Espresso Systems

Blockdaemon offers institutional-grade Espresso infrastructure with Staking services, Sequencer Nodes and Data Availability Nodes.

What is Espresso Systems

Espresso Systems is building a global confirmation layer built to support cross-chain composability in a multi-chain world. Espresso confirmations lay the foundation for all chains to work together as one. An ecosystem in which any contract can call any other. Any user can access any application. Liquidity from one application can flow seamlessly to others. And contributions improve the platform as a whole, not a silo within it.
