Mask Network

Mask Network develops a browser extension that inserts Web3 functionality into existing social platforms. The product supports encrypted posting, token and NFT display, decentralized file storage via IPFS and Arweave, and cross-chain swaps — delivered as an overlay on X, Facebook, Instagram, Minds, and Mirror. The codebase is open-source, and the wallet supports 15 or more EVM-compatible chains. The firm's owned infrastructure includes the Next.ID decentralized identity protocol and the Mask Token, which powers gas payments on a Polygon-deployed contract wallet called Smart Pay. The ecosystem aggregates more than 20 supported Web3 projects, including ENS, Gitcoin, Snapshot, Lens Protocol, OpenSea, and Unstoppable Domains. The organization distributes operations across Singapore, the Cayman Islands, San Francisco, and Hong Kong. It acts as both a software publisher and an ecosystem funder, though no disclosed AUM or recent investment vehicle closes were available at the time of this profile. The firm's token and equity treasury is not publicly broken out. Mask Network's structural shape is that of a protocol builder with an embedded application layer: the browser extension serves as distribution, while protocols like Next.ID and the Mask Token create on-chain economic rails. Unlike VC-backed wallet companies, the firm does not charge subscription fees and does not custody user assets. The team size, founding date, and named principals are not publicly disclosed.

Frequently asked questions

What is Mask Network's primary product?

A browser extension that overlays Web3 services — encrypted messaging, decentralized identity, token swaps, NFT rendering, and file storage — onto X, Facebook, Instagram, Minds, and Mirror. Users install the extension to access these features without leaving the social platform.

How does Mask Network generate revenue?

The firm does not publicly disclose a revenue model beyond its protocol token, MASK, and its open-source software. The extension is free to users, and the codebase is public. No subscription fees or custody-based fee structures have been publicly described.

Is Mask Network a for-profit company or a decentralized protocol?

It operates as both: a software company that maintains the browser extension and related infrastructure, and a token-based protocol. The Mask Token is used for gas payments on the Smart Pay contract wallet and is traded on centralized exchanges, while the extension's code is open-source.

Which blockchains does Mask Network support?

The extension's wallet supports 15 or more EVM-compatible chains. Smart Pay, its contract wallet feature, is deployed specifically on Polygon. The firm also integrates decentralized storage networks including IPFS and Arweave.

Who founded Mask Network, and who runs it?

The firm does not publicly disclose its founder or current executive team. No named principals, management structure, or organizational history appear on the mask.io website or in its published materials.
