Get to Know the 47 Projects that Make Up the ConsenSys Mesh

An infographic overview of the platforms, services, developer tools, and infrastructural projects of the ConsenSys ecosystem.

ConsenSys is growing — and fast. With over 600 members spread from New York to London, Bucharest, Dubai, Singapore, and beyond, the ConsenSys mesh is building the foundations of a blockchain-enabled global economy, and approaching the challenge from nearly every angle conceivable.

The spoke-and-hub model that ConsenSys uses to organize its ever-flowing and ever-growing global formation of developers, entrepreneurs, creatives, lawyers, and technologists grows and morphs with a fluidity that makes it near impossible to keep up with everything that’s going on for the casual observer.

With that in mind, here’s an overview of the platforms, applications, services, core components, developer tools, and infrastructural projects that make up the ConsenSys mesh, and some insight as to the goals of each:

//Platforms and Applications

ConsenSys platforms and applications range from re-imaginations of foundational industries like supply chain (Viant), energy (Grid+), journalism (Civil) and law (OpenLaw), to cornerstones of the digital asset economy (Airswap, Balanc3), and groundbreaking dApps like Ujo, Gitcoin, Bounties.Network, and Gnosis that provide real utility, create value, and are leading the way towards global, decentralized economies.

//Services

ConsenSys Services provide consultation and enable partnerships in fields that run the gamut from tech to enterprise, government, education, community, and media. Some examples: The Brooklyn Project provides a platform for establishing best practices for consumer protection in the token economy, while Token Foundry spins up exceptionally engineered token launches from around the world. ConsenSys’ series of Ethereal Summit events has emerged as one of the premier meeting-places for the blockchain community, while ConsenSys Academy is training the next generation of blockchain developers and technologists. ConsenSys Ventures operates as an investment wing, while the Blockchain for Social Impact coalition is striving towards innovations that create a better world.

//Core Components, Developer Tools, Infrastructure

At the heart of ConsenSys is a host of infrastructural projects that underpin much of the Ethereum network. MetaMask, an Ethereum web browser extension, recently celebrated one million installs, while Infura directs over 6 billion traffic requests a day through the Ethereum network. The Truffle suite of developer tools has been utilized by over 250,000 developers, and uPort is poised to establish self-sovereign identity as an essential feature of the blockchain era. And keep an eye out for Alethio, a blockchain network analytics dashboard that will launch in the very near future…

Discussed above are just some of the projects that make up the ConsenSys mesh, and the infographic does not include the remarkably talented design and creative minds that give ConsenSys its identity and voice, the Community team that connects the dots of the blockchain world, and the People Team that grows the mesh with bright minds on a daily basis.

Every single ConsenSys project is a groundbreaking endeavor in its own right and worth learning more about, and there are new initiatives and partnerships announced almost every week.
