Seasoned crypto enthusiasts often own multiple wallets, and with MetaMask's latest points rewards initiative, there's a strategic decision to make: should you create a single Rewards Profile for one wallet or consolidate all wallets under one profile to accumulate all points? Which strategy is optimal? Conclusion: It’s recommended to merge all wallets into one Rewards Profile to maximize loyalty points and total points, accelerate ranking upgrades, and earn more $LINEA tokens and future $MASK airdrops. ### MetaMask's Core Rules: #### 1. **Loyalty Points** - **What is it?** Points rewarded for historical transactions based on past use of MetaMask (e.g., swaps, cross-chain transactions). - **Formula:** For every accumulated transaction volume (specific thresholds not disclosed yet), approximately $1,000–$1,250 in historical transactions equals ~250 points, capped at 50,000 points per wallet address. - **Key Details:** Loyalty points are calculated per individual address by default but can be combined by linking multiple wallet addresses to a single Rewards Profile. - **Official Confirmation:** MetaMask confirms that by adding accounts through the Rewards Tab’s gear icon, loyalty points are aggregated across all linked addresses. - **Benefit of Consolidation:** For users with dozens or even hundreds of old wallets, each with significant historical transaction volumes, combining them can result in a starting loyalty score of tens of thousands of points, far surpassing the points from a single wallet. #### 2. **Referral Points** - **How does it work?** Each Rewards Profile is assigned a unique referral code. - New profiles activated with a referral code receive 250 points. - Referrers earn 10% of the points from the referred profile’s subsequent transactions (e.g., for every 50 points earned by the referred profile, the referrer gets 10 points). There's no cap on referral points. - **For multiple wallets:** - Referral codes apply per profile, not per individual address. If you create a separate profile for each wallet, each profile can use a referral code and earn 250 points (but loyalty points won’t be combined). - When wallets are linked to an existing profile, all addresses share one profile, so the referral link can only be used to earn the 250 points once. - **Pro Tip:** If you are importing/linking existing wallets, activate the profile first and then use the referral code, as codes cannot be reused for wallets linked to an already activated profile. #### 3. **Total Points** - **Where do they come from?** Points are accumulated from future activities like swaps (~80 points per $100 on Linea chain with 2x multiplier), perpetual contracts (~10 points per $100), cross-chain transactions, and staking. - **Consolidation Benefit:** Linking all wallet addresses ensures future transaction points are aggregated under one profile, preventing points from being scattered across multiple profiles. - **Level Thresholds:** Starting from **Level 2 (1,000 points)**, users qualify for $LINEA token rewards distributed from a $30M pool based on total points proportion. Higher levels (e.g., Level 5 at 100,000 points) unlock further benefits, such as fee discounts, priority support, and larger portions of the future $MASK airdrops. - Note: Profiles with fewer than 1,000 points don’t qualify for rewards. --- ### Strategy Comparison: **Separate vs. Consolidated** Assuming you have three wallets, each with $5,000 in historical transactions (~3,000 loyalty points per wallet), and you plan to perform weekly swaps worth $1,000 per wallet: | **Metric** | **Separate Profiles** | **Consolidated Profile** | |---------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------| | Loyalty Points | ~3,000 per wallet (total: ~9,000) | ~9,000 combined into one profile | | Referral Points | 250 per profile (total: 750) | Max of 250 for one profile | | Weekly Future Points | ~80 points per $100 * 3 wallets | ~240 points for 1 profile | | $LINEA Token Eligibility | Level 2 (3 profiles, each with ~1,050 points) | Level 3 (~9,330 combined points) | | $MASK Airdrop Allocation | Lower due to scattered history | Higher due to combined contributions | **Conclusion:** **Consolidation is the better strategy!** - **Efficiency of Points:** Loyalty points act as a “one-time big boost.” Consolidation allows you to start ahead of the curve (especially for long-time MetaMask users with significant historical transactions). Future transaction points are also unified, eliminating wasted points in low-score profiles. - **Airdrop ROI:** $LINEA tokens are distributed based on total points and level thresholds. Consolidation makes it easier to reach higher levels (e.g., Level 3 with ~25,000 points) and earn medium rewards. For $MASK, long-term contributions are weighted, and combining multiple addresses’ histories ensures a higher allocation. --- ### Step-by-Step Guide: #### 1. **Create/Activate a Rewards Profile:** - Open the MetaMask app (iOS v7.57+): [Link](https://t.co/KrCZhw8lzO). - Use this referral code: **YGSF1A** to claim 250 points upon activation. #### 2. **Link All Wallets:** - Navigate to **Rewards Tab > Gear Icon > Add Account.** - Import and connect all your old wallet addresses one by one (no need to transfer assets; just sign a message). Loyalty points will be automatically consolidated. #### 3. **Earn Points:** - Perform transactions on the **Linea chain** to take advantage of the 2x points multiplier. - Aim for weekly swaps or smart contract transactions worth $500–$1,000 per address. --- **Let’s go! Let’s go! Be sure to prioritize wallet security at all times.**
