MetaMask's points season ended in LINEA allocations. It has "no plans" for a MASK token
MetaMask Rewards Season 1, from October 28, 2025, to January 23, 2026, gave users above 1,000 points a LINEA allocation. LINEA now trades about 28% below its price on February 23, when MetaMask said the claim window had closed, and the help center says there is no $MASK token plan and no next season, only short campaigns paid in mUSD.
Key points
- MetaMask's help center now says there are no plans for a $MASK token, that Season 1 has ended, and that no concrete plan exists for another season.
- Season 1 ran from October 28, 2025, to January 23, 2026; users above 1,000 points earned a LINEA allocation in proportion to their points. MetaMask said on February 23, 2026, that the claim window had closed.
- MetaMask has not published the LINEA pool size or how many wallets claimed. CoinGecko showed LINEA at $0.002289 at 8:44 p.m. ET on November 2, about 28% below its $0.003185 close on February 23.
What MetaMask says now
MetaMask, the self-custody crypto wallet, launched a points program called MetaMask Rewards in late 2025. The wallet's help center now answers that directly. Asked whether MetaMask Rewards is the same thing as $MASK, it says no, and that there are "no plans for a $MASK token" at this time.
The same page says Season 1 is over and that MetaMask has no concrete plan for another season. MetaMask Rewards is now built around campaigns: short, one-time incentives with their own rules and regions. It adds that past participation in Season 1 or in campaigns might, or might not, be considered for future incentives.
So for anyone who farmed MetaMask expecting a MASK airdrop, the official status is: no token, no snapshot, no claim.
How Season 1 worked
MetaMask's Rewards launch post laid out the points system. Season 1 ran from October 28, 2025, to January 23, 2026. Points came from trading volume and spending, and moved users up seven levels:
- Swaps: 8 points per $10 swapped.
- Perpetual futures (perps): 1 point per $10 traded.
- Prediction markets: 2 points per $1 traded.
- MetaMask Card: 1 point per $1 spent.
- Referrals: 10 points for every 50 points a referred user earned by trading.
- Past activity: 250 points per $1,250 of earlier swaps and bridges, capped at 50,000 points.
Partnerships added fuel. OpenSea users got a 500-point boost with a referral code, plus 100 to 1,000 extra points depending on their OpenSea reward tier.
The top prize tiers were concrete. Above 1,000 points (level 2, Frontier), users earned a LINEA allocation in proportion to their total points, claimable after the season. Higher levels added points boosts, perps fee discounts of 50% and 65%, and, above 5 million points, a free MetaMask Metal Card for a year. LINEA is the token of Linea, which CoinGecko describes as an Ethereum layer 2 network.

What was paid, and what it is worth now
MetaMask has not published the size of the LINEA pool, the number of tokens claimed, or how many wallets qualified. Its launch post was updated on February 23, 2026, to say Season 1 had ended and the claim window was closed.
The value of those allocations has fallen. LINEA closed at $0.003185 on February 23, according to CoinGecko's historical data. At 8:44 p.m. ET on November 2, CoinGecko showed LINEA at $0.002289, a drop of about 28%, with a $56.1 million market cap, and 24.53 billion tokens circulating out of a 72.01 billion maximum. By our arithmetic, a LINEA allocation worth $100 at the February 23 close was worth about $72 on the evening of November 2.
From seasons to campaigns
MetaMask relaunched Rewards on May 6, 2026, with trading challenges, airdrops and a Benefits tab, powered by theMiracle, that shows partner perks based on what is in a user's wallet. At the relaunch, the post pointed users to benefits from Pudgy Penguins and Claynosaurz.
Recent campaigns pay in mUSD, MetaMask's dollar stablecoin:
- Money Sweepstakes (September 17 to October 15, 2026): up to $20,000 mUSD over four weekly draws for users who deposited at least $100 mUSD into a Money Account. Residents of the UK, New York and Florida were excluded.
- Perps Trading Competition (October 29 at 9 a.m. ET to November 12, 2026, at 9 a.m. ET): up to $100,000 mUSD for the top 30 traders by realized profit on MetaMask Perps, which runs on Hyperliquid. Entrants need $10,000 of notional volume (the full size of their trades), and first place gets up to $20,000.
The help center also lists a 3% bonus for converting stablecoins into mUSD and 3% money back on the MetaMask Metal Card.

Risks
- Fake MASK claims. By MetaMask's own FAQ there is no MASK token plan, so any "MASK airdrop" site is a scam. Never connect a wallet from a link in a DM or a reply.
- Region limits. Each campaign has its own eligible regions, and some exclude US states and the UK.
- Leverage. The perps competition ranks realized profit on leveraged trades, where losses can build quickly.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think MetaMask has quietly closed the biggest airdrop expectation in wallets. Its points program drove volume to its swaps, perps and card, and the reward came in LINEA, not in a MetaMask token.
- The cost of that design fell on recipients. LINEA lost about 28% between February 23, when MetaMask said the claim had closed, and November 2, and MetaMask never published the pool size or claim counts. Without those numbers, users cannot judge what their points were worth.
- The shift to small, dollar-paid campaigns is cleaner. Prize pools of $20,000 and $100,000 are fixed and easy to value. But they are far smaller incentives, and MetaMask's line that past activity might or might not count keeps farmers guessing.
What's next
- Perps Trading Competition results after November 12
- Any change to the $MASK answer in MetaMask's help center
- New Rewards campaigns and their eligible regions
- LINEA unlocks, with 24.53 billion of 72.01 billion tokens circulating
