About Web3 Labs

The journey of Web3 Labs started in 2016. 

The company founder, Conor Svensson, was keen to explore opportunities with new technology after a fintech venture into the Australian homes market and started to research blockchain technology back in 2016.

He came across Ethereum and believed that it had the potential to disrupt the technology sector much like Linux did back in the 2000s. 

During his research he found that there were limited ways that users could integrate with the platform and he created the open-source library — Web3j, which connected the Java Virtual Machine and Android smartphone platform to work with Ethereum. 

The company started to explore new development opportunities and assess the applicability of blockchain technology in the equipment finance domain. As a result we were able to build the blockchain Explorer — Chainlens which addressed the challenge of  visualising information stored on private blockchains. 

Since then Web3 Labs has had the privilege of working with clients such as Microsoft, J.P Morgan, R3, ConsenSys and Vodafone.
