The Mask Network (MASK) operates as an encrypted social messaging application, cryptocurrency, and decentralized file-sharing network. The protocol enables users to do things like encrypt social media posts on Facebook and Twitter. Once encrypted only your friends can decrypt and read your posts. All this and more is possible using the Mask protocol.

Sending and receiving cryptocurrency payments on social media channels has been the goal of developers for years but there has been a lot of regulatory pushback. In the past, regulators have expressed disdain for social media-powered cryptocurrency projects such as Facebook’s now stalled Libra Coin. Mask has found a unique way to integrate its protocol into the larger network without raising regulatory concerns.

Another one of the key features of Mask is its decentralized file sharing and storage services. The decentralized file sharing sector continues to expand due to multiple reasons. For one, these networks provide far more security than traditional cloud-sharing platforms. The integration of enterprise-grade encryption technology provides these users with an extra layer of protection against data breaches.

MASK is the network’s primary cryptocurrency. MASK is an ERC20 token and it is secured by Ethereum's proof of stake consensus. This token serves a variety of crucial roles in the ecosystem. Its first task is to operate as a cryptocurrency. Users can send MASK to anyone across the planet in seconds. Secondly, the token operates as a powerful utility token. You need to hold MASK to participate in the network’s services and features. Lastly, you must hold MASK tokens to participate in the network’s community voting system.
