Marketplace

The Espresso Marketplace allows chains to connect with block builders that bid for the right to order transactions in a given timeslot, enabling chains to maximize revenue. These block builders can act as shared sequencers, offering enhanced cross-chain composability to app developers and their users.

Interoperate at scale

Espresso powers interoperability across chains, from efficient bridging to atomic transactions. Developers and users benefit from seamless interactions while maintaining scale and security.

Revenue creation and capture

Espresso provides a free, open market for sequencing - driving the best outcome for all parties. As a mechanism for chains to coordinate on transaction ordering, Espresso helps chains create value for their users -- and capture that value for their ecosystems.

Web2 performance,
Web3 security

Espresso is a decentralized system that will scale to tens of thousands of nodes while maintaining strong performance. High throughput, low latency to deliver what developers need.

We're building for:

Infra

Espresso provides new lines of revenue for infrastructure providers like block builders that bid on the Espresso Marketplace and node operators that secure the Espresso Network.

How Espresso Works

Capture Value

Chains sell the right to sequence transactions for their system, increasing the potential value they can capture for their ecosystems.

Stay Sovereign

Chains can opt in and out of the Espresso Marketplace for any given timeslot. Chains can also set a minimum price that must be met by the marketplace.

Fast Finality

The Espresso Network provides fast finality to the chains that it fuels, offering faster bridging experiences and beyond.
