Inception layersInception layers are a neat property that come from having an Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup (Type-1 ZK-EVM). Because the Taiko L2 looks exactly the same as Ethereum L1, why don’t we try deploying Taiko on Taiko in the same way? We were curious, so we did it.

Timelines and expectationsWe loved learning from our past two testnets, and have wasted no time in getting to the next iteration to learn more. We’ve also loved seeing the community participate as users, node/proposer/prover runners, builders, and more. For alpha-3, if all goes well, we expect it to be a longer lived testnet. Future large upgrades (a4+) may indeed be smart contract upgrades vs deprecation and regenesis. This way, we think community builders, Ethereum ecosystem projects, and o...

Why does proof generation cost matter?A higher proof generation cost can be seen as a negative for a few reasons:A potentially longer time to finalityImbalances the ratio between gas cost and proof generation costMore expensive transactionsWe are not concerned about the longer time to finality because we achieve instant finality through our protocol design, by circumventing the need to wait for a proof when on the rollup (proposed blocks have the same finality as the enclosing Ethereum L1 blo...

Taiko LabWhy use a Type 1 ZK-EVM?The main advantage of using a Type 1 ZK-EVM is that you can give it a try without any upfront costs — you don’t need to make any changes to your code or development environment. You can prototype, develop, test, audit, and deploy on Ethereum L1 first and migrate to Taiko later. Alternatively, you can develop on Taiko and then migrate to L1 or another EVM-equivalent chain at any time. A Type 1 ZK-EVM is a continual development process. It means not only being E...
