## Why Stake Espresso With Figment?

Espresso is an Actively Validated Service (AVS) designed to work with EigenLayer, enhancing scalability, reducing transaction fees, and improving overall network efficiency.

By incorporating restaking, Espresso aligns with Ethereum's security model, leveraging its staked capital and decentralized validator set to boost economic security and optimize capital efficiency.

Espresso's sequencer nodes are powered by the proprietary HotShot consensus protocol, which is highly scalable and can support thousands of nodes with optimistic responsiveness.

Espresso addresses challenges faced by rollup-centric ecosystems, such as centralized capture of rollup value, by decentralizing the sequencer and empowering L1 validators, thus enhancing security and stability.
