I heard that The existence of Metamask token has been verified by Joe Lubin, the founder of Consensys, the company that owns Metamask..
I heard this rumor early this year, but still no Airdrop yet.
Theres nothing to lose if you will just try and use their platform just for the benefit of this airdrop rumor, maybe this will be the biggest Airdrop for this year or maybe next year. If you have extra funds or using metamask for quiet some time now, you already have that assurance. Airdrop will still depend on their value though, lets see if Metamask will still push this through.
