@Linea.eth #Linea $LINEA #MetaMask
Linea joined forces to celebrate the MetaMask Card pilot rollout across the US, UK, EU, Switzerland, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico with an interactive holiday campaign — giving users the chance to win 200 $USDC + $200 in $BXX every week.
The pilot marked a major step forward for crypto payments in the real world, enabling MetaMask users to spend crypto like cash anywhere Mastercard was accepted — without leaving their wallet or handing over custody of their assets.


🎄 The Holiday Challenge: Spend, Share & Win
Participants were invited to post photos or videos showing themselves using MetaMask Card during the holiday season — whether tapping to pay, shopping online, or simply sharing what gifts they planned to buy with crypto.
How it worked:
Partiipants recorded an image or video using MetaMask Card (videos were preferred).
They posted it on X (Twitter) with the hashtag CryptoHolidayChallenge.
They showcased how MetaMask Card made payments easier, faster, or more empowering.
The top 100 creative entries each week received 200 USDC + $200 in $BXX, thanks to Linea and partner Baanx, who matched Linea’s prize contribution.
The challenge included users across multiple regions (excluding NY and Vermont in the US).
💳 The MetaMask Card on Linea
The MetaMask Card functioned as a crypto-native debit card, built on Linea’s zkEVM Layer 2 network, ensuring low-cost, near-instant transactions.
Key highlights:
Direct spending: Any retailer that accepted Mastercard could also accept crypto payments.
Supported assets: USDC, USDT, and WETH on Linea (USDC only in the US).
Self-custody: Users retained full control of their funds until the moment of purchase — no intermediaries, credit checks, or banks were required.
Global reach: Powered by Mastercard’s merchant network and Linea’s scalability, the card unified DeFi and everyday commerce.
By combining MetaMask’s wallet security with Linea’s efficient zkEVM infrastructure, the MetaMask Card enabled seamless, real-world use of crypto at a global scale.
🌍 A Step Toward the Future of Spending
For years, crypto holders struggled to spend their assets directly. MetaMask and Linea changed that by offering a permissionless, onchain card system where users could spend stablecoins or ETH with instant conversion at checkout.
This initiative showcased Linea’s real-world utility — bringing Ethereum-aligned scalability to one of the world’s most trusted Web3 wallets.
As MetaMask and Linea prepared for a wider MetaMask Card expansion in 2025, the #CryptoHolidayChallenge served as both a celebration and a signal:
The next era of payments had already begun — crypto, on your terms.
