MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay said his team is considering launching a native token, although no concrete plan has been made yet. In a recent interview, Finlay revealed that launching a native token has long been part of its parent company Consensys’ plans to promote progressive decentralization. However, he cautioned users against relying on news that hasn’t been published on the MetaMask wallet interface, emphasizing that they stay vigilant.
Discussions about launching a potential native token have been ongoing since 2021. However, Finlay emphasized the importance of launching a token with real value, adding that MASK won’t be a driver for hype.
