🧵 Espresso’s Global Confirmation Network: A Game Changer for Rollups & Cross-Chain Apps ☕⛓️@espressosys

Ethereum’s interoperability layer ☕️ Espresso is the fast finality protocol powering secure crosschain confirmations for rollups

I wanna be the very best like no one ever was

1/ Today, rollups rely on centralized sequencers for pre-confirmations, leaving them vulnerable to hacks & equivocation. Espresso’s Global Confirmation Network changes the game. Here's how: 👇

2/ Powered by HotShot, a high-speed BFT consensus, Espresso provides secure & fast transaction confirmations—within seconds! 🚀

3/ Chains sharing the Global Confirmation Network gain certainty about eventual L1 finality before settlement on Ethereum. No more reordering tricks from sequencers! ⏳🔒

6/ If an attacker tries to break safety, their stake gets slashed. Espresso isn’t just fast—it’s economically robust. 🚧💰

5/ How secure is HotShot?
✅ Confirmation guarantees mirror Ethereum L1.
✅ Reverting a confirmed transaction requires control of 1/3 of the stake.
✅ With restaking, security can approach Ethereum L1 over time.

4/ This is HUGE for bridges & multi-chain apps. Instead of waiting ~15 minutes for rollup transactions to finalize on Ethereum, HotShot allows bridging in mere SECONDS—with Ethereum-level security guarantees. 🌉⚡
