ConsenSys Acquisition of HAL Signals Acceleration of Core Product Suite Development

ConsenSys, a leading Ethereum software company, announced today its acquisition of HAL, a no-code blockchain development tooling platform that helps individuals and organizations query and automate blockchain data. HAL’s strong configurable webhooks and notification service will be used by Infura, ConsenSys’ Web3 API provider, to extend its capabilities in its developer stack.

The integration of HAL into Infura’s product suite will allow developers to create alerts and notifications at the protocol level for various signals. HAL’s blockchain data listening and automation platform provides automated workflow tools across email, Discord, Slack, Telegram, and Twitter. This acquisition will enable Infura to access more than 40 higher-level APIs for blockchain/on-chain listening and signals, and users can create “recipes” for notifications that can be helpful for their team or users.

Eleazar Galano, co-founder of Infura, said in a statement, “Enabling developers a seamless end-to-end experience is a key goal, and one of the most important trends is low code / no code solutions. HAL is a great fit for Infura as it allows users to access higher-level APIs for blockchain/on-chain listening and signals.”

ConsenSys aims to develop its core product suite and build better systems for a decentralized future, and the acquisition of HAL is a significant step towards that goal. The 10 talented HAL employees joining the ConsenSys team will bring their experience in low-code/no-code development solutions to bolster the Infura product suite.

The announcement comes just one year after ConsenSys acquired MyCrypto to team up with the market-leading Web3 wallet, MetaMask. The plan is for HAL to build on the user experience improvements that have come in the wake of the MyCrypto acquisition and enable MetaMask to offer a dynamic, personalized notification system, which should help drive engagement throughout the ecosystem.

“Since day one, we believed bridging Web3 and Web2 is paramount to improve blockchain user experience, reach less technical people, scale blockchain to mass adoption and fulfill the trustless, people-empowering Web3 vision we are all excited about,” said Marco De Rossi, President and co-founder at HAL. “Joining our efforts with ConsenSys is the way to tremendously accelerate the impact of HAL technology by bringing it to millions of users,” De Rossi added.

ConsenSys has been witnessing modularization, growth, and maturation of the Ethereum ecosystem over the past two years. The company continues to be on the lookout for strong acquisition opportunities and is actively tracking many of the most exciting projects in the space in niches like wallet security, account abstraction, various aspects of MEV, Layer 2 scalability, privacy, Web3 Components (e.g. identity, verifiable credentials, NFTs), and more.
