Since before the launch of Ethereum v1.0, ConsenSys has actively built and supported the development of the Ethereum blockchain and related protocols, technologies and decentralized applications (dapps) that enable or are built around the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM). Our commitment to these technologies and to the specific dominant instance of these technologies, called Ethereum (ETH), is unwavering and our development efforts are unhindered. The vast majority of companies and technical contributors in our space have expressed similar commitment. We continue to strongly support the Ethereum Foundation and praise their balanced, open minded and thoughtful approach to decision making and public statements.



We imagine a future in which multiple blockchains coexist and cooperate. The BTCRelay technology, for example, enables a smart contract on Ethereum to validate transactions on other blockchains. The Bitcoin version of this is live on the Ethereum mainnet (listed on exchanges as ETH) and we are building other bridges to other blockchains.



We value the synergies and positive network effects of having many applications on one singleton instance: the Ethereum World Computer. Most of our dapps interoperate with one or more other dapps and therefore the ConsenSys ecosystem of dapps will be deployed on the Ethereum mainnet (ETH).



ConsenSys respects the opinions and philosophies of all productive groups in the blockchain ecosystem and we are committed to fostering and participating in constructive discussion and exploration of this massive solution space that we are all privileged to work in. We are particularly honored to be amongst and aligned with the group of global thought leaders and deep domain experts that count themselves part of The Ethereum Project.
