ConsenSys
49 Bogart St, Brooklyn, New York, 11206, United States
Overview
ConsenSys develops core Ethereum infrastructure and consumer products, most notably the MetaMask wallet and the Infura developer platform, alongside Truffle, PegaSys and Codefi. Its products serve both developers and end users across the Ethereum ecosystem; MetaMask has over 30 million monthly active users and Infura reports 430,000 developers, with its API supporting over $1 trillion in annualized on‑chain ETH transaction volume. The company reported “nine figures” in revenue in 2021. ConsenSys plans to use new funding to grow its team from about 700 to roughly 1,000 by year‑end and to expand product capabilities, including a plug‑in extensibility system to integrate other protocols and pursue multi‑chain scalability. The firm completed a 2020 reorganization that moved assets from ConsenSys Mesh into ConsenSys Software Inc. and was founded in 2014. That asset transfer is the subject of shareholder allegations alleging improper shifts of assets and a group is pushing for an independent audit in Switzerland; ConsenSys Mesh says it expects any audit to confirm fair market value. ConsenSys builds Web3 infrastructure and developer tools, anchored by MetaMask (a self-custodial wallet) and Infura (developer node and API services). MetaMask serves approximately 21 million monthly active users who interact with roughly 3,700 unique Web3 applications, and its in-app swap feature has enabled more than $10 billion in token swaps. Infura is used by about 350,000 developers, and ConsenSys integrates other products (Truffle, Diligence, Customer Success) to support the full development lifecycle. The company supports many Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 networks, and MetaMask Institutional offers custody and compliance solutions for organizations accessing DeFi. ConsenSys Quorum Blockchain Service is used in 10 central bank digital currency projects worldwide. The firm says funding will expand MetaMask and Infura and add 400 new roles across products and services. ConsenSys’ engineering teams are also contributing to Ethereum’s upcoming merge to Proof of Stake. ConsenSys develops a suite of Ethereum products and developer tools including Codefi, Diligence, Infura, MetaMask, Truffle and Quorum. The company serves public and private permissioned networks, supports Layer 2 solutions and provides access to adjacent protocols such as IPFS and Filecoin. It restructured into two arms — ConsenSys (the core software business) and ConsenSys Mesh (the investment arm and incubator) — and acquired J.P. Morgan’s Quorum to deepen its enterprise offering. ConsenSys is a major contributor to Ethereum 2.0 and its Protocols group is building CBDCs for six central banks. Product usage metrics cited in the articles include MetaMask with more than 3 million monthly active users (a roughly 3x increase in five to six months), $1.8 billion in decentralized exchange swap volume (ConsenSys takes a 0.875% cut on swaps), Infura with over 150,000 developer users, and Truffle used by 4.5 million developers. ConsenSys develops blockchain solutions built on the Ethereum blockchain for a range of users, from local communities to global enterprises. The company provides enterprise and community-facing blockchain tools and services. The article reports a $10 million investment from SK Group. ConsenSys' technology focus and partnerships position it to support mobile identity and other enterprise blockchain use cases. No operating metrics (revenue or user counts) are provided in the article.
