Mask Network: Is Investing in MASK Worth it?

What is the Mask network and is it worth investing in? In this article we will take a closer look at the Mask project and explain why it is considered to be the portal to a new and open Internet.

What is Mask Network?

The Mask Network is a protocol claiming to be a portal to a new and open internet. The network operates as an encrypted social messaging application, cryptocurrency, and decentralized file-sharing network. Its native token, MASK, is making parabolic moves, witnessing a price spike at the beginning of the month. Last week, it saw a high of $5.82 before entering a downward trend. 

Mask Network was founded by Suji San, and the launch of the network happened in July 2019. The decentralized protocol runs on the Ethereum blockchain.

Pros

• Mask has outperformed 63% of the top 100 crypto assets in 1 year
• The token is trading above the 200-day simple moving average
• Mask has had a positive performance when compared to the token sale price
• Mask token has high liquidity based on its market cap
• The token is trading on Binance
• Mask has a yearly inflation rate of 0.00% (+1.00 MASK per year)

Cons

• The price of the token dropped significantly over the past year, down by 91.1%
• The token is overbought and may soon fall
• There is less than 29% of the total supply in circulation.  

How Does It Work?

For years, large social media giants and blockchain startups have tried to configure a way to make sending cryptocurrency through social media easier and more accessible. However, there has been a lot of regulatory pushback. 

Mask has found a unique way to integrate its protocol into the more extensive network without raising regulatory concerns. The network will introduce privacy and Web3 functionalities to social media, including Twitter and Facebook by encrypting messages disseminated through social media platforms.

This will be possible through an open-sourced browser extension. Here’s how:

Step 1: Head over to the Mask network website and click on ‘Install Mask ‘to download the Mask extension.

NB: Ensure you are using a web3 browser such as Chrome/Edge, Opera, Brave or Firefox. For this example, we shall use Chrome.

Step 2: Follow the instructions in the U.I to create a new persona and connect with your social media accounts

Step 3: Mask Network will automatically jump to the Twitter page and scan for your username. Confirm your username and click ‘Connect.’

The Mask browser extension allows anyone to interact with others on traditional platforms like Facebook and Twitter, through and with Web3 principles and solutions. 

Major MASK Announcements

The price spike seen in the last week has been attributed to major activities from various exchanges. When there is the support of a project by significant platforms, the token seems to have a spike. This has been the case on the Mask Network. 

FTX

Last week, the spike in MASK’s price was linked to recent announcements by the major crypto exchange, FTX. The exchange aimed to list the token for spot and perpetual futures trading. As for last week, FTX was the world’s third-largest crypto exchange by trading volumes, which meant a pool of potential investors.

FTX’s announcements triggered similar declarations by other crypto exchanges, including ByBit. Owing to this, MASK’s price saw an increase due to the gain in market support. The new index by Binance also saw its rise.

Binance and Twitter

Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, MASK began surging in price due to increasing prospects of more use cases for the token. 

The news ignited fresh interest in Mask Network from investors as they anticipate the MASK token could be used for tipping and payments on Twitter. 

Additionally, Binance recently announced it was launching the “Bluebird Index” that will comprise $MASK, $BNB, and $DOGE.
