Espresso Systems

About

Rollups today suffer from fragmented liquidity, slow settlement times, and siloed sequencers because they rely on infrastructure that wasn't designed for them. Espresso Systems exists to solve this fundamental problem by building the Espresso Network - the first base layer purpose-built from the ground up to give rollups what they've always needed but never had: fast, secure finality for transactions and seamless composability across all integrated chains. By providing real-time visibility into what's happening across multiple rollups, Espresso enables applications to execute crosschain interactions immediately without waiting for slow settlement or trusting centralized sequencers.

The Espresso Network is already live on mainnet and supports a growing ecosystem of over 20 chains, including established projects like Celo and ApeChain as well as emerging app-specific chains. Founded in 2020 by a team of Stanford PhD cryptographers, the company has raised over $60 million from leading investors including a16z, Sequoia Capital, Greylock, Electric Capital, and Polychain. Espresso's mission is to make all chains composable so they work together as one, unlocking the true potential of Web3 by enabling independent platforms to interoperate in real time through a shared source of truth while maintaining full control over their own execution environments.
