Problem
Developers and enterprises building decentralized applications face high complexity and cost when accessing blockchain networks, while end users lack a simple, secure way to manage digital assets and interact with on‑chain services.
Solution
Consensys provides an integrated “trustware” stack that combines consumer wallets, developer infrastructure, and protocol clients to streamline on‑chain interactions. MetaMask offers a self‑custodial wallet enabling millions of users to send, trade, earn, and pay across hundreds of networks with built‑in security and optimized routing. Infura delivers scalable, high‑availability API endpoints so developers can read and write to Ethereum and other blockchains without operating their own nodes. Additional protocol clients such as Teku, Besu, and the Linea Layer‑2 network supply enterprise‑grade consensus and execution services, while the MetaMask Developer SDK and Connect SDK let third‑party apps embed wallet functionality directly. Together, these components convert user and application intent into authorized, routed, executed, and settled on‑chain transactions, reducing operational overhead and accelerating decentralized finance adoption.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individual crypto users and developers building decentralized applications, as well as enterprises and institutions requiring reliable blockchain infrastructure and staking services.
