Decrypt Media is an independent media company and creative studio founded in 2018.

It focuses on journalism, education, and analysis of emerging technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), and culture. Co-founded by Josh Quittner, Ilan Hazan, and Ryan Bubinski, Decrypt was incubated within ConsenSys Mesh until 2022, when it became independent after raising $10 million in funding. The company operates a newsroom staffed by professional journalists who cover a wide range of topics, including business, politics, art, culture, technology, and blockchain-related news. Decrypt aims to demystify the decentralized web and its impact on society, providing informative and educational content. It highlights both successful innovations and challenges in the tech space, while also profiling entrepreneurs and projects that promote positive social impact. Decrypt integrates Web3 and AI technologies into its operations, enhancing its content delivery and user experience. In December 2023, Decrypt announced plans to collaborate with Rug Radio to build a decentralized media network that benefits content creators and consumers.
