Centralised sequencers really are a big problem, and we've been pretending it doesn't exist all along. Handing billions of dollars' worth of transaction ordering power to a single node—the risk is absurdly huge.

Espresso's shared sequencing solution hits the pain point directly. By integrating a distributed operator network into LitecoinVM, it completely changes the game. No more single-point control, but multi-party participation in sequencing instead. So what's the most critical part? True censorship resistance. Backed by cryptographic proofs, transactions really are processed on a first-come, first-served basis—no one can cut in line, and no one can censor. This is how it should be.
