Espresso mainnet launched two years ago today and has produced ~31.7 million blocks since. The team has never stopped shipping improvements, cutting finality from ~10 seconds to ~400 milliseconds and increasing data throughput from 30 MB/s to 181 MB/s, enough to handle 1 million stablecoin transactions per second. From day one, we designed Espresso as a base layer for other chains, with no VM, no smart contracts, and none of the execution overhead a monolithic chain carries. That lean design is what made those performance gains possible. Real-time finality and that much throughput will matter more each month as AI agents start transacting at machine speed and post-quantum signatures, privacy proofs, and compliance data make transactions heavier. Every upgrade our team has shipped in the past two years has prepared Espresso for that future reality, which is arriving faster than most chains are ready for. Thank you to everyone building with us.
