Joseph Lubin says 'token-powered economies' are coming to Consensys' product suite, including Infura
Quick Take Lubin has said Consensys will tokenize across products, including MetaMask, Linea, and, notably, Infura (DIN). Previously, MetaMask unveiled Season 1 rewards with over $30 million in LINEA incentives, ahead of a future MetaMask token.
Consensys founder Joseph Lubin said the blockchain firm will roll out tokens across its major products — extending beyond Linea and MetaMask to Infura's Decentralized Infrastructure Network — in a push to build "token-powered economies."
In an early Monday post on X , Lubin mentioned Infura's decentralized infrastructure project (DIN), signaling that a token component for the developer platform is on the roadmap alongside a MetaMask token and ongoing Linea distribution.
Infura's DIN has been progressing toward a more decentralized architecture, including work tied to EigenLayer and an early-access program aimed at distributing RPC services across multiple providers. Lubin’s post implies that a token component will soon plug into that effort.
"Across Consensys, we’re building token-powered economies that create positive-sum relationships between users and builders," Lubin wrote. "Starting with Linea, expanding through MetaMask, soon through DIN (Infura’s Decentralized Infrastructure project) – and beyond."
The Block reached out to Consensys for comment.
The hint comes after MetaMask's forthcoming onchain rewards program, which will distribute over $30 million in Season 1, including LINEA incentives for everyday activity. MetaMask separately said the program is "one of the largest onchain rewards programs ever built" and will roll out in the next couple of weeks.
The comments follow Consensys’ recent confirmation that a MetaMask token is on the way, as previously reported by The Block , and arrive less than a month after Linea’s token generation event and airdrop. Together, they suggest a broader Consensys token strategy that spans its wallet, Layer 2 network, and developer infrastructure. MetaMask said its rewards will include referrals, mUSD incentives, partner perks, and access to tokens, while emphasizing it is "not a farming play." Lubin added that Season 1 is a first step toward a larger evolution that "empowers" long-time users ahead of a MetaMask token event.

From yen rate hikes to mining farms shutting down, why is bitcoin still falling?
The recent decline in bitcoin prices is primarily driven by expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan, uncertainty regarding the US Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory, and systemic de-risking by market participants. Japan's potential rate hike may trigger the unwinding of global arbitrage trades, leading to a sell-off in risk assets. At the same time, increased uncertainty over US rate cuts has intensified market volatility. In addition, selling by long-term holders, miners, and market makers has further amplified the price drop.
