Consensys splits operations to focus on MetaMask growth

Consensys is shaking things up by splitting its business into two separate entities. The move effectively pulls the popular wallet app MetaMask out from under the core Ethereum infrastructure operations.

This decision marks a shift in strategy for the firm. By separating the consumer side from the institutional blockchain business, each unit can focus on its own specific goals. MetaMask will continue to grow its reach with individual users, while the remaining infrastructure team will stay focused on building out Ethereum protocols.

Investors and users are watching this closely as it marks a turning point for one of the most influential companies in the space. Clarifying these business lines might help the team move faster on product updates and platform security. We expect more details on the transition to roll out as the new entities start their independent operations.
