Espresso reworks HotShot consensus to finalize blocks with two votes in one view
- —Two finality votes now complete within a single view
- —Message complexity rose from O(n) to O(n²), manageable at roughly 100 validators
- —The standalone data availability committee was removed and folded into voting
- —Espresso finality does not mean execution or settlement on Ethereum
Why it matters: Faster, leader-independent finality cuts confirmation latency for rollups built on Espresso and reduces dependence on a single node's liveness.
