Espresso staking is officially live. As part of the genesis validator set, Lunar Capital is ready to accept delegations from day one, giving ESP holders a trusted infrastructure partner to secure the network and earn rewards.

Today marks a turning point for modular blockchain infrastructure: Espresso's mainnet goes live, bringing decentralized sequencing to L2s and applications across the ecosystem, replacing centralized sequencers with cryptographic guarantees.

As a genesis validator, Lunar Capital offers ESP holders battle-tested infrastructure, transparent operations, and long-term commitment to the network's success.

Why Espresso Matters

Espresso introduces decentralized sequencing for the modular era, developed by a team with deep Stanford cryptography roots. Its core capabilities:

  • HotShot Consensus: Designed to scale to thousands of nodes while maintaining sub-second finality under optimistic conditions.
  • Tiramisu Data Availability: A three-layered DA system enabling higher throughput without bottlenecking on execution.
  • Credibly neutral ordering: Only Espresso-confirmed blocks settle on Ethereum, replacing trust in centralized sequencers with cryptographic guarantees.
  • MEV resistance: Transparent ordering reduces front-running and hidden extraction across integrated chains.

For stakers, this is infrastructure staking that secures not just one chain, but the ordering layer for entire application ecosystems.
