要点前瞻：
·完成最新一轮融资后，ConsenSys 的估值超过 70 亿美元，比2021年11月完成2亿美元C轮融资时的估值增加一倍以上。 After completing the latest round of financing, the valuation of ConsenSys exceeded $7 billion, more than double the valuation when the $200 million C round of financing was completed in November 2021. ·今年1月，透过 MetaMask 存取Web3应用程式的每月活跃用户突破3000万，在4个月内增长了42%。 In January of this year, the monthly number of active users accessing Web3 applications through MetaMask passed 30 million, an increase of 42 per cent over a four-month period. ·Infura 是拥有43万名开发者的一流以太坊 (Ethereum)开发平台，在自家以太坊API的支援下，其年度以太币(ETH)链上交易额超过1兆美元。 Infura, a first-class Etherium development platform with 430,000 developers, with the support of its own API, traded more than $1 trillion annually in the Ether currency (ETH) chain. ·此轮融资将支持 ConsenSys 在全球聘雇超过600名新员工，并对更大规模以太坊生态系统的开发和工具研发进行持续的再投资。 This round of financing will support ConsenSys in hiring more than 600 new staff globally and in reinvesting continuously in larger-scale development of the Taiwan ecosystem and tool development. ConsenSys 宣布完成4.5亿美元的新一轮融资，公司评价超过70亿美元。本轮投资由曾参与ConsenSys 2021年11月C轮融资的ParaFi Capital领投，淡马锡(Temasek)、软银愿景基金第二期(SoftBank Vision Fund 2)、微软、Anthos Capital、Sound Ventures、C Ventures 等新投资者参投。此外，Third Point、Marshall Wace、TRUE Capital Management 和UTA VC（United Talent Agency旗下的创投基金）等曾参与C轮融资的投资者也参与了本轮投资。苏利文·克伦威尔律师事务所(Sullivan & Cromwell LLP) 在此次交易中担任ConsenSys 的法律顾问。 ConsenSys announced the completion of a new round of $450 million in financing, with companies evaluating more than $7 billion. This round of investments was led by ParaFi Capital, who was involved in the C round of ConsenSys financing in November 2021, and by investors who had been involved in the C rounds, such as Temasek, SoftBank Vision Fund II, Microsoft, Anthony Capital, Sound Ventures, CVentures, and others. In addition, Thord Point, Marshall Wallace, TRUE Capital Management, and UTA VC, who had been involved in the C rounds of finance. ConsenSys 是为下一波互联网浪潮--Web3开发基础软体的公司。其使命是使去中心化自治组织(DAO)、非同质化代币(NFT)和去中心化金融 (DeFi)普遍易于使用、存取和在其上建构应用，以释放不同社群的合作潜力。 ConsenSys is the company that developed the basic software for the next wave of the Internet, Web3. Its mission is to make decentralised autonomous organizations (DAOs), non-consistency tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finance (DeFi) generally accessible, accessible and built on them to unlock the potential for cooperation between different communities. 钱包 MetaMask 的崛起也说明了 Web3在全球加速普及。目前，该钱包的每月活跃用户(MAU)超过3,000万，在过去4个月内成长了42%。全球用户群依靠 MetaMask 铸造并收集NFT、加入DAO 并参与DeFi 协议。 MetaMask 最活跃的市场包括美国、菲律宾、巴西、德国和尼日利亚。 The rise of the wallet MetaMask also illustrates the accelerated global penetration of Web3. Currently, the wallet has over 30 million active users per month, and has grown 42% over the past four months. The global user community relies on MetaMask to forge and collect NFT, join DAO, and participate in the DeFi agreement. 本轮融资的所有收益将兑换为ETH，以根据ConsenSys 的资金策略，重新平衡ETH与美元等价物的比率。这将在以太坊即将过渡至权益证明 (Proof of Stake)之前，进一步增加ConsenSys的「超稳健货币」(ultra sound money)仓位。长期以来，ConsenSys 一直管理大量的ETH、稳定币和其他加密代币，并积极使用自家的MetaMask Institutional、Codefi Staking 等金融基础设施，透过DeFi协议和权益质押运作这些资产。 All proceeds from this round of financing will be converted to ETH in order to rebalance the ETH-US dollar equivalent in line with ConsenSys’ financial strategy. This will further increase ConsenSys’ “ultra sound money” warehouse before the upcoming transition to Proof of Stock. ConsenSys 创办人兼执行长Joseph Lubin 表示：「我认为ConsenSys 是去中心化协定生态系统的赋能机器，拥有广泛且深厚的能力，能够迅速、大规模地利用新出现的基本架构，如开发者工具、代币化、代币发行、钱包、安全审计、DeFi（1.0、2.0及以上）、NFT、桥接器、第2层扩容(Layer-2 scaling)、DAO 等。这一观点在D轮融资中引起了我们的加密货币原生投资者和成长型投资者的共鸣，将使我们能够执行强有力的成长策略。本轮融资吸收了数字资产和法定货币资产，我们将把这些资产立即兑换为ETH。下一轮融资将是我们的「ETH（以太币）轮」融资，届时我们将帮助投资者完全采取原生加密货币的模式，用ETH进行投资，作为持续性典范转移的象征及对该转变的承诺。 」 ConsenSys Founder and Executive Director Joseph Lubin said, "I think ConsenSys is an enabling machine for decentralizing the ecosystem, with extensive and deep capabilities, to make rapid and large-scale use of emerging basic structures, such as developers’ tools, monetization, currency issuance, wallets, security audits, DeFi (1.0, 2.0 and above), NFT, bridge connectors, 2nd layer (Layer-2 scaling), DAO, and so on. This view has given rise to a resonance in the D Round of finance between our encrypted currency raw and growing investors, which will enable us to implement a strong growth strategy. 本轮融资获得的资金还将用于支持MetaMask 的迅速扩张和重大重新设计，该项计划将于2022年稍晚公布，并将推出外挂程式可延展性系统，用于与各种区块链协议和帐户安全方案集成。此外，MetaMask 的扩张计划也建立在ConsenSys 近期收购 MyCrypto的基础上，此次收购使得MetaMask 能够进一步强化其业界一流的安全基础设施，并为其桌面端、行动端、延展端和浏览器端钱包创造具有凝聚力的用户体验。 In addition, the expansion plan for MetaMask is based on the recent acquisition of MyCrypto by ConsenSys, which has enabled MetaMask to further strengthen its industry-class security infrastructure and create a cohesive user experience for desktop end, end, extension and browser end wallets. ConsenSys 还将加速全球对Infura 套装开发工具的采用，并加速推动艺术家、内容创造者、品牌、智慧财产权所有者、游戏发行商和运动联盟采用 NFT。 ConsenSys will also accelerate the global adoption of the Infoura package development tool and the introduction of NFT by artists, content creators, brands, intellectual property rights owners, game distributors and sports coalitions. ConsenSys 目前拥有近700名全职员工，今年，公司将扩大招聘，计划在2022年底前将员工队伍规模扩大到1,000人以上。 ConsenSys 的核心目标是与Work180、CryptoChicks 和Black Women Blockchain Council 等组织合作，在多元化、公平性和包容性方面成为业界领导者。自2020年9月以来，ConsenSys 的员工性别均衡率已从19%提高到2021年12月的25%。公司的归属感得分也在持续上升，并在最新调查中达到91%。 ConsenSys 是推动向「社群时代」转型的主要力量。 」 ConsenSys’ central goal is to become a leader in the industry in terms of diversity, fairness, and inclusiveness. Since September 2020, ConsenSys’ gender balance has increased from 19% to 25% in December 2021. ParaFi Capital 创办人兼执行合伙人Ben Forman 表示：「ConsenSys 已经成为区块链领域最重要的公司之一。具体而言，每月有超过3,000万用户透过MetaMask 存取web3 和DeFi 应用程式，使其成为全球消费者和企业最广泛使用的区块链产品之一。作为ConsenSys 产品和服务的长期超级用户，ParaFi 很高兴能够在ConsenSys 不断引领去中心化基础设施发展的过程中，成为其投资者和思想伙伴。」 “ConsenSys has become one of the most important companies in the area of block chains. Specifically, more than 30 million users have access to Web3 and DeFi applications every month through MetaMask, making them one of the most widely used block chain products for consumers and businesses worldwide. As a long-term super-user of ConsenSys products and services, ParaFi is pleased to be an investor and intellectual partner in the process of increasingly leading ConsenSys towards the centralization of infrastructure development.” SoftBank Investment Advisers 投资者Neil Cunha-Gomes 表示：「我们很高兴能与Joe 和他的团队合作，帮助他们支援去中心化网路存取的使命。我们相信，ConsenSys 简单易用、中立和安全的Web3 产品生态系统将继续培养前所未有的用户参与度，我们很期待能够帮助ConsenSys 将Web3 采用率提升至更高水准。」 SoftBank Investment Investors Neil Cunha-Gomes says, "We're happy to work with Joe and his team to help them support their mission of access to the central network. We believe that ConsenSys' simple, neutral and safe Web3 product ecosystems will continue to foster unprecedented user participation, and we look forward to helping ConsenSys to raise Web3 adoption rates to higher levels."
