MetaMask News: $30M LINEA Rewards Program Ignites User Engagement

MetaMask News Highlights Reward System Driving LINEA Network Growth

Have you ever wanted to earn tokens just by using your wallet? MetaMask news is buzzing about just that: the team is rolling out a “Ways to Earn” rewards feature that lets users collect points and later get LINEA tokens.

How the Rewards System Works

Under the new system, users will collect points based on their trading activity:

• Spot trades: 80 points for every $100

• Perpetual trades: 10 points for every $100

• Historical volume: 250 points per $1,250

A special twist: when you use the LINEA network, you will earn double points. This encourages users to bring more activity onto the network.

The code for this rewards system has already been merged into MetaMask’s main branch on GitHub about three weeks ago. That suggests the rollout is near.

MetaMask Confirms – But Warns of Misunderstandings

MetaMask later confirmed that the feature is real, but some of the rumors online were off. Some had claimed users would swap or bridge assets to get rewards, or that it would be a full yield-farming system. They clarified that this is more about community engagement than yield farming.

In an X post, MetaMask wrote: “Yes, an awards show is coming. But what you’ve heard or seen so far doesn’t necessarily align with what’s actually coming out.” So, while a full token airdrop isn’t guaranteed, the link to rewards and tokens is real.

$30 Million in LINEA Tokens for Season 1

The first phase, Season 1, will distribute over $30 million worth of LINEA tokens. The rewards program will include various ways to earn: referrals, mUSD bonus incentives, special partnership rewards, and early access perks.

They also plans to reward loyal users, giving special benefits to people who have used the wallet for a long time. That could mean earlier access or bonus rewards in the early days of the program.

Why LINEA Is Getting Attention

Because MetaMask rewards double points on LINEA, many users are now focusing their trading and bridging there. That boosts volume and energy around that network.

LINEA price surged about 2.31% in the past 24 hours, outperforming the broader crypto market. 

Volume surged by over 50%, hitting $244 million in daily trading. 

Analysts see this as a reaction to the MetaMask news and new interest in the token.

Moreover, large institutions are paying attention. SWIFT is running a pilot program using this token for cross-border payments with banks like BNP Paribas and JPMorgan. That adds legitimacy.

What This Means Going Forward

MetaMask’s $30 million rewards plan isn’t just a giveaway, it’s a way to shape how the wallet and network grow. 

By tying rewards to real user actions and focusing heavily on the network, MetaMask is making that network a hub of activity.

Traders, DeFi users, and airdrop hunters are already thinking about how to play this. 

The rollout may begin soon, and the rules (eligibility, claim process, conversion rate) will matter a lot.

If done well, this could become a major community campaign in crypto, showing how wallets and networks can reward real participation.
