What is Consensus?

Since its inception in 2015, Consensus has evolved beyond a mere event; it serves as the annual congregation for the blockchain community. This is where the most influential voices in blockchain, Web3, and AI converge to propel innovation forward.

In 2025, Consensus will host its flagship event in Toronto, the birthplace of the world’s first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Toronto, recognized as North America’s third-largest tech ecosystem and second-largest financial hub, is the perfect backdrop for uniting global innovation with transformative technology leadership.

Built on CoinDesk’s commitment to independent and unbiased journalism, Consensus Toronto will interlace breakthrough technologies, from digital assets to artificial intelligence, fostering the collaborations that will define the future.
