The Taiko Security Council is expanding with the addition of Gattaca, bringing specialized expertise in transaction supply chain infrastructure as the protocol matures.

Broadening Security Beyond the Protocol Layer

As Taiko scales and institutional adoption accelerates, the Council's mandate extends beyond base protocol security. Gattaca, a research-driven crypto technology company focused on building trading and MEV-related infrastructure, brings expertise that positions the Council to address security considerations at every layer, from the base protocol to the economic mechanisms that govern transaction ordering and execution.

The expanded Council maintains its core responsibilities: managing proposal flows, coordinating emergency responses for critical vulnerabilities, and ensuring Taiko's security standards align with Ethereum's infrastructure. With the addition of a ninth member, the approval thresholds adjust to 7 of 9 for emergency proposals and 6 of 9 for standard proposals.

Updated Council Composition

• Aragon

• Chainbound

• Drew Van der Werff

• Gattaca

• Halborn

• L2Beat

• Nethermind

• Taiko Labs Limited

• Toni (Ethereum Foundation)

As Taiko's DAO continues to develop, the Security Council's composition will evolve to meet the protocol's needs. This addition reflects the growing complexity of securing decentralized infrastructure, where transaction ordering, MEV mitigation, and economic security are increasingly critical to institutional deployment.

About Gattaca:
Gattaca is a research-driven crypto technology company based in London. We have deep experience across the transaction supply chain; primarily focused on building trading and MEV related infrastructure and services.

About Taiko:
Taiko, the first based rollup on Ethereum, is designed to address the scalability challenges of the Ethereum network. Using based rollup technology, Taiko significantly reduces transaction costs and enhances security, providing a seamless and efficient user experience without compromising decentralization. Taiko's preconfirmations technology further enhances this experience by delivering near-instant transaction confirmation, eliminating the uncertainty and waiting times that have traditionally made blockchain applications impractical for real-world use cases requiring immediate feedback.
