What is Espresso
Espresso Network is a consensus layer purpose-built to support fast, secure cross-chain transactions. The Network provides confirmations to any chain that integrates with it, regardless of stack or settlement layer. These confirmations are secure enough for anyone to trust and fast enough for everyone to use. Espresso Network supports applications by providing:
Fast Confirmations: HotShot, Espresso’s consensus protocol, confirms transactions within seconds with the same security guarantees as Ethereum.
Decentralized Sequencing: 100 nodes run the Espresso Network today, allowing rollups to opt into having their transactions sequenced by this decentralized group instead of a centralized sequencer.
Low-Cost DA: Espresso provides a cheaper alternative to Ethereum for data availability, improving scalability while maintaining strong availability guarantees.
