As a new type of storage technology, IPFS is committed to changing the provision and use of traditional storage, and is an important breakthrough in the popularization of storage applications. At present, customers are in 8 provinces of China, and within three years will be all over Southeast Asia and out of China. The company is based in Anhui, China, serving the global storage market.
In the 2020 review report released by ConsenSys on December 26, ConsenSys has completely sorted out the current six business lines of ConsenSys, as well as the relevant results and data achieved in 2020.
As the largest commercial organization in the Ethereum ecosystem, ConsenSys has carried out drastic reforms this year to become a single integrated software company. Separate the previous investment and portfolio management activities from the software business, forming a new organization called ConsenSys Mesh, which is a supplementary entity to the independent ConsenSys software business.
At this point, the six product lines
of ConsenSys have gradually become clear. They are: 1) Codefi, which provides blockchain application suites for commerce and finance,
2) Diligence, which provides security audits for Ethereum smart contracts,
3) provides APIs for Ethereum and IPFS Infura
4) The most popular wallet MetaMask in the Ethereum ecosystem
5) Quorum, an open source blockchain platform for commercial services
6) Truffle, an Ethereum smart contract development tool
Ethereum and IPFS are complementary ecosystems for decentralized networks. Ethereum provides a guarantee for the implementation of protocols and decentralized transactions, while IPFS provides a distributed storage solution for data and information.
With the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, Ethereum developers can now access the new functional world to ensure that their data is stored securely in a decentralized and cost-effective manner. The cooperation between Protocol Labs and ConsenSys aims to develop and introduce developers, and consumers to easily use Filecoin's next-generation blockchain and new tools required by the market.
Through cooperation, ConsenSys will provide new features based on its full set of tools to promote the use of the Filecoin network. These tools will further enhance the integration of the respective builder, developer and end user communities of Ethereum, IPFS and Filecoin.
Among them, 1) Codefi is a blockchain application suite for business and finance.
Codefi Activate of ConsenSys promotes the launch and use of blockchain networks through the use of program tokens on a user-friendly platform. Currently, Filecoin Storage and Filecoin Defi Bridge have been launched to connect the Filecoin market to the Ethereum community. Filecoin Storage provides a web application and an API to easily search for storage prices on the Filecoin market, and Filecoin Defi Bridge enables users to convert their Filecoin (FIL) tokens to ERC-20 using the token bridge provided by Ren Protocol Tokenize FIL.
Data for 2020: The real estate fund tokenized on Codefi is USD 350 million.
2) Infura can provide API services for developers of Ethereum and IPFS.
For many years, ConsenSys has been leading the integrated IPFS distributed storage network to decentralize the financial and Ethereum ecosystem. In 2016, ConsenSys' Infura became the first product to provide an IPFS API, allowing anyone who builds applications on Ethereum to store data using the IPFS distributed protocol. Through this new collaboration, ConsenSys will help Filecoin embark on a similar growth and success trajectory. Infura now provides free, invitation-only access to certain users to access the new Filecoin API Beta. The Beta version will allow developers to easily access the Filecoin mainnet to build applications, services or functions on top of the Filecoin network.
2020 data: the highest number of API calls per day is close to 2.4 billion; Infura's IPFS service transmits 170 TB of data; more than 130,000 registered developers.
The collaboration between ConsenSys Labs and Protocol Labs integrates Filecoin and the Ethereum ecosystem to drive the next generation of networks. With these new features in the ConsenSys product suite, Filecoin miners, developers, and network users can seamlessly integrate with the Ethereum ecosystem.
In 2020, there are already 127 million addresses in the Ethereum network, and there are more than 3000 decentralized applications in the Ethereum network. In the future, the cooperation between Ethereum and IPFS will accelerate the ecological development of Ethereum and IPFS/Filecoin, and at the same time, promote the arrival of Web3.
