Consensys wasn\u2019t able to comment on which tokens will be used to incentivize VillageDAO members, but we speculate a native MASK token could be used for this utility in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\"><strong class=\"core-block\">The Metamask, VillageDAO Partnership:<\/strong> With 40 million monthly active users, Metamask is the most popular <strong class=\"core-block\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/money\/is-ethereum-a-good-investment\/\" class=\"core-block\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ticker\" data-ticker=\"ETH\/USD\" data-exchange=\"CRYPTO\">ETH\/USD<\/span> wallet for DeFi users and NFT collectors. We talked to Consensys at Permissionless to get more details on why Metamask is partnering with VillageDAO and how the VillageDAO intends to scale to the entirety of DeFi on Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\"><strong class=\"core-block\">Dror Avieli<\/strong>, VP of customer success at Consensys, commented on Metamask\u2019s exponential growth and scaling customer support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">\u201cYou cannot continue to grow like that. Soon you need a team like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/money\/coinbase-alternative\/\" class=\"core-block\" rel=\"noopener\">Coinbase<\/a> with 3,000 or whatever on its support team. I came to the conclusion that we need to decentralize, and the team started to talk about it and fell in love with the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\"><strong class=\"core-block\">Looking toward the future, we asked Avieli how Consensys will scale to reach a billion users.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">\u201cWith the mix of the changes we did last year and with the VillageDAO, I&#8217;m welcoming the 1 billion, and I&#8217;m looking for the challenge to support 1 billion [users]. Very excited. Yes, because I think we will be ready with the mix of changes and know whenever it comes, we&#8217;ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\"><strong class=\"core-block\">Next, we asked Avieli how VillageDAO contributors will be incentivized to contribute to the DAO, and if the MASK tokens will be involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">In regards to MASK tokens, Dror responded teasingly, \u201cWhich token?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">He then followed:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">\u201cIt was clear we needed to do something regarding monetization. The details of that are still not clear because, you know, putting a monetization system in place with some gamification, it&#8217;s not an easy exercise. Metamask will be the first brand to go live once this whole system is ready. But for me, one of the goals is that eventually the VillageDAO will take the toll of the majority of the ecosystem support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">Avieli also explained how a future revenue model may work for VillageDAO. Without going into detail on the process, protocols may fund the DAO\u2019s treasury in order to pay contributors to conduct customer support for their protocols.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">\u201cAnd well, in this pilot, we have a limited number of people that actually get access to the VillageDAO users, and these experts are actually helping during a design partnership phase, checking the mechanics of the tools and everything related to that. The next phase will be checking the mechanics of the configuration, and then Metamask will be the first brand to go live once this whole system is ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"core-block\">This begs the question: how does\u00a0Metamask plan to pay for\u00a0customer support at the scale of 40 million users? Relative to its user-base, Consensus doesn\u2019t make much revenue. Could a native token to Metamask be the solution?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/cryptocurrency\/22\/06\/27536645\/customer-support-on-ethereum-is-here-metamask-announces-villagedao-partnership-potential-m\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum\u2019s most popular DeFi wallet announced a\u00a0partnership with the VillageDAO to scale customer support in a decentralized and secure manner.
