His co -founder, Dan Finlay, made it clear that the creation of a native token is still an unconfirmed possibility, and that any official announcement will be made exclusively from the company’s own application or the website, as indicated by several media.

For years the expectation of a possible token called Mask However, MetamSk insists that For now there is no asset of such approved or distribution. The company also emphasized that it is not sending direct messages, emails or social networks on the subject.

Rumors and speculation: the breeding ground for scams

According to Finlay, one of the greatest dangers of speculation around a Token is that he opens the door to fraudulent scams and campaigns. “Speculation is the worst part of the rumor because it allows phishers to take advantage of users ”said.

The Executive explained that If an official token ever launched, the only way to find out would be through the purse MetamSk or the company’s website. He emphasized that the platform does not keep telephone numbers or emails, therefore, he does not make communications on those ways.

This approach seeks to prevent unleashed users from falling into common traps such as “Airdrops” false or links shared by unknown accounts. Finlay added that any initiative of this type will be duly announced by verified and visible means within the ecosystem MetamSk.

Was a low Trump launch safer?

In a striking turn, Finlay also commented that the political context could influence the viability of future releases. He said that “There is more security to launch tokens” Under a Trump administration, which suggests that more flexible regulations could facilitate this type of movements.

Although this does not imply a partisan posture, it reflects the perception that a less strict regulatory environment would favor progressive experimentation and decentralization, a goal previously declared by Consensys, the parent company of MetamSk.

The CEO of Consensys and co -founder of Ethereum, Joseph Lubin, had already flirted with the idea in 2021 with a tweet that said “Wen $ mask?”but so far nothing has been completed.

Past warnings and protection strategies

These warnings are not new. In March 2023, rumors also denied an alleged Airdrop. On that occasion, rumors seemed to be linked to informal conversation during the event ETHDENVER With Lubin himself.

The most recent scams include cases of “Address Poisoning”where transactions records are manipulated to deceive users to send funds to fraudulent addresses. Schemes have also been identified “Pig Butchering”, A social engineering technique in which the attackers build a relationship with the victim before cheating her.

One of the best known incidents was that of businessman Mark Cuban, who lost almost USD $ 870,000 after interacting with a compromised version of the Wallet MetamSk.

User experience focused

Beyond the topic of Token, the team of MetamSk He pointed out that he is focused on improving the user experience against emerging competitors such as Rainbow and Rabby Although they maintain a careful approach, they do not want to lose competitiveness in the face of other options that gain traction in the web3 ecosystem.

Finlay concluded with a reflection on the future: “Hopefully people take this opportunity to establish precedents … Maybe that unlocks the next fun season”. Even so, he acknowledged that there are still gray areas and recalled that the laws on values ​​remain in force regardless of who is in charge of the Sec.
