Espresso Mainnet Celebrates Two Years with Confirmation Time Reduced to 400 ms and Throughput Increased to 181 MB/s

Espresso mainnet has been live for two years, producing approximately 31.7 million blocks. Through multiple upgrades, the final confirmation time for transactions has been reduced from about 10 seconds to approximately 400 milliseconds, and the data throughput has increased from 30 MB/s to 181 MB/s, sufficient to support one million stablecoin transactions per second. Espresso is designed as a foundational layer for other chains, excluding virtual machines and smart contracts to avoid the execution overhead of monolithic chains. This performance improvement is attributed to this streamlined design. As AI agents trade at machine speeds, and with post-quantum signatures, privacy proofs, and compliance data increasing transaction sizes, real-time finality and high throughput are becoming increasingly important.
