Espresso
Espresso Network is a global confirmation layer that delivers fast and reliable transaction confirmations to Layer 2 (L2) chains using Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus.
Task Description
Espresso has confirmed an airdrop for various early users through the Espresso Foundation. The project is progressively revealing over 30 distinct qualification paths for the upcoming $ESP token airdrop, with announcements starting on October 29, 2024, and new paths disclosed daily in the weeks following.
Latest Update: Airdrop Registration Open As of December 22, 2024, airdrop registration is live. Eligible participants must connect their wallets and X accounts via the official portal to secure their allocation. The actual claim process will begin in early 2026. There are currently 33 eligibility paths in total, with additional criteria expected to be announced before the claim window opens.

Project Description
Espresso Network is a global confirmation layer that delivers fast and reliable transaction confirmations to Layer 2 (L2) chains using Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus. It improves cross-chain composability by providing near-instant, credibly neutral access to information about activities across all connected networks in the Espresso ecosystem, fostering better interoperability and communication between blockchains.
The project has raised $60 million from prominent venture capital firms including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Sequoia Capital, and Polychain Capital, highlighting strong institutional support for its vision in advancing blockchain infrastructure.
