ETHEREUM 2.0
Ethereum Upgrades
From the genesis block, ConsenSys has helped to build and democratize Ethereum. We believe that through decentralized networks like Ethereum humankind can achieve more, and we’ve contributed our people, products and resources to help drive its evolution.
More scalable
Investing in Layer 1 and Layer 2 upgrades to support 1000s of transactions per second and make dapps faster and cheaper to use
More secure
Formal verification of core protocol changes and helping to scale the staking mechanism needed to secure and decentralize Ethereum
More sustainable
Defining, testing and supporting the transition to Proof of Stake
From the launch of Ethereum, ConsenSys was formed with the goal to be the strongest force for decentralization on the planet. ConsenSys researchers, protocol developers, client teams and cryptographers from around the globe have contributed to nearly every major Ethereum milestone.
