Espresso (ESP) Live Price and charts Today

Espresso is a decentralized base layer for fast finality and data availability to Ethereum L2 rollups.

Espresso is a decentralized base layer (shared sequencing + data availability network) purpose-built for Ethereum L2 rollups and app-specific chains, delivering seconds-long finality and secure cross-chain composability via HotShot PoS consensus and verifiable information dispersal (VID). It solves fragmentation by enabling real-time block confirmation, unified liquidity, and seamless interoperability without relying on slow L1 settlement or centralized sequencers. Stack/VM-agnostic (supports Arbitrum Nitro, OP Stack, etc.), it has processed production volumes post-mainnet launch and raised ~$60M from a16z, Sequoia, Polychain and others. The $ESP token secures the network through staking while powering fees, incentives, and governance-aligned growth.
