MASQ (ticker: MASQ) is the native token of the MASQ Network, a decentralized mesh VPN built to let people browse the internet privately and get around censorship. Instead of routing traffic through a company's servers, the network relays it through a peer-to-peer mesh of nodes run by ordinary users, and the token coordinates payments and rewards between them. In simple terms, MASQ is the currency that keeps a community-owned privacy network running.
Frequently asked questions
What is MASQ and how is it different from other cryptocurrencies?
MASQ is a utility token tied to an actual service: a decentralized VPN built on a mesh of user-operated nodes. Unlike generic payment coins, its core purpose is buying and selling bandwidth inside that network. The token runs on Polygon, which keeps transfers fast and inexpensive.
How does the MASQ network and its technology work?
MASQ operates as a dMeshVPN: your traffic hops between nodes run by regular users rather than passing through centralized servers. Node operators share bandwidth and earn MASQ, while users spend it to route their traffic, so no single party sees or controls the whole path. The token itself lives on Polygon, a proof-of-stake blockchain that handles the network's accounting.
How is the MASQ token emission structured?
MASQ has a hard cap of 37,500,000 coins, meaning no additional tokens can ever be created beyond that limit. Supply is distributed as rewards for running nodes and supporting the network rather than through open-ended issuance. This fixed-supply design stands in contrast to coins with ongoing inflation.
How can I store and use MASQ?
Because MASQ is an ERC-20 token on Polygon, any wallet that supports Polygon or Ethereum will do — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. Inside the ecosystem, the token is used to pay for VPN access, and you can earn it by running a node yourself. As always with crypto, keep your seed phrase offline and never share it with anyone.
