Perfectly paired with Ethereum

HotShot, our consensus protocol, scales to tens of thousands of nodes while maintaining strong performance to enable participation of Ethereum’s full validator set.

Scale without Compromise

HotShot's optimistic responsiveness guarantees fast transaction finality and throughput limited only by network bandwidth.

Interoperability

The Espresso Sequencer, shared across multiple rollups, makes cross-chain messaging and bridging cheaper, faster, and safer.

The Espresso Sequencer helps:

L2 Rollups

Accelerate your decentralization roadmap, inherit security from Ethereum, and interoperate more reliably with other rollups.

End users

No compromises. High performance, low (and fair) fees, a diversity of applications, and no lock-in.

App Developers

Offer app developers more reliable and neutral infrastructure. No more single points of failure.

Espresso Sequencer is expertly crafted to energize the entire Ethereum ecosystem. Here is what it looks like in practice:

Payments

Transaction data can be selectively disclosed, ensuring sensitive information is kept confidential and regulatory compliance is met.
A stablecoin provider can issue privacy-preserving tokens, allowing for secure and private transactions between counterparties.

Lending with Hidden Liquidation Levels

Invest knowing your liquidation levels are kept private. With CAPE's privacy-preserving tokens, lending platforms can now offer hidden liquidation levels for their users, ensuring that they can maintain their privacy and avoid unwanted scrutiny. Read more about how CAPE is transforming the lending landscape in our case study.

Privacy Pools

By creating private sub-pools within a larger pool, CAPE enables the selective sharing of transaction details with only the necessary parties, keeping sensitive information confidential. Discover how CAPE can provide added privacy and security for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and exchanges.
