Buying MASK on LeveX takes three steps: fund your account with USDT, open the MASK/USDT spot market, and place a market or limit order. If you want leveraged exposure instead of holding the token, the MASK perpetual contract is listed separately and follows a different order flow.
MASK is the governance token of MaskDAO, the organization behind Mask Network. This guide covers both routes on LeveX, plus the checks worth running before you place the first order.
What Is MASK?
Mask Network began in 2019 as a browser extension that adds Web3 functions to mainstream social platforms, letting users publish encrypted posts, attach token giveaways, and display on-chain identity inside X, Facebook, and Instagram. The Mask Network extension remains the ecosystem's oldest product, alongside the Firefly app, the Next.ID identity protocol, and the Web3.bio profile service.
MASK launched in February 2021 through the project's own Initial Twitter Offering, with a fixed supply of 100 million tokens that has been fully circulating since early 2024. In January 2026 the group took on stewardship of the Lens social graph, giving MaskDAO responsibility for the product roadmap of one of the largest open social protocols in crypto. The token is an ERC-20 on Ethereum, with bridged versions on BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, and Energi.
Buying MASK on LeveX Spot
Spot buying gives you the token itself, which you can hold, withdraw, or use in governance.
- Register a LeveX account and complete verification. Both take a few minutes.
- Fund the account. Deposit USDT from an external wallet, or use Buy Crypto to purchase USDT with a card or bank transfer.
- Open the MASK/USDT spot market.
- Choose an order type. A market order fills immediately at the best available price, while a limit order lets you set the price you are willing to pay and waits for the market to reach it.
- Enter the amount in MASK or in USDT and confirm. The order appears in your open orders until filled, and the tokens land in your spot wallet.
One check is worth thirty seconds before you buy. MASK shares its ticker with a token expected from the MetaMask wallet, and the two are unrelated projects, so read our comparison of MASK and the MetaMask token if you arrived here from an airdrop search. The pair listed on LeveX is Mask Network's 2021 ERC-20, contract 0x69af81e73a73b40adf4f3d4223cd9b1ece623074.
Because MASK trades a relatively thin market, limit orders are usually the better instrument for anything larger than a small position. A limit order also protects you from the slippage a market order can suffer when the book is shallow.
If you plan to hold long term or vote in MaskDAO, withdraw the tokens to self-custody. Our guide to the best MASK wallets covers software and hardware options and the network selection that matters on withdrawal, since sending to the right address on the wrong chain is unrecoverable.
Trading MASK Perpetual Futures on LeveX
Perpetual futures let you take a long or short position with leverage and without holding the underlying token.
- Move funds from your spot wallet to your futures wallet using the internal transfer function.
- Open the MASK perpetual contract.
- Set your leverage. Higher multiples reduce the margin required and shrink the price move needed to liquidate the position, so start conservatively. Our explainer on margin and leverage covers the mechanics.
- Choose long or short, select your order type, and enter position size.
- Set a stop loss and a take profit before confirming. The guide to stop loss and take profit orders walks through both.
- Monitor funding. Perpetual contracts exchange periodic payments between longs and shorts, explained in our note on funding rates.
Futures suit traders acting on a specific view or timeframe. If your thesis is the multi-year adoption case described in our MASK price outlook, spot is the more appropriate instrument, since a leveraged position can be liquidated by volatility that a spot holder simply sits through.
LeveX also supports multi-trade mode, which lets you run several independent positions on the same pair with separate leverage, margin, and exit levels. Traders use it to hold a core position while trading shorter-term moves around it.
Why Trade MASK on LeveX
Both markets sit on one account, so you can hold spot MASK and hedge or add leverage through the perpetual without moving funds between platforms. Internal transfers between spot and futures wallets settle instantly.
The pair characteristics also matter for a token like this. MASK has no unlock schedule and a permanently fixed float, as covered in our breakdown of MASK tokenomics, which means price moves come purely from demand and can be sharp in both directions. LeveX's order types, adjustable leverage, and position management tools are built for exactly that kind of volatility, and 24/7 support covers the hours when small-cap markets tend to move.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum amount of MASK I can buy on LeveX?
The minimum is set by the market's minimum order value rather than a fixed token count, and it is small enough that most traders will never encounter it. The order form shows the minimum for the MASK/USDT pair before you confirm, and the same applies to the perpetual contract.
Can I buy MASK with a credit card?
Indirectly. Use the Buy Crypto function to purchase USDT with a card or bank transfer, then swap that USDT for MASK on the spot market. There is no direct card-to-MASK route, which is standard for tokens outside the largest few by market cap.
Is MASK available on both spot and futures on LeveX?
Yes. LeveX lists MASK/USDT for spot trading and a MASK USDT-margined perpetual contract for leveraged trading. If you are deciding between them, our support article on spot versus futures trading compares the two.
Choosing Your Route Into MASK
Spot and futures answer different questions. Buy spot if you want to hold MASK through the adoption thesis, withdraw it to your own wallet, or lock it to vote, and note that MaskDAO governance requires tokens held at an address you control for seven days before a proposal opens. Trade the perpetual if you have a directional view on a defined timeframe and want to size it with leverage.
Whichever you choose, size for the market you are in. MASK turns over a few million dollars a day, which produces wider spreads and faster moves than a large-cap pair, and a position sized for that reality survives the volatility that comes with a small float.
