    Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin: SEC Wants to Create 'FUD', Push Crypto Offshore

    Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin has argued that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's recent series of enforcement actions directed at crypto firms is "intended to create FUD"—that is, "fear, uncertainty, and doubt"—in the industry. Speaking at the Financial Times Crypto and Digital Assets Summit, Lubin, whose firm Consensys recently revealed that it was sent a Wells Notice by the regulator, called its action "an attempt to paralyze us, or have us move off-shore." The regulator had, Lubin...

    Crypto Market Is ‘The Tail Being Wagged by a Very Sick Dog’: Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin

    The years-anticipated Ethereum merge from proof of work to proof of stake finally happened on September 15, and it went off without a hitch. The Ethereum network now uses 99% less energy. The merge went "what seems to be flawlessly," Joe Lubin, CEO of crypto software giant ConsenSys and a co-founder of Ethereum, told Decrypt in an exclusive video interview last week. "I've asked around in a bunch of different contexts for any awareness of anything that broke, and I haven't heard one thing." So,...

    Nearly $6 Billion in ETH Burned as Ethereum 2.0 Edges Closer

    Ethereum’s burn mechanism is hotter than ever, as crypto’s second-largest network has officially destroyed over 2 million ETH since the mechanism was introduced last August.  According to Watch the Burn, a dashboard monitoring the burn mechanism, the network has destroyed a total of 2,000,996 Ethereum since its inception. In dollar terms, that’s more than $5.82 billion removed from circulation forever.  Implemented in the London hard fork, EIP-1559, the technical name for the burn mechanism, was...

    Ethereum 2.0 Coming in Q2, 'Will Lay to Rest' Energy Concerns: Joe Lubin

    ConsenSys CEO and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin is still confident that the next era of Ethereum will arrive within the next few months.  In an interview with Decrypt last December in Miami, Lubin predicted Ethereum 2.0 would come "by Q2 or possibly slipping into Q3" of this year. Last week, during a fireside chat at the Camp Ethereal crypto event in Wyoming, Lubin stuck with that predicted timing.  "The merge is happening, surprisingly, on that same timeframe," said Lubin. "So my estimate stays...

    NFTs Are a ‘Profound Invention’ Says Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin

    Since exploding into the mainstream early last year, NFTs have been the buzziest thing in crypto. They’ve turned collectibles projects into burgeoning brands, pulled in celebrities and athletes, and generated $25 billion in trading volume in 2021 alone. While Ethereum has emerged as the largest platform for NFTs by far, co-founder Joe Lubin said on stage at last week’s Camp Ethereal 2022 conference that he’s been too busy running Ethereum software incubator ConsenSys to buy his own NFT collectib...

  • Ethereum's Infura Cuts Off Users to Separatist Areas in Ukraine, Accidentally Blocks Venezuela

    Editor's Note: This story has been revised from the original. The headline has been changed; the article clarifies MetaMask says it was defaulting to Infura servers but not blocking IP addresses; and it includes comments from ConsenSys about the affected regions. Venezuelan users of two major ConsenSys software products, MetaMask and Infura, found themselves all but cut off from the Ethereum network today, with many reporting they had been blocked from their wallets.

    ConsenSys Acquires MyCrypto, Plans to Merge It With Ethereum Wallet MetaMask

    ConsenSys, the Ethereum software incubator behind tools such as Infura and Truffle, is buying a mainstay of the Web 3 ecosystem. The company announced today it has acquired MyCrypto, a wallet interface for securely managing Ethereum addresses. The startup and its 12 employees will pair with ConsenSys' MetaMask, the most popular Ethereum wallet. (ConsenSys Mesh funds an editorially independent Decrypt.) Though nothing changes for users of either product in the immediate future, MyCrypto founder a...

    The 'Four Horses' of Crypto Adoption Are 'Galloping': Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin

    Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin closed out the Ethereal Virtual Summit last week by highlighting the progress the cryptocurrency industry had made towards mainstream adoption through four main avenues: blockchain, cryptocurrency, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and NFTs.  In a fireside chat with Decrypt CEO Josh Quittner, Lubin—who’s backed dozens of startups, including Decrypt—employed the popular marketing slogan "Crossing the Chasm," championed by author Geoffrey Moore in the book of the same...

    ConsenSys Lines Up Damien Hirst to Launch New NFT Art Protocol

    ConsenSys—the Ethereum studio behind MetaMask, Treum, and Infura—announced on Tuesday a new NFT protocol called Palm, along with an NFT studio for artists and others to spur the protocol’s development. (ConsenSys also funds an editorially independent Decrypt.) The first artist on board with Palm is Damien Hirst. NFTs are non-fungible tokens: blockchain-based collectibles that can be assigned to digital artworks (or any files) and treated as proof of ownership. They’ve been selling for eye-poppin...

    Ethereum Wallet MetaMask Goes After Institutional DeFi Market

    In the last year, Ethereum wallet and decentralized app browser MetaMask has introduced a mobile app, upgraded to a more privacy-centric version, and added token swaps to capitalize on the explosion of decentralized finance—the risky but oft-rewarding set of protocols that bypass centralized financial institutions. Now it wants to add something else: institutional users. Ethereum software firm ConsenSys, which provides funding for MetaMask (as well as for an editorially independent Decrypt), tod...

    ConsenSys Health seeks Web 3 ways to stop COVID-19

    It's a well-worn joke that working on Ethereum is like building the plane while it's mid-air. The same might be said of responding to the coronavirus pandemic. ConsenSys Health, the ConsenSys spin-off focused on using technology to improve the healthcare industry, announced today that it has put together the Stop COVID-19 Hackathon. The initiative is so fresh that—as of this morning—it's not yet taking sign-ups, though the event is scheduled to start April 13. (Disclosure: ConsenSys funds Decryp...

    Making MakerDAO more democratic

    MakerDAO is transferring control of its native currency, MKR, from the Maker Foundation to Maker Governance, it said. The token lets its holders vote on changes to its Protocol with a one-token, one-vote system. MKR can also be sold for the platform’s stablecoin, Dai, for outstanding debt; that helps keep its stablecoin and loan product running smoothly. MakerDAO, the four-year-old Santa Cruz, CA.-based blockchain company, is best known for producing the Dai stablecoin, a stablecoin that’s pegge...
