On the website they say Espers is a blockchain project with the goal of offering secured messaging, websites on the chain, and an overall pleasing experience to the user.
The main purpose of the platform is to create an easy to use anonymous messaging platform on the blockchain while bringing a shrinking blockchain! That means no crazy blockchain sizes to download when you are first syncing your wallet! The project is mainly backed by the talent of the CryptoCoderz team which has deployed many coins in the past. The price at the moment of this post is a mere 8 satoshis and us at the Espers community expect the price to rise a lot more because the wallet update that fixing staking was released last week and the softfork to enable staking is coming on january 5th! so get some in the cheap while you still can! 2018 is packet for Espers releases starting with the whitepaper on Q1 2018. I'll leave their roadmap below so you can check it out yourself! if you are interested in buying some Espers, i would recommend you do it on the coinexchange website! whatever you do DO NOT BUY ESP FROM YOBIT! ITS A SCAM!
