ConsenSys, the ethereum-focused venture studio, has just acquired Planetary Resources, a space venture hoping to mine asteroids.
Planetary Resources announced Wednesday that ConsenSys conducted an asset-purchase transaction, taking over the firm, with president and CEO Chris Lewicki and general counsel Brian Israel joining the ethereum-focused startup as a result. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The company, formed in 2012, was started in the goal of mining asteroids for resources.
