MASK Network leads rally of metaverse tokens

MASK Network is a web3 protocol that brings the privacy benefits of decentralization to social media platforms. The web3 protocol is focused on the decentralization of social media and identities on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. 

Crypto market participants consider MASK Network’s token MASK as a competitor for Dogecoin (DOGE) in its utility for crypto payments on Twitter. While Twitter is working on its crypto payment roll-out, MASK Network’s community believes the metaverse token will find utility and a boost in its adoption. 

MASK has yielded 87.5% gains for holders over the past 30 days and 6% gains since February 8. Since Meta’s earnings announcement, the focus in crypto has shifted from altcoins and DeFi tokens to metaverse tokens like The Sandbox (SAND), Decentraland (MANA) and Axie Infinity (AXS), alongside newfound interest by traders in Artificial Intelligence. 

SAND, MANA and AXS rank among the top 10 metaverse tokens by market capitalization. MASK has led the rally in these assets since the announcement of Twitter’s application for a payment license in the US. 

While it remains to be seen whether MASK will be used for crypto payments on Elon Musk’s social messaging platform, the token has garnered interest of traders in the community.
