Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Web3Auth is now part of Consensys! When we first started in 2019, our mission was simple: to make digital ownership and identity accessible to everyone. Since then, we’ve grown to nearly 50 million end users, powering over 8,200 dApps across the Web3 ecosystem. Now, by joining forces with Consensys, we’re deepening our commitment to this mission by creating tighter synergies across MetaMask and MetaMask for Developers.
As we’ve scaled, we’ve partnered with leading Web2 brands and top Web3 applications to elevate the user experience for non-crypto natives and remove friction from wallet creation. Together with our vibrant developer community, we’ve continuously evolved our products to support a wide range of use cases — from powering McDonald’s NFTs collection and Fox.com’s Masked Singer community, to enabling Heroes of Mavia to achieve 100,000 wallet creations in under a week, and supporting nearly 1.5 million unique on-chain mints in six months for Animoca Brands’ Mocaverse. These milestones have only been possible with the continued support of our clients and partners. This journey has been guided by our core belief: secure, intuitive onboarding is essential to unlocking the full potential of decentralized applications.
Joining Consensys marks an exciting new chapter, built on a shared vision to make Web3 universally accessible. By bringing Web3Auth’s wallet capabilities into the heart of MetaMask, we aim to unlock a new paradigm of wallet connectivity and security for end users. Some initiatives that users and developers can look forward to include:
- Seamless onboarding: Powering a smoother, faster MetaMask onboarding experience with social logins, lowering the barrier to entry for new users
- Stronger account types: Introducing enhanced security features that leverage multi-party computation (MPC), multi-factor authentication (MFA) setups and beyond, offering stronger, more robust protection for their digital assets.
- Unlocking unique synergies between embedded wallets and MetaMask: Enabling smart accounts, streamlining wallet imports and redesigning how dApps interact with wallets end-to-end.
With Consensys, we’re laying the foundation for a new generation of secure, user-centric Web3 experiences and bringing us closer to onboarding the next billion users to Web3.
For developers, we are kickstarting the momentum today, by launching a unified dashboard with integrations across Consensys and Web3Auth’s ecosystem. These include direct Infura integration support, native smart accounts via MetaMask’s Delegation Toolkit and streamlined authentication via the MetaMask SDK. Looking ahead, broader support for non-EVM chains like Solana and Bitcoin will enable more seamless cross-chain development and expand access to MetaMask's millions of monthly active users.
The Web3Auth team has now fully transitioned into Consensys. While we are becoming part of a larger ecosystem, we will continue to operate as an independent brand within Consensys. We’re thankful for the continued trust of our clients, partners, and developer community. As we begin this next chapter, you can expect the same dependable support and continuity you’ve come to rely on. Our product roadmap remains aligned with our long-term vision, now further accelerated by Consensys’ infrastructure, resources, and reach.
This is just the beginning. We’re proud to join hands with Consensys to make wallet management as intuitive as any standard login and build a more seamless, secure, and unified Web3 experience for end users and developers alike.
