We’re excited to announce that the Taiko DAO is now live on mainnet, marking the beginning of a new era of decentralized governance for the Taiko protocol.

This launch represents a soft rollout, meaning the DAO is operational, but the full transition to complete decentralization will unfold gradually and responsibly.

As of today:

• The DAO website is live for the community to explore and inspect,

• Security Council members are operating the DAO in a testing capacity to ensure systems work as intended,

• Contracts and protocol assets will be progressively transferred to DAO control in the coming weeks.

During this period, the Security Council will also carry out on-chain verifications and testing to ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable transition to full governance.

We anticipate completing the full transfer of protocol ownership to the DAO by June 2025, marking a significant milestone on the path to full decentralization.

This phased approach ensures the governance system is robust and ready for broad community participation.

We encourage token holders to stay engaged, delegate or exercise their veto rights, and take an active role in shaping Taiko’s future.
