Potential airdrop alert!
Speculations about a MetaMask airdrop have been circulating for a long time.
It gained momentum after Joseph Lubin, CEO of MetaMask’s parent company, confirmed plans for a token launch in an interview.
MetaMask is a widely used multi-chain hot wallet, with around 30 million monthly active users.
Also, it’s worth noting that the parent company is valued at an impressive $7 billion!
This suggests that the airdrop could be one of the largest in crypto history.
In this post, I will show you how to become eligible for the MetaMask airdrop. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to miss out!
How To Become Eligible For The MetaMask Airdrop
You may watch as Uche from Inside Crypto guides you through the entire process in this video.
However, if you’d rather read, I have explained the steps below.
Step 1: Install A MetaMask Wallet
You can either install the MetaMask Chrome Extension or the mobile app via Google Play or the App Store. I will be using the mobile app to guide you through.
In case you are new to the world of crypto, here is a post that explains how to install the MetaMask wallet.
Just a quick reminder: make sure that you securely store your seed phrase.
After you’ve installed MetaMask, visit Chainlink.org to add different blockchains.
Here’s how to do it from your MetaMask:
- Click on the “Browser” icon located at the bottom right-hand of the screen.
- Search for “chainlist.org”.
- Next, connect your wallet to chainlist.org. To do so, simply scroll down and click “Connect Wallet”. After that, you will receive a prompt asking for your approval. Click on “Connect” and your wallet will be successfully connected.
- Scroll down and select the options to add various blockchains of your preference to MetaMask. It’s not necessary to add Ethereum, as it is already integrated with Metamask by default.
Heads up!
There are three possible ways to qualify for this airdrop:
- Using the “Swap” function
- Bridging through MetaMask
- Joining the Infura’s Early Access Program
I will discuss how to use these MetaMask features in the subsequent steps. Continue below!
Step 2: Use The Swap Feature
i. Fund your wallet
You need to fund your MetaMask wallet with the token you want to swap and the blockchain token for the gas fee.
Assuming you want to swap USDT for BNB using the Binance Smart Chain;
You will need to fund your MetaMask with the amount of USDT you want to swap, and some BNB to cover the gas fee.
There are two ways you can fund your MetaMask.
One is, sending from a different wallet where you have stored them or buying and sending from a centralized crypto exchange.
If you prefer the latter, here are the two top crypto exchanges we recommend:
To send funds using these options, copy your wallet address from Metamask or scan the QR code.
The second option is to buy crypto directly from your MetaMask wallet. Nigerians can do this using the new ” Nigeria Instant transfer” feature. This feature, though, is not available to all countries.
ii. Swap your token
- On MetaMask, click on “Swap”. Select the tokens you want to swap and click “Get quotes”
Finally, review the quote displayed and click on “Swipe to swap.”
Note that you can swap back to the initial token and withdraw it if you wish.
Step 3: Use MetaMask Bridge
Here is how to do so:
- Click on the “Browser” icon again and search for “portfolio.metamask.io/bridge”, then connect your Metamask.
- Fill in the boxes provided. Review the quote displayed, and click Continue.”
Remember to first fund your MetaMask with the token you intend to bridge beforehand.
Additionally, there may be a limited amount of tokens to bridge, so you may want to try out the bridge before sending funds.
