Although MetaMask has not officially announced any details about the token airdrop, some users have claimed that it could happen on March 31.
Some crypto websites have also published guides on how to qualify for potential airdrops using various features of MetaMask such as token swapping, bridging networks, staking Ethereum, buying ENS domains and creating multi-sig wallets. However, these guides have not been verified by MetaMask and may not guarantee eligibility for the airdrop.
Especially on Twitter, there is a lot of fraudulent content about the airdrop of MetaMask. Users should be especially wary of these and not click on any airdrop links until an official statement is published.
