Espresso launches cross-chain solution Presto and launches cross-chain NFT minting

According to Foresight News, Rollups infrastructure layer Espresso Systems announced the launch of Presto, a cross-chain transaction solution, which can reduce cross-chain latency to less than 2 seconds through Espresso’s fast eventual confirmation. At the same time, the Espresso Foundation has partnered with ApeChain, a blockchain launched by Rarible and BAYC developer Yuga Labs, to launch the first seamless cross-chain NFT minting on ApeChain and RARI Chain based on Espresso technology, which will be carried out in two phases on the Rarible platform with Presto integration. The first phase has been launched, and the RARI series of NFTs is issued on ApeChain, and users can use funds on RARI to mint NFTs on ApeChain, without manual cross-chain funds or gas fees, and minting with RARI costs 0.001 ETH (about $3). The second phase will start on December 15, and the ApeChain series will be launched on RARI Chain, where users can mint using ApeChain funds. Foresight News previously reported that Espresso Systems will open airdrop registration on December 22, and this airdrop will cover millions of addresses. A total of 22 airdrop qualifying paths have been officially released, including Espresso hackathon participants, Caffeinated creators, POAP holders of online and offline events, and users of cooperative chains (ApeChain, RARI Chain, Arbitrum, Celo, etc.).
