What is the project, and how can you take part?
Status as of October 2026: MetaMask's Help Center says Season 1 has ended and there are no concrete plans for future seasons. The program now runs mainly through time-limited campaigns, alongside ongoing rewards and one-time benefits. MetaMask also states that MetaMask Rewards is not the same thing as $MASK, and that there are no plans for a $MASK token.
The campaigns MetaMask has published are mostly trading competitions. A perpetual futures competition and the Ondo tokenized-asset challenge, both run in May and June 2026, required capital, ranked participants by results, and split the prize pool among a small number of top traders. This is not an airdrop you collect by installing a wallet.
If you already use MetaMask for swaps or the MetaMask Card, the ongoing rewards may be worth a look. Opening leveraged positions or buying unfamiliar assets just to join a campaign usually carries more risk than the reward is worth. For the wallet itself, see the MetaMask overview.
A good starting point if
People who already use MetaMask for swaps, trading or the MetaMask Card and can accept the risks of a trading competition.
Think it through first
Opening leveraged positions or buying unfamiliar assets just for a campaign usually carries more risk than the reward is worth, and only a few participants win a trading competition.
What it takes
01Trading capital and price risk
You can lose principal
What to consider
Trading competitions rank by results, and losses are not offset by rewards. In the June 2026 perpetual futures competition, entrants needed at least $25,000 of notional volume during the campaign, ranking used realized profit and loss, and only the top 20 shared the prize pool. Notional volume includes leverage: $1,000 of margin at 10x is $10,000 of notional value.
02Fees, gas and slippage
Every trade costs something
What to consider
Swaps and trades incur platform fees, network gas and slippage. Trading back and forth to build volume makes these costs add up quickly.
03Holding rules and asset limits
Some campaigns require holding
What to consider
The Ondo tokenized-asset challenge in May and June 2026, for example, required swapping from a stablecoin into eligible tokenized assets on Ethereum or BSC and holding for at least 10 days through the final snapshot, with tiers at $100, $5,000 and $20,000 deposited. Asset prices move while you hold.
Before you start: a short checklist
MetaMask Mobile: joining Rewards and tracking progress require the mobile app. Trades made on the browser extension with the same account still count toward campaigns you have joined.
A location that meets the eligibility rules of the specific campaign; these differ by campaign.
The ability to bear the capital and price risk of a trading competition. Some campaigns set a minimum trading volume or deposit.
How to participate, step by step
- 01
Install or update MetaMask Mobile
Download the mobile app from MetaMask's website. Do not install apps forwarded in chats or ads.
Read step instructions
- 02
Join Rewards
Open Rewards in the app, tap Join Rewards and accept the general terms. Joining Rewards does not enroll you in any campaign.
- 03
Read and join campaigns one by one
Campaigns lists active, past and upcoming campaigns. Each has its own timeline, eligibility, scoring and terms, and you must opt in to each one. Trades made before you join a campaign do not count.
- 04
Link accounts if you use several
The settings in the top corner of Rewards let you link several accounts and combine progress. How much a referral code earns depends on each campaign.
- 05
Track progress and claim
Progress is visible only in the mobile app. When a campaign ends, winners are notified on the Rewards tab or by in-app notification; follow its instructions to claim.
Reward rules and eligibility
Each campaign publishes its own prize pool, eligibility and rules, and the campaign page in MetaMask Mobile is the official source. Trading competitions rank participants by profit or rate of return, and only those near the top win. Winners must provide tax information, and Consensys withholds tax where the law requires. MetaMask says there are no plans for a $MASK token; this page does not predict any airdrop.
How can you check your records after completing tasks?
- Go by the rules in the app
- MetaMask says the campaign rules in MetaMask Mobile are the official source of truth. Help Center articles can lag behind: the two campaigns one of them lists had already ended in June 2026.
- Open benefit links only from the app
- Most one-time benefits send you to a partner's website to claim, and MetaMask advises following only the official links in the app. Treat "MetaMask airdrop claim" pages from DMs, chats or search ads as phishing.
- Confirm your region qualifies
- Each campaign has its own geographic eligibility. The perpetual futures competition, for instance, followed the eligibility of MetaMask Perps through Hyperliquid. The app tells you if your region is not eligible when you open a campaign.
Common participation questions
Will there be a Season 2 of MetaMask Rewards?
MetaMask's Help Center says Season 1 has ended and there are no concrete plans for future seasons. The program focuses on campaigns instead, and several may run at once. Past participation in Season 1 or campaigns may or may not be considered for future incentives.
Is MetaMask Rewards the same as a $MASK token?
No. MetaMask says Rewards partners with sponsors to reward things you already do, and that there are no plans for a $MASK token. Predictions about a "MASK airdrop" online are not official information.
Do trades on the browser extension count?
Yes, if they are made with the same account you have opted in to Rewards and to the campaign. Progress, however, can only be viewed in the mobile app.
Does skipping a campaign affect future ones?
MetaMask says campaigns are separate from each other, so skipping one does not affect your participation in others.
Can I still get Season 1 rewards if I join now?
No. Season 1 ran from October 2025 to January 2026 and distributed more than $30 million in LINEA tokens along with other perks. Joining now does not count toward it.
