What is Mask Network (MASK)?
Mask Network (MASK) is a browser extension and protocol that brings Web3 tools into the social platforms people already use. Instead of asking users to migrate to a new app, it adds a layer on top of X, Facebook, Instagram and a few other sites, so encrypted posts, token transfers and decentralized apps become available without leaving the familiar feed.
What is the MASK token used for?
MASK is the governance token of MaskDAO, the decentralized organization that oversees the ecosystem. Holding MASK gives voting power on proposals about the protocol's direction, incentive programs and developer support. The supply is capped in code, so no additional tokens can be minted.
How does the Mask Network extension work?
The extension runs in the browser and injects small interfaces into supported social media pages. When someone writes an encrypted post through Mask Network, the message is encrypted end to end; the platform still hosts the text but cannot decrypt it. The extension also reacts to content already on the page: a Gitcoin link may turn into a donation option, and a token symbol like $ETH can open a swap interface.
What infrastructure does Mask Network rely on?
Mask Network does not operate its own blockchain. It builds on Ethereum, and the MASK token follows the ERC-20 standard on that network. Bridged versions of the token exist on BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. This lets the extension connect to wallets and applications across multiple EVM-compatible chains without requiring a separate network.
