March 21, 2026 — In a landmark move for the decentralized finance ecosystem, the MetaMask Foundation has officially announced the launch of the $MASK token airdrop, marking the first-ever native token distribution by the world’s most popular Web3 wallet provider.

Millions of Wallets Eligible for $MASK Airdrop

The airdrop targets early adopters, long-term users, and active participants in the Ethereum and Layer 2 ecosystems. According to the Foundation, over 30 million wallet addresses have been snapshotted for eligibility based on historical on-chain activity, including swaps, bridges, and staking operations performed through MetaMask.

“This is a milestone moment for MetaMask and the broader Web3 community. The $MASK token represents governance, utility, and a reward for the users who believed in decentralized infrastructure from day one,” said the MetaMask Foundation in an official statement.
