In virtually every area, Ethereum, the largest smart contract blockchain protocol in the world, seems to be growing at an exponential rate.
According to Joseph Lubin, the co-creator of Ethereum and the founder of ConsenSys, a blockchain software studio based in New York that houses 1,000 developers:
“Blockchain is more than a market. It’s a movement. Market cap doesn’t refleft (sic) activity. Decentralized networks are growing. 10 billion daily API requests served by Infura. 1 million Truffle downloads. 1 million MetaMask downloads. 12,000 live Ethereum nodes. 48 million unique Ethereum addresses. 3 times LinkedIn blockchain job openings.”
Truffle, Infura, MetaMask, Nodes, JobsEthereum’s three major products Truffle, Infura, and MetaMask, often called “TIM” by the community, serve as the backbone of the infrastructure surrounding the asset.
Truffle is an Ethereum blockchain development framework that allows developers to build blockchain products. Infura is a node infrastructure that processes requests on popular applications. MetaMask is the most widely utilized Ethereum and ERC20 wallet, which runs on Infura.
On November 4, it was reported that the three blockchain tools achieved major milestones. MetaMask launched a mobile client, Truffle secured one million downloads, and Infura surpassed 10 billion requests.
Despite the bear market during which Ethereum lost 92 percent of its value from its peak on January 13, the user base of the blockchain protocol has increased substantially and the infrastructure supporting the ecosystem has strengthened quite noticeably.
