How to position for a potential MetaMask Token
- Swap within MetaMask: Use the built-in MetaMask Swap feature to exchange tokens. Do this on different chains (Ethereum mainnet, maybe also BSC or Polygon as supported) and do it periodically. MetaMask charges a fee for swaps, so active swappers are likely to be valued if a token (sometimes dubbed "$MASK") is released.
- Use MetaMask’s Portfolio DApp: Visit portfolio.metamask.io and connect your wallet. From there, try the bridge aggregator to move assets between networks or use the stake feature for liquid staking tokens. Utilizing MetaMask’s own dApps beyond the core wallet showcases you as an engaged user of their ecosystem.
- Maintain Consistent Activity: Instead of doing one big swap and stopping, consider making MetaMask your default route for smaller swaps even if you could use a DEX directly. A pattern of regular swapping over months could be what differentiates “pro” users in any future token distribution. Pro Tip: MetaMask might not just airdrop blindly to all users. They could weight it toward those who have used advanced features or encountered significant fees (indicating volume). If you have multiple wallets, focusing on one to concentrate your swap volume might be wiser than spreading out. Also, ensure you’ve opted in to things like MetaMask Snaps or any beta features if you’re comfortable – early adopters of new MetaMask functionalities could earn brownie points. In short, treat MetaMask not just as a wallet but as an application you frequently use for trading and managing crypto, and you’ll be first in line if and when ConsenSys unveils a token.
