Taiko Achieves 100% ZK Coverage: The Future of Rollup Security Is Here

Introduction: A Milestone in Rollup MaturityStarting this week, every block on Taiko mainnet is proven with zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. Not someday but TODAY! This achievement marks a step toward Stage 2 rollup maturity, the highest standard of decentralization defined by Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum community. While implemented as a soft requirement today, every mainnet batch is already being proven with ZK in production. In an industry where "decentralization roadmaps" often replace act...

TaikoSwap, Our Native DEX, Is Now Live!

As a based rollup, Taiko offers Ethereum-level security and decentralization. Being a Type 1 rollup, Taiko is the rollup most closely aligned with Ethereum both technically and philosophically. TaikoSwap reflects this closeness by providing an Ethereum-like experience that is faster and cheaper. If you want to trade and participate in DeFi within an ecosystem that feels just like Ethereum, only better, TaikoSwap is for you.

Taiko Stack Selected by ENS for Namechain Based Rollup

ENS, Ethereum's most widely used naming protocol, has chosen the Taiko stack as the foundation for Namechain, its dedicated ZK rollup for decentralized naming services. Namechain will deploy as a based rollup using Surge, Nethermind's framework built on Taiko's technology. One of Ethereum's most critical infrastructure protocols is launching with the architecture Taiko pioneered and brought to production.Why This MattersWhen ENS (responsible for human-readable addresses ac...

ULTRA TX & Gwyneth — Synchronous composability across L1 & L2

This writeup introduces synchronous composability via ULTRA TX by Gwyneth, explaining how they work together to make L1 and L2 blocks programmable and composable. Written by Arixon and reviewed by Brecht.0) TL;DR (mental model)One fat L1 transaction (“ULTRA TX”) sits at the top of each L1 block (mostly, not enforced yet). Read more about ULTRA TX here.Inside it, a master builder bundles: L1 account‑abstracted txs, multiple L2 blocks, proofs/witnesses, and the outputs of any cross‑chain calls....

Taiko Integrates Chainlink ACE: Compliance for Decentralized Tokenization

Taiko has integrated with Chainlink's Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), joining Ethereum and Linea as one of three blockchain partners in the launch ecosystem. This brings modular compliance infrastructure to Taiko while preserving the credible neutrality that based rollups deliver. The Compliance Bottleneck Tokenization has clear institutional use cases: real-world assets, securities and regulated financial instruments. The bottleneck isn't technical capability. Blockchains can re...

The Updated Taiko Alethia Whitepaper Is Here

The technical blueprint is out. This is how we're building a based rollup that actually works. Why based matters Most rollups today run on centralized sequencers. One company controls transaction ordering. One point of failure. One entity that can censor you, extract MEV, or simply go offline and take the whole network with it. We didn't want to scale Ethereum by introducing new trust assumptions. So Taiko hands the sequencing back to Ethereum's own validators. Same censorship ...
