According to Espresso's own documentation, Mainnet 1.0 has confirmed more than 20 million transactions, secured more than $300 million in total value, and achieves an average finality time of three seconds. Teams including Arbitrum, Celo, ApeChain, Morph Chain, Rari Chain, and LitVM use or are connected to Espresso-powered infrastructure.
