ConsenSys, the blockchain software company behind MetaMask, Infura and the Linea network, is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) and has selected JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs as underwriters. The listing would mark one of the most significant public market debuts by a firm building core infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem.
ConsenSys plays a central role in Ethereum’s developer and user stack. MetaMask is one of the most widely used self-custody wallets for interacting with decentralized applications, while Infura provides node and API services that power numerous Web3 projects and applications. Linea is the company’s Layer-2 network designed to scale Ethereum using zero-knowledge technology.
The choice of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs underscores the growing engagement of major Wall Street banks with digital asset companies entering public markets. Underwriters typically help structure the deal, set an offering price range, and market shares to institutional investors ahead of a listing.
ConsenSys has not publicly disclosed the potential size, timing, or exchange venue for the offering. The move comes as crypto-focused companies increasingly seek access to public capital markets following several market cycles and a maturing regulatory and infrastructure landscape. In recent years, ConsenSys has expanded its product suite across developer tools, wallets, and scaling solutions, and previously raised significant venture funding, including a 2022 round that valued the company in the multibillion-dollar range.
An IPO would provide ConsenSys with additional resources to scale its infrastructure, broaden enterprise partnerships, and accelerate development across its wallet, developer, and Layer-2 offerings.
Conclusion
If completed, the IPO would be a milestone for Ethereum-native infrastructure, signaling renewed public market appetite for crypto technology providers. Further details on timing and valuation are expected to emerge as the listing process advances.
