Metamask - Wallet or Account?

[Wahyuihib]

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..

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!

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 .

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.

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.

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).

Right now Metamask haven’t their own native token how they will offering airdrop? It’s a mainly browser extension though they also launched mobile apps, here you can add a lot of eth addresses. Still i didn’t see any news Metamask announced about any airdrop or something like that.

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.
