MetaMask Launches $30M Linea Rewards Program With Future Token Integration

MetaMask has officially announced a groundbreaking $30 million onchain rewards program using Linea tokens, directly linking to the platform's anticipated future token. The wallet provider confirmed the initiative through social media channels, describing it as "one of the largest onchain rewards programs ever created" while emphasizing it represents a genuine user reward system rather than typical yield farming. Participants can earn through multiple channels including referral bonuses, mUSD stablecoin incentives, exclusive partner rewards, and priority token access. Long-term MetaMask users will receive special recognition in the program, with the team explicitly stating "OGs will not be ignored" regarding allocation benefits for early adopters. The program strategically connects Consensys' Ethereum layer-2 network Linea with MetaMask's extensive user base, utilizing the wallet's market reach to drive adoption of the new rollup solution. With mUSD stablecoin integration and cross-platform incentives, MetaMask aims to create comprehensive ecosystem engagement across wallet services, stablecoin usage, and layer-2 infrastructure. While the program promises significant user benefits, MetaMask has yet to clarify geographical restrictions or anti-Sybil measures to prevent farming exploitation.
