Consensys

Consensys is a leading Ethereum software company founded in November 2014 by Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, Consensys builds the infrastructure and tools that power the transition to decentralized finance (DeFi). The company has been instrumental in Ethereum's development from before the genesis block through every major protocol upgrade, including The Merge to proof-of-stake, Dencun, and Pectra.

Core Institutional Offerings

Consensy's B2B and institutional product suite centers on Consensys Staking, a secure, non-custodial staking infrastructure platform built for institutions. The platform hosts over 33,000 Ethereum validators (approximately 4% of all Ethereum validators), with over $2 billion in ETH staked, a 99.9%+ validator participation rate, and zero slashing events. The service holds SOC 2 Type II certification and operates distributed infrastructure across multiple regions and cloud providers.

The institutional staking offering includes multiple access points: the Consensys Staking API enables organizations to integrate staking directly into their applications via a single API, while the MetaMask Institutional Staking Marketplace allows organizations to stake ETH directly from the leading enterprise-grade Web3 wallet.
