Launched in February 2021, the Mask Network’s token, MASK, represents membership in the MaskDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization where holders own and govern the ecosystem. MASK is utilized for governance, protocol incentives, DApplet development, and premium features. Each token represents a vote, allowing token holders to stake their tokens in bidding contracts to partake in governance decisions.
