Consensys - Building the Era of Decentralized Finance

2 min read Original article ↗

Consensys is leading the transition to Decentralized Finance. We connect people and markets through distributed, open-source blockchains.

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A NEW GLOBAL ECONOMY

Our financial system is ready for its broadband moment: we build the software and infrastructure to enable it.

The internet revolutionized communication, yet every year trillions in value still flows through legacy centralized systems that take 2–5 days to settle.

Consensys is rebuilding the financial stack from consumer wallets, to institutional settlement, to the global infrastructure layer for digital value.

We call this stack trustware.
