AI can generate your metaverse in seconds. Your blockchain infrastructure should be just as fast. Rufus, powering @DogelonMars' AI-driven metaverse, has integrated with Espresso to unlock fast finality & lay the groundwork for a metaverse that transcends chain boundaries. 🧵 ⤵️

We envision a world where liquidity is unified & apps interoperate safely in real time. We built Espresso to make this vision a reality, providing rollups/appchains w/ the features they need to compose seamlessly while keeping sovereignty & settling on Ethereum (or any L1).

Built w/ @arbitrum's stack & in collab w/ @Calderaxyz, Rufus is an L2 supporting "Dogelon: Land on Mars," an AI-driven metaverse designed to make virtual world creation accessible. Every action in the metaverse is processed on Rufus, and now secured by Espresso confirmations.

Espresso integration delivers three critical capabilities: - Finality in ~6 seconds vs 12+ minutes on Ethereum (subsecond finality in 2026) - Protection against sequencer equivocation - The ability for other chains, apps, bridges, etc, to safely read Rufus' state in real-time

What this could eventually mean for Rufus users: - bridgeless crosschain NFT minting (ie, buying metaverse land on Rufus w/ funds on other Espresso chains) - unified NFT marketplace access for Rufus creators - native NFT bridging into the metaverse, and faster, cheaper swaps
