The traditional Big Four accounting giants are making a major push into Web3! Deloitte announced on Tuesday that it has absorbed the team of the well-known crypto infrastructure company Blocknative through an "acqui-hire," and will focus on driving Web3 innovation for Deloitte's clients going forward. Meanwhile, Blocknative's official website also released a farewell statement, announcing that the company is about to cease operations, with its API and Gas Network services officially coming to an end on June 19. (Background: Deloitte survey: 99% of CFOs are seeking long-term use of cryptocurrency to revolutionize traditional business structures) (Context: USDC issuer Circle to hire Big Four accounting firm Deloitte to audit Proof of Reserves (PoR)) The infrastructure track of the crypto industry is undergoing a wave of fierce reshuffling and consolidation, while traditional financial and professional services giants are seizing the opportunity to massively absorb top Web3 development talent. According to the latest announcement released on Tuesday, Deloitte, one of the world's Big Four accounting firms, has completed an "acqui-hire" of crypto infrastructure company Blocknative. Deloitte stated that the newly joined team will focus on "driving Web3 innovation applications within Deloitte's client base" in the future. Veteran Infrastructure Provider Blocknative Bows Out While being absorbed by Deloitte, Blocknative has also officially announced the end of the company's operations. Currently, Blocknative's official website has been replaced with a notice of termination of operations, indicating that the company is undergoing a phased shutdown process. Officially, its core API services and Gas Network will continue to operate until June 19, after which they will be taken offline entirely. Founded in 2018, Blocknative is a well-known blockchain infrastructure provider in the industry, with its main business covering: - Real-time Mempool monitoring: Helping developers and institutions track on-chain transaction dynamics that have not yet been confirmed. - Gas fee prediction and transaction management: Providing precise API tools to optimize on-chain transaction efficiency. - Decentralized Gas Network: Serving as a decentralized oracle network, providing real-time Gas pricing data. Blocknative CEO Matt Cutler emotionally stated in the farewell announcement: "Our journey in the ecosystem is about to come to an end: covering mempool visibility, transaction orchestration, block building, MEV auctions, private order flow, and transaction pricing. These achievements were shaped jointly by our customers, protocol teams, wallet developers, researchers, and institutions pursuing better solutions." Crypto Industry Consolidation Wave vs. Traditional Institutions Entering the Market It is currently unclear whether "all" Blocknative employees will transfer to Deloitte, but this acquisition deeply reflects two major trends in the current crypto market. On one hand, the crypto ecosystem is experiencing a brutal "wave of consolidation." Many small and medium-sized projects lacking stable business models or facing funding pressure, and even core infrastructure providers (such as the recently shut-down DAO governance platform Tally), have announced layoffs or directly terminated operations. On the other hand, large traditional enterprises are accelerating their expansion of influence in the crypto field. Taking Deloitte as an example, the company has actively expanded its Web3 business in recent years, and currently provides crypto enterprises with a range of professional enterprise services including accounting, auditing, and compliance consulting. By absorbing the Blocknative team this time, Deloitte will undoubtedly further strengthen its hard power in blockchain underlying data and technology consulting.
