Most rollups still rely on centralised sequencers that make users wait 15+ mins for safe confirmations. It becomes a risk at that point and is just too slow. @EspressoSys gives you finality in seconds. Here’s how their model works 🧵👇
3/ Why does this matter though? Bridges. Bridges today wait 15+ minutes to be sure a tx doesn’t get reorged. With @EspressoSys, bridges can confirm transactions in seconds, making cross-rollup UX feel instant (and more safe)
4/ The benefits Rollups can still run their own sequencers But with @EspressoSys they gain: - Instant confirmation guarantees - Protection against sequencer issues - Stronger safety for intent-based systems
5/ Hotshot @EspressoSys uses “HotShot” to sequence transactions across multiple chains. Each tx is tagged by chain ID → grouped → sequenced → then confirmed. This allows no one to front-run or double-play across rollups.
6/ Why espresso? This isn’t just for confirmations. @EspressoSys are also building a low-cost data layer and proper sequencing infra. It’s a full upgrade for rollups altogether.
