Ethereum’s ‘Trustware’ Era Could Push ETH to $15.8K, Says Consensys
The post Ethereum’s ‘Trustware’ Era Could Push ETH to $15.8K, Says Consensys appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Ethereum nears its 10th anniversary, blockchain company Consensys is proposing a new way to think about the network’s role in the global economy: as critical infrastructure for what it calls a “trustware” era. According to Consensys, Ethereum is evolving beyond a smart contract platform into a foundational layer for verifiable, programmable trust in financial systems and beyond. While the concept remains speculative, Consensys points to Ethereum’s growing share of tokenized assets, stablecoins and decentralized finance as early signals of that shift, further predicting that demand for Ether (ETH) could rise sharply in the coming years. Jason Linehan, chief strategy officer at Consensys, spoke to Cointelegraph about the network’s “cost-to-corrupt” model, a framework he says could help drive ETH to new highs. Trustware: Ethereum’s next identity While not often discussed or measured, trust is behind nearly every economic interaction. According to Consensys, the global economy spends over $9.3 trillion annually on trust infrastructure in insurance, legal systems, auditors, compliance, notaries and go-betweens. The digital era has enabled a new form of trust — borderless, transparent and enforced by code, allowing strangers to transact with mathematical certainty. Consensys calls this “trustware.” “Trustware is a new way to talk about the incredible value that Ethereum is already bringing to the economy,” Linehan told Cointelegraph. “Value that has been built block by block over the past 10 years through the effort of organizations like the Ethereum Foundation, Consensys, and the global Ethereum developer community.” As traditional financial institutions recognize the efficiency and value of this type of trust infrastructure, Consensys argues that demand for Ethereum will rise accordingly, driving long-term growth in the value of ETH.
