ConsenSys Chief Strategy Officer Simon Morris said Tuesday the Ethereum-focused firm has acquired the team and technology behind Truffle.
The acquisition represents a reunion of sorts. Truffle originated within ConsenSys in 2015 but spun out in 2019 to amass $3 million in an equity sale. Terms of the ConsenSys reintegration were not disclosed.
"As the most popular Ethereum development framework, it is a natural fit for Truffle to be part of the ConsenSys product stack," Truffle founder Tim Coulter said in a statement.
Notably, ConsenSys said the Truffle deal concludes the firm's strategic restructuring that kicked off in February and led to a 14% reduction in headcount.

Truffle's dev tooling now rounds out ConsenSys' portfolio of wholly owned tech products: DeFi-focused Codefi, audit provider Diligence, Ethereum wallet extension MetaMask, node farm Infura and enterprise-focused Quorum.
The Brooklyn, N.Y.-based conglomerate also maintains a venture arm called ConsenSys Labs.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

XRP-linked Ripple rolls out treasury platform after $1 billion GTreasury deal
New product lets companies manage cash, stablecoins and tokenized funds in one system, cutting cross-border settlement times from days to seconds.
What to know:
- Ripple has launched Ripple Treasury, an enterprise platform that lets companies manage traditional cash and digital assets in one system, following its $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury.
- The service uses Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin to move money across borders in three to five seconds, while integrating with existing treasury workflows to streamline liquidity and reduce idle capital.
- By connecting clients to overnight repo markets and tokenized money-market funds such as BlackRock’s BUIDL, Ripple aims to position itself as regulated institutional financial infrastructure rather than a crypto-only payments provider.
