A core contributor to Ethereum since 2017, Nethermind builds and maintains one of the most widely deployed execution clients on the network. They run staking and node infrastructure at scale, alongside a security practice spanning audits and formal verification. On Espresso since October 2025, they see fast shared finality as one of the unsolved problems for chains today. Decentralizing Espresso was a natural next step.
