Consensys to Split MetaMask into Its Own Independent Company

Consensys is making a major change to its corporate structure by separating its famous crypto wallet, MetaMask, from its institutional and Ethereum infrastructure operations. The entire spin off process is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

Following the separation, the existing company will officially rebrand as MetaMask. Joe Lubin, a co founder of Ethereum and the current chief executive officer of Consensys, will continue to lead the newly formed MetaMask entity.

This move lets the wallet team focus completely on user products while infrastructure services grow on their own path. Traders and regular users should keep an eye on how this structural shift affects wallet updates and future features as the split date approaches.
