We’re partnering with Commit-Boost and Fabric to push preconfirmation standards forward — together, we're laying the groundwork for a based rollup future on Ethereum.Why This MattersBased rollups are emerging as Ethereum’s most aligned scaling path — but to get there, we need shared infrastructure, common language, and open standards. That’s where this collaboration comes in. We are working closely with Commit-Boost and Fabric to: 🧩 Get Commit-Boost in the hands of more Ethereum validat...

On May 27, 2024, Taiko officially launched its mainnet - an Ethereum-equivalent ZK rollup pioneering a new model called the "based rollup." Since then, Taiko has grown into one of the most technically advanced and community-driven Layer 2 ecosystems. In this special anniversary post, we take a detailed look at the technology, the ecosystem, the numbers, and the people who’ve made it all possible.Year One Highlights:Mainnet Launch with Vitalik: Deployed Taiko on Ethereum mainnet (May 27, 2024)...

Thanks to Justin for the inspiration.The Ethereum community has been in uncertainty about how to move forward for a while because of value accrual, price action and management related concerns. We believe that all these natural uncertainties comes from adapting to the new mindset shift of Ethereum as a data availability layer. This is a transition period. We know that as the DA layer matures, Ethereum will have a higher ROI than ever before.Rollup-Centric Roadmap So FarEthereum moved to a rol...

The Pacaya Hardfork, a crucial step toward based preconfirmations, is coming to the Taiko Alethia mainnet next week. This marks one of the most important milestones for Taiko to date. Let’s take a closer look at what’s about to happen.What’s Changing?The Taiko Alethia protocol in it’s current iteration (Ontake fork) utilizes the based contestable rollup design. The design has been battle-tested and proven to be secure and cheaper to use than L1 over almost 1M blocks and 653M transactions! How...

Based rollups prioritize decentralization above all else. This is a deliberate choice made to enable scaling without compromise. However, it does come with trade-offs. The biggest trade-off is speed. Since based rollups like our own Taiko Alethia don’t use a centralized sequencer like traditional rollups, transactions can take longer to finalize. Based Preconfirmations are here to change that in a big way. Based Preconfirmations will significantly improve the user experience on Taiko by makin...
