Esprezzo is a legitimate, albeit seemingly dormant, project founded around 2017 with backing from investors like Mark Cuban and Pantera Capital. However, the submission provided ('CrimsonFang') is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product'). While the core product (Dispatcher) addresses a valid need for blockchain automation, development updates appear to have stalled circa 2023. The project is often confused with the much larger 'Espresso Systems' (shared sequencing), but Esprezzo.io operates on a significantly smaller scale with minimal verifiable recent activity.
