Unfortunately, blockchains and cryptoassets are still too complicated for most people to use in everyday applications. Companies like ConsenSys want to change this. Its headquarters are in New York, and since 2016 the company also has a foundation in Zug, in this building right here. The founder of ConsenSys is Joe Lubin, another co-founder of Ethereum.
ConsenSys is one of the first companies to advocate for the wide application of Ethereum in many different industries. To achieve mainstream adoption, the company develops wallets such as Metamask and other tools that facilitate the development of decentralized apps (DApps) and smart contracts. ConsenSys has partnerships with major banks and software companies like Microsoft to test their technology in the real world.
