The code update flagged by crypto researcher Ericonomic on X, comes on the heels of ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin reportedly stating that MetaMask would be issuing its own MASK token soon.
MetaMask is reportedly preparing to launch perpetual trading using Hyperliquid’s builder codes, according to a pull request on the project’s GitHub repository.
The code update, first flagged by crypto researcher Ericonomic on X, suggests the popular Ethereum wallet is exploring a deeper push into decentralized derivatives. The spot comes on the heels of Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin telling The Block that MetaMask will launch its MASK token sooner than expected, ending years of speculation.
“The MASK token is coming — it may come sooner than you would expect right now,” Lubin said. “ConsenSys is supporting the Ethereum ecosystem to move toward gradual decentralization through MetaMask, Infura, and Linea.”
