The cryptocurrency community anticipates an airdrop from MetaMask despite issues with the platform. Joseph Lubin is actively discussing the future of tokens.
Community Hopes for Airdrop
Members of the crypto community, especially those who got involved during MetaMask's early days, are still expecting a token airdrop. Some users have even stopped using the wallet due to various issues that have arisen with the platform. However, new hopes emerged recently when Joseph Lubin, the founder of ConsenSys, which manages MetaMask, hinted at a potential token launch for its Web3 protocols.
Plans for Product Protocolization
Lubin stated that there is a 'short and medium term plan/strategy' in place that involves the protocolization of current products and other initiatives. He emphasized that Web3 protocols need tokens, and the first to launch will be the token for the LINEA protocol, which will be integrated with future tokens.
Next Protocol After LINEA
After the announcement of LINEA, users began speculating about the next protocol. Lubin responded that it is likely that the next one will be the Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN), which extends the capabilities of Infura. He described DIN as a 'dial tone' for the decentralized protocol ecosystem that will help MetaMask scale and service more protocols.
The switches and protocols that will become part of MetaMask's future bring new hopes to the community. Expectations around the airdrop and tokenization generate increased interest in the platform.
