Taiko brands itself as a “Type 1 zkEVM — Fully decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent zk-rollup” on its website. They claim that being a Type 1 zkEVM is one of the major differentiators compared to the other projects on this list. They make almost no changes to the Ethereum architecture, which includes the hash function, state trees or gas costs. By doing this, they can reuse the execution client implementations with as few modifications as possible. One of the main advantages of using a Type 1 z...
