Espresso 🔹 Caff Nodes 🔹 @EspressoSys introduced 'Caff Nodes' to enhance crosschain composability by providing fast, secure state verification for rollups: Built on the Espresso Network’s BFT consensus and scalable data availability, Caff Nodes confirm transactions within seconds rather than @ethereum’s 12-minute finality. They let rollups, exchanges, bridges, and DeFi protocols act safely in near-real time, improving interoperability and efficiency across the multi-chain ecosystem while remaining Ethereum-compatible. 🔹 Integrations 🔹 Espresso has integrated with @ApeChainHUB, the blockchain developed by the @BoredApeYC community, to provide faster transaction finality and secure crosschain interoperability: The collaboration enables near-instant confirmations, prevents sequencer manipulation, and allows real-time interaction with other networks. Built on @arbitrum’s Nitro stack, ApeChain now finalizes transactions through Espresso, combining rapid performance with decentralized security for users and developers. 🔹 Visit for more reports from across the industry 🔹

Orbiter Finance @Orbiter_Finance has announced two new integrations that expand its cross-chain ecosystem and enhance DeFi interoperability: • @Nerochain_io: Became the official cross-chain bridge for NERO Chain - a high-performance, modular blockchain focused on scalability, security, and EVM compatibility. The integration enables seamless and secure asset transfers between NERO and other networks, strengthening its growing Web3 ecosystem: • @SuperseedXYZ: Integrated with Superseed - an @ethereum L2 that makes DeFi more capital-efficient by using network fees to automatically repay user debt. The collaboration provides a faster, more reliable way for users to bridge assets into Superseed’s innovative, self-repaying ecosystem: 🔹 Visit for more reports from across the industry 🔹
