- Ever since Uniswap airdropped its governance tokens, many decentralized projects are doing the same.
- Now, users are speculating that MetaMask is going to do an airdrop and many seem to believe that their snapshots would be taken in a few days – on New Year’s Eve.
- As of yet, though, these are only rumors and speculations as MetaMask hasn’t officially confirmed anything.
- This is where scammers come into the picture. Someone has created a fake MetaMask governance token with the MASK ticker and has put it up for trading on Uniswap yesterday.
- This was immediately detected by traders and over 390 users bought it as the token reached over $9 million in traded volume. At the time of this writing, the liquidity has been pulled.
