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...

Most projects talk about what they'll do eventually. We proved what's possible today.

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 ...

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 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...
