Let me break down the terminologies of ESPRESSO;

Core Concepts in Web3 & Espresso's Context
  1...Finality

   ▶️Simple: Finality — means a transaction is permanent, no take-backs.

   ▶️Elaborated: It means it's irreversible and permanently recorded on the ledger. No one, not even a powerful attacker, can change or delete it.

   ▶️L1 Finality: This is the ultimate security. Once a transaction is "finalized" on the main Ethereum chain, it's considered immutable. However, it can take minutes (e.g., ~13 minutes for Ethereum) for this to happen.

   ▶️Rollup Finality: Rollups inherit security from L1, but they need their own mechanisms to confirm transactions quickly before L1 finality.

2...Confirmation Layer (Espresso's Global Confirmation Layer):

   ▶️Simple: Confirmation Layer — a neutral layer that helps chains agree on what’s true."

   ▶️Elaborated: Think of it as a super-fast, unbiased notary service for multiple blockchains (especially L2s).

3...HotShot (Consensus Protocol):

   ▶️Simple: HotShot is the super-fast voting system that the can make the Confirmation Layer uses to quickly agree on transaction order.

   ▶️Elaborated: It's the engine behind Espresso's Confirmation Layer. And is a specific type of consensus algorithm (like a very efficient, decentralized voting process) designed to.

🔹Achieve fast confirmation: It can confirm transaction batches in a few seconds (<10s), much faster than L1 finality.

🔹Be decentralized: It involves many different nodes (validators) participating in the "voting," preventing any single entity from controlling transaction ordering or censoring.

🔹Be Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT): This means it can still function correctly even if some of the participating nodes are malicious or fail.

🔹@EspressoSys  goal is to allow Ethereum validators to restake their ETH to secure HotShot, further aligning its security with Ethereum.
