Recently, MetaMask's parent company Consensys announced the release of its new token known as MASK, making it the first official token of the platform. With this token, platform users will be able to access premium features and rewards. The token’s smart contract will allow its holders to purchase a variety of goods and services from coin exchanges, wallets, and other platforms that partner with Metamask.

As anticipation over the new token mounts, a listing page for $MASK was published on CoinMarketCap on Friday. Unfortunately, the launch of the token is still a ways off, which caused a MetaMask representative to take to Twitter to blast the page, calling it “fake shit.”

CoinMarketCap responded by adding a disclaimer to the page, noting that it is merely a placeholder until the actual token launch occurs. However, a MetaMask representative was still unsatisfied, noting that pages like this can lead to scam tokens that make false promises about the real token. As such, the representative requested that CMC remove the listing altogether and warned of responsibility for any losses stemming from these scam tokens.

For now, MetaMask users must wait for the launch of the MASK token, as its listing remains in limbo on CoinMarketCap. The token will be available to purchase from the MetaMask interface, and those interested in purchasing MASK tokens can use the MetaMask Wallet to store them. In the coming months, more details about the token and its expected launch date will be announced, giving more clarity to the token’s future.
