of over 100 transactions for airdrops in my wallet only very few paid and the reward is not that great. Uniswap and 1inch was life changing for some but not me.

Even if the airdrop will be real and then allocation for airdrop will be limited. There might be also tokenomic for that. People are always speculating metamask caused by they always wanna get free money and this is also their way to get money for free from speculating possibility of MM airdrop to happen.

Airdrop is having a big risk to not get paid or your reward would be useless token. IMO wasting our time in airdrop would become a stupid decision. Remember that how many tokens you will receive from airdrop actually depends on how intense your activity in the platform.

It is good to hear that, but unless we, the members of bitcointalk see a source of this information, your post remains fiction, I suggest that it may help the community if you put the source or any kind of link to validate your post in here.

Thanks

We also have the same belief in that matter, sometimes I think it's just luck like what happened with Uniswap, and after those events, I haven't seen any airdrops that came out and paid as uniswap did.

Almost the airdrops today that are given out if someone pays to have no value in the market, what's even worse is that sometimes the amount you receive is so small that we bounty hunters are still begging and asking when they will give the rewards to the needy. that amount.

Also, if in bounty campaigns there are very few people who pay bounty hunters, how much more in airdrops, right?

Airdrop forms such as telegram tasks, social media spam are no longer available because they are not effective and the rewards are not worth it. Today's airdrop programs require you to experience their products, some even take investors' opinions, so the rewards of those projects are very high. In addition to uniswap there is also Parawap, DXDY...@Sayeds56 listed above, or most recently project Aptos, the lowest participant is also rewarded with $1.5k. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just because you don't make money from it doesn't mean others can't either.

airdrop like aptos, uniswap just as a surprise, no advance notification so no one cares, if they announce it earlier so many people will feel the airdrop rewards, I don't understand what their purpose is to hold an airdrop suddenly

True,

They don't announce their airdrops because they know airdrop hunters will jump in (probably with multiple wallets) And they don't want that, they only want to reward people who use their platform without any greed of reward.

I don't know if there is any definite information, but I think there is no official statement at the moment. But even if there is any airdrop, I think they will give it to those who perform trades on their own networks. Since this information has spread, they may also limit it to a specific date. Or I think they will provide airdrop to wallets opened before a certain date.

Well, there are lots of airdrops happening on the telegram though most of them are just to fish you details by requiring someone to do KYC, while others give a minuscule amount, in rare occasions airdrop gives hundred to thousand of dollars.


Well, better to avoid such kind of airdrop especially when the project is somehow shady.  More often than not they are just in for free marketing and won't bother giving you the airdrop tokens they promised.


That is why be selective on the airdrop you want to participate.  There are lots of scam airdrop out there especially in telegram.  Always verify the airdrop in their main telegram channel to at least save you from non-paying efforts.

That's exactly what they want. It's not a surprise, that those projects don't want cheaters to join their campaign, they need people who really want to experience their product and give the best feedback for them to improve their product. I like such airdrops because it will become fairer, cheaters won't want to participate because they can't be sure if it will reward or not.
Although they do not give notice, but if we analyze and monitor, we can guess whether they will give out the reward or not?

Before that, Aptos was a project that was 100% confirmed to have an airdrop, but a lot of people didn't believe it and thought it had no value, so a lot of people ignored it. And now we have zksync, StarkNet and Sui, Sui has stated many times that there will be no airdrop but is that true? That will be a difficult problem for cheaters.

You can find that in so many articles published in medium or press site like coindesk. I guess twitter might be even better source to get any rumour about that. icodrop has been also listing it since 2 years ago. The only problem is people are hoping too much with the airdrop from metamask. i guess it caused by the free money they can get when we are still in the most difficult situation like this. I personally think any airdrop will not come especially metamask airdrop.
Metamask itself has been getting so many investors and that may enough to be used as operational cost for the development of wallet. Governance token may possible to come but there's no ETA for that.
Speculating this token is also wasting our time so much.,

Many hope that metamask will share airdrops with its users, various assumptions to get metamask airdrops appear, but the most important thing is to swap, bridge and grant gitcoin through a metamask account.

@CryptoYar answered your question. And I want to tell you that it wasn't a sudden decision they all planned, they just didn't want to announce it anytime soon. You know, a lot of people are cheating these days, and this affects the quality of their campaign, so to stop the cheaters, they won't give notice in the first place and their purpose is to find users who really want to use their product, not to get rewards. This is a pretty clever way to do it and the rewards are well worth it.

The airdrops you specified were intended for those who used the test network, as well as for the test network validators. Unlike these airdrops, the airdrop from Metamask will obviously be distributed among the early participants of this wallet. But the criteria based on which the distribution of free coins among Metamask users will be made are still unknown.

In this case i said that Metamask  is a very great project hopefully they launch there token soon  and they confirmed Chance is that they give him Airdrop its a big Airdrop and they easily give him alot profit.
If you want to participate this Airdrop so kindly follow there terms and conditions.
So according to my experience is that everyone join and perform a task which you have need to eligible for reward its a very strong project.

Yes it is, I'm very much excited for their airdrop, as their MM Token will be launching soon, and I hope everyone will be enjoying the biggest airdrop of Metamask, I had already completed some of the criteria through which may be I'm eligible for the airdrop in the future, that will give me further benefit as well.

I think this is the reason why have are being scammed. They are quick to believe such rumors when there's no official announcement being done.
The scammers are taking advantage of the situation for which it is making the victims gullible that there will be airdrops from the official company even if there are none, so they make it for themselves. For all, before you believe that there's one, make your research and see if there's really one being done by them.

If the token has been launched and also planning to run airdrop my little advise is that since is extension many users might fall prey where there would be phishing and fake token to steal from people using the medium of wallet connection.
Having their own personal token really a good idea and great step to start with.
