Season 1 rewarded activity with LINEA tokens — Linea is the Ethereum L2 built by Consensys, MetaMask's parent company. The Season 1 payout strongly suggests that MetaMask Rewards is a long-term loyalty program designed to tie users to the Consensys ecosystem ahead of a potential MASK token launch.
Does Season 2 Affect the MASK Token Airdrop?
No official statement connects MetaMask Rewards points directly to a future MASK token airdrop. However, MetaMask Rewards is the only official on-chain scoring system Consensys has ever run, and the pattern closely mirrors how Arbitrum, Optimism, and Uniswap built their user databases before distributing tokens.
Analyst view: MetaMask Rewards is the most credible proxy for MASK token eligibility currently available. Users with high Season 2 point balances are the most likely recipients if Consensys launches a token. The Linea double-points rule further ties Rewards to the Consensys ecosystem — both Linea and MetaMask sit under the same parent company.
MetaMask Rewards Season 1 ended on January 23, 2026. The claim window for Season 1 LINEA token rewards closed on March 9–10, 2026. Season 1 distributed over $30 million in LINEA tokens to point earners.
How do I earn double points in MetaMask Rewards Season 2?
In MetaMask Rewards Season 2, all activity on the Linea network earns double points. This includes swaps, bridges, and DeFi interactions done through MetaMask on the Linea chain. To maximize, bridge ETH to Linea via MetaMask Bridge and swap weekly on Linea.
Do Season 1 MetaMask Rewards points carry over to Season 2?
Yes. MetaMask confirmed that Season 1 points carry over into Season 2. You do not lose accumulated points from Season 1 activity.
What was the Oct 15, 2025 MetaMask bonus cutoff?
Users who were active on MetaMask before October 15, 2025 were eligible for up to 50,000 bonus points in Season 1. This early user bonus is now closed, but Season 2 activity continues to accumulate points.
Will MetaMask Rewards points count toward the MASK token airdrop?
No official confirmation exists. However, MetaMask Rewards is the only official points program run by Consensys, and most analysts believe it is the scoring system that will determine MASK token allocations when the token eventually launches. Farming Rewards points is the safest hedge available.
