How to Earn MetaMask Rewards

What is MetaMask

MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet developed by ConsenSys, available as a browser extension and a mobile app for iOS and Android. It allows users to store and send cryptocurrencies, hold NFT tokens, and interact with decentralized applications on the network.

On October 28, MetaMask launched its long-awaited points program aimed at rewarding active users. Participants can earn points by swapping tokens and trading futures directly within the app.

How to Participate in MetaMask Rewards

To get started, you need to install the MetaMask app on your mobile device and create or import your EVM wallet. To do this, download MetaMask by visiting your device’s app store.

After installation, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet or import an existing one using your secret recovery phrase.

To join, you must participate in the MetaMask Rewards campaign. You can do this through the pop-up banner or by tapping the Rewards button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Complete the onboarding process and receive an additional 250 bonus points for free by entering the code ‘NJESCX’ in the designated field.

Once you’ve completed these steps, you can start earning points that will bring you closer to exciting rewards.

Futures Trading within the App

By trading futures, you’ll earn 1 point for every $10 in trading volume when opening or closing positions, as well as when take-profit or stop-loss orders are triggered.

Retrospective Points for Early MetaMask Wallet Activity

You can link all your EVM wallets previously used for trading in MetaMask to the Rewards program.

You can earn up to 50,000 points — 250 points for every $1,250 in total swap and bridge volume (only transactions made before October 15, 2025 are counted).

Conclusion

MetaMask Rewards is an excellent opportunity to warm up your wallet ahead of the anticipated $MASK token airdrop, which the team has hinted at multiple times.

Many wallet ecosystems are now introducing similar engagement models, rewarding users for active on-chain behavior. One example is Soneium Rewards — Sony’s Ethereum Layer-2 that merges fast, low-cost transactions with its Soneium Score campaign, where participants earn points through swaps, liquidity, and NFT quests each season.

A similar pattern has been playing out in prediction markets. Polymarket, for instance, has exploded in trading volume lately. The mechanics are different, but the core idea is the same: when a platform rewards participation — whether through points, liquidity, or informational skill — users who understand the system can turn that engagement into real value.

To maximize your rewards, try to diversify your wallet activity. The most profitable source of points is token swapping in the Linea network via the mobile app, but don’t overlook futures trading and referral invitations as additional earning opportunities.
