Ankr x Espresso: RaaS plus shared sequencing as a billion dollar narrative
Quote361 words
Argues RaaS is the final abstraction layer over rollup SDKs and that Ankr's RPC track record plus Espresso shared sequencing integration positions it well. Lists the benefits of shared sequencers: liveness, censorship resistance, security, fast finality and atomic cross-chain composability.
Key claims
Shared sequencing delivers atomic cross-chain composability across rollups
Thousands of app- and vertical-specific rollups will emerge in coming months

RaaS is the final abstraction layer on top of rollup SDKs, where modular infrastructure building blocks are built into highly performant blockchains that are customized at every level of the tech stack.
@Ankr with its long-standing track record as a leading infrastructure and especially RPC provider is well positioned to become a major RaaS player in the market.
A market that will be worth billions of dollars as we will see thousands of vertical- and app-specific rollups emerge over the coming months and years.
Aside the battle-tested infra that projects building with the @Ankr framework can rely on, Ankr's RaaS offering stands out as highly versatile with regards to integrations.
Not only can you build on multiple rollup stacks and use customizable DA options like @CelestiaOrg or @eigen_da, but Ankr also integrates shared sequencing layers like @Espresso.
The second billion $$$ narrative.
Shared sequencers are powerful coordination layers that receives and orders transactions across multiple rollups simultaneously.
This comes with a variety of benefits, including:
๐ Improved liveness (decentralized network of nodes)
๐ Stronger censorship resistance (no centralization)
๐ Stronger security (pooled crypto-economic stakes)
๐ Fast finality (crypto-economically secured finality guarantees)
๐ Interoperability (atomic cross-chain composability)
Especially the last point is very powerful. โ๏ธ
By connecting rollups through its sequencing layer, @EspressoSys facilitates communication between them, paving the way for seamless interaction between different blockchains ecosystems and unified liquidity across execution layers.
In a modular multichain future where every use case has its own state machine and where users and liquidity are increasingly fragmented across a growing number of L1, L2 or even L3 execution layers, this is literally solving a billion $$$ problem.
All while @EspressoSys' HotShot consensus system ensures that transactions are finalized quickly and securely, enhancing the overall speed and reliability of the connected networks.
With @Ankr's RaaS framework, any builder can now effortlessly build a fully decentralized and interoperable rollup, powered by @EspressoSys on top of market-leading infrastructure and without having to worry about any of the technicalities aside the app logic.
