those who are feeling sleepy, pay attention to @EspressoSys. why? > Espresso is a base layer with BFT, fast finality, and native DA > acts as a confirmation layer = guarantees blocks won’t revert > rollups get finality and DA (still using their own sequencers) > validators finalize L2 blocks via shared DA > serves as an independent layer supporting rollups > settlement stays on Ethereum, finality is handled here and also: > Espresso mainnet is live... and: > originally focused on shared sequencing, but the strategy shifted > reason: most L2s aren’t ready to give up control over sequencing > decentralized BFT consensus network, flexible by design > shared sequencing focus will came back only if real demand appears > even without it, delivers secure decentralized confirmations i love that Espresso understands what the market needs and adapts accordingly. some extra random points: > afaik, they didn’t pay for kaito votes = still won > strong backers, one round led by @a16z (always bullish point for me) > community orientired @anoma also invested at Series B > stats looking gud: tge might loading... and based on what many airdrop farmers said = Espresso don’t have many major activities to reward community. 1 of 2 ways rn = their NFT collection. supply = 5,000 potential upside = FDV × % / 5,000 example for 1 NFT (FDV = 300m-700m): 1% = $600-$1,400 3% = $1,800-$4,200 5% = $3,000-$7,000 and so on what to know about the collection? > composables = the visual manifesto of the espresso network > each NFT is a modular identity, just like the network’s architecture > mint was phased and fair = contribution first, access later. > launch on @rarible (most community-focused projects choosing it) > RARI Chain was the first L2 integrated with Espresso > NFTs will move freely across chains (no bridging required) floor’s been around 0.357 ETH for a while. if a decision is to be made, then in the coming days (weeks max). up to you... way 2 is: pre-yapping mindshare opportunity. watching how few recent projects played out = community orientired ones became a key signal. esp if you want to avoid teams that: > give airdrops to insiders quietly > ghost people who backed them for months > use "community" as a label only > send odd offers in private rounds > say "soon" but keep it vague (no WL, no snapshot) and etc. then always check how the team treats the community. i scrolled through x team pages = they watch who posts + track activity. this might be the most "under radar" project. make yourself an espresso and let's go...
