Jun 2, 2025 · Web3Auth, a leading non-custodial authentication infrastructure for Web3 applications, today announced it has joined ConsenSys, the leading blockchain and Web3 software company. This strategic move aims to accelerate the mass adoption of Web3 by integrating Web3Auth's seamless onboarding and key management solutions directly into the heart of MetaMask, the world's leading self-custodial wallet.
Since its inception in 2019, Web3Auth has been on a mission to make digital ownership and identity universally accessible. With nearly 50 million end users and powering over 8,200 dApps across the Web3 ecosystem, Web3Auth has become a critical component for projects seeking to onboard non-crypto natives and remove friction from wallet creation. Notable partnerships include enabling McDonald’s NFT collection, Fox.com’s Masked Singer community, and helping Heroes of Mavia achieve 100,000 wallet creations in under a week, alongside supporting nearly 1.5 million unique on-chain mints for Animoca Brands’ Mocaverse.
"Joining ConsenSys marks an exciting new chapter, built on a shared vision to make Web3 universally accessible," stated a representative from Web3Auth. "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."
This integration will bring several key benefits:
- Seamless Onboarding: A smoother, faster MetaMask onboarding experience with social logins, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for new users.
- Enhanced Security: Introduction of stronger account types leveraging Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) setups, and beyond, offering more robust protection for digital assets.
- Unique Synergies: Enabling smart accounts, streamlining wallet imports, and redesigning how dApps interact with wallets end-to-end through embedded wallets and MetaMask.
For developers, this acquisition kickstarts momentum with the immediate launch of a unified dashboard, offering integrations across ConsenSys and Web3Auth’s ecosystem. This includes 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, expanding access to MetaMask's millions of monthly active users.
Web3Auth's technology provides a pluggable, non-custodial authentication infrastructure that removes the need for seed phrases and standardizes key management through MPC and Account Abstraction (AA). This approach enhances accessibility for both mainstream and crypto-native users while maintaining security and decentralization. The Web3Auth team has fully transitioned into ConsenSys and will continue to operate as an independent brand, ensuring dependable support and continuity for its clients, partners, and developer community.
This collaboration is a significant step towards onboarding the next billion users to Web3, making wallet management as intuitive as any standard login and building a more seamless, secure, and unified Web3 experience for end users and developers alike.
