Yes, a rewards program is on the way. 👀

Any of the details you've previously seen/heard are not indicative of what is to actually launch. Let's talk a little bit about what the actual MetaMask Rewards program WILL be.

Three major products are connected in series at once: Linea, mUSD, MASK

Overall, these 30 million US dollars are not just token numbers, but the strategic rhythm of ConsenSys to integrate assets, payment and governance. The subsequent results will directly affect the popularity of Linea network, affect the demand for mUSD, and lay out the community framework for the launch of MASK.

• Linea:As the protagonist of rewards, tokens are issued directly to encourage users to keep transactions and interactions on the Linea network.
• mUSD: mUSD is issued by Bridge, a company owned by Stripe. In this plan, mUSD will be combined with a points mechanism to promote transaction circulation within the ecosystem, and may also be integrated with MetaMask Card in the future.
• MASK: Although details have not yet been announced, ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin has confirmed the token plan during an interview. The outside world generally regards this reward as a warm-up action before the launch of MASK, using dynamic points and token allocation to pre-deposit an active governance community.
