In the 2020 review report, the current 6 business lines of ConsenSys are completely sorted out, as well as the relevant achievements and data in 2020. These data can also well explain the explosive growth of Ethereum in this year, whether it is Ecological infrastructure, applications, users, miners, or enterprise-level applications.
As the largest business organization in the Ethereum ecosystem, ConsenSys has undergone drastic reforms this year to become a single comprehensive software company. And separated the previous investment and portfolio management activities from the software business to form a new organization called ConsenSys Mesh, which is a supplementary entity to the independent ConsenSys software business.

But in fact, at the beginning of the year, ConsenSys also suffered from the impact of the epidemic, and twice announced the layoff of about 14% of its employees. Joseph Lubin, founder of ConsenSys and co-founder of Ethereum, announced the news in an internal plenary meeting, saying, "I think we can use many tools to deal with this crisis, and layoffs are inevitable."
In addition to layoffs, news that ConsenSys is financing has also been revealed. In August of this year, overseas media broke the news that ConsenSys was conducting a round of financing, raising US$50 million in the form of convertible bonds. People familiar with the matter said that JPMorgan Chase (JPMorgan) plans to ConsenSys made a $20 million investment. At the same time, the merger of Quorum, the blockchain division of JP Morgan Chase, and ConsenSys is also in progress.
Towards the end of the year, ConsenSys continued to complement its existing product line through several acquisitions. For example, in November, it acquired the team and technology behind the smart contract development tool Truffle, and in December, it acquired the Ethereum transaction relay service any. sender, two engineers will join the Infura team. At the same time, Infura also announced that it will add the Infura Transaction (ITX) function, which will simplify the transaction process sent by Ethereum and eliminate the complexity of developers dealing with gas fee management.
So far, the six product lines of ConsenSys have gradually become clear, namely:
- Codefi that provides a suite of blockchain applications for business and finance
- Diligence providing security audits for Ethereum smart contracts
- MetaMask, the most popular wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem
- Quorum, an open source blockchain platform for business
- Ethereum smart contract development tool Truffle
