“We have a short and medium term plan/strategy. It involves protocolization of our current products and other initiatives. And Web3 protocols need tokens. First out of the gate will be LINEA. Soon. More to come on this. And they will all be synergistic with one another.” 🤝
While many in the crypto community have been eagerly speculating about a MetaMask token airdrop, Lubin clarified that the company’s tokenization efforts are part of a broader and more strategic vision. The focus is on “protocolization of current products,” which suggests a long-term Web3 infrastructure play involving multiple interconnected projects. 🌐
LINEA, the ConsenSys-backed zkEVM Layer 2 network, will be the first protocol to launch a native token. According to Lubin, the token launch is expected “soon.” 🕒
The big question remains: Will MetaMask ever have its own token? Lubin didn’t give a clear yes or no, but his mention of “protocolization” hints that if MetaMask eventually becomes more like a protocol or connects closely with other token-based platforms, a token could be on the horizon. 🌟
What’s clear from his response is that several new projects under ConsenSys will be launching their own tokens. Each one will play a part in the larger Web3 ecosystem the company is creating around Ethereum. 🌱
