"Exclusive Interview with Espresso Founder Ben Fisch: Innovative Breakthroughs in Cross-Chain Communication and Rapid Finality Technology" Ben Fisch stated that Espresso is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically to serve Layer 2, not running smart contracts but functioning as a high-performance database. It provides second-level or even sub-second finality for multiple chains, enabling more efficient cross-chain communication and liquidity coordination. Its core technologies include consensus improvements based on HotStuff, efficiency enhancements through erasure coding, and trusted cross-chain messaging using zero-knowledge proofs or TEE. Espresso has already integrated with over 20 rollups, with its main value lying in the cross-chain composability enabled by rapid finality. On the token level, Ben emphasized that the core value of tokens comes from cash flow and network usage fees, rather than "monetary attributes." He believes that if Espresso becomes a key infrastructure between multiple chains, it will capture long-term value through network effects.
