Ever wondered why official L2→L1 bridges take X days?

It's all about security. Third-party bridges like LayerZero are fast but rely on external oracles and relayers, introducing trust assumptions.

Zun breaks this down beautifully and shows how Espresso's HotShot Consensus changes the game:

-Security of official bridges
-Speed of third-party bridges
-Backed by validators — safe even if 1/3 go rogue.

Check out the simulation:
Experience the future of L2→L1 bridging.

Big props to Zun for the brilliant explanation.
