Mask Network (MASK)
Web3 bridge for social media. Use DeFi from Twitter.
What is Mask Network?
Mask Network is a browser extension that brings Web3 functionality directly into Web2 social media platforms. Install Mask, and you can send encrypted messages on Twitter, tip creators with crypto, trade tokens on Uniswap without leaving Facebook, or display your NFTs on your profile. Mask turns social networks into portals to the decentralized web.
MASK is the governance and utility token. It's used for voting on protocol upgrades, staking for rewards, and accessing premium features. Mask also integrates with data marketplaces where users can monetize their social media data.
Mask Network has integrations with Twitter, Facebook, and other major platforms. It's used by crypto enthusiasts who want to interact with Web3 without leaving their social feeds.
How Mask Network Works
Mask Network is a browser extension (available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge). Once installed, it adds a layer on top of social media websites. You can encrypt tweets so only specific followers can read them, embed Uniswap swaps directly in a Facebook post, or attach an NFT to a tweet that others can buy instantly. All Web3 interactions happen through your MetaMask or WalletConnect wallet. Mask doesn't require the social platform to support crypto — it works as an overlay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permission from Twitter or Facebook to use Mask?
No. Mask Network is a browser extension that works as an overlay on top of existing social networks. The platforms don't know you're using Mask. It's like using an ad blocker — it modifies what you see in your browser, not what the website sends.
Can others see my encrypted messages?
Only if you give them permission. When you encrypt a tweet with Mask, you choose which followers can decrypt it. They need Mask installed and must be on your approved list. Everyone else sees garbled text.
Where do I store MASK?
MASK is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Use MetaMask, Ledger, or any Ethereum wallet.
Can I sell or swap MASK?
Yes. Swaps supports selling MASK for fiat and swapping it for other tokens.
