Espresso would’ve saved me that night.

I was bridging from Arbitrum to Ethereum.

The UI said “confirmed,” but nothing showed up.

XX minutes… 20… nearly XX minutes later, it finally landed.

Turns out, the rollup sequencer lied.

It wasn’t final.

It was just a soft, reversible promise.

But that is the problem Espresso solves.

With HotShot their BFT consensus layer,

confirmations are real, slashable, and fast.

Once HotShot locks it in, it is done.

No reorgs.

No waiting on Ethereum to give the green light.

Even better?

HotShot is shared across chains so apps and bridges don’t have to second guess each other.

In case you've been wondering, that’s why I’m betting on Espresso.
