At Taiko, we are on a mission to scale Ethereum while preserving its core principles, both technologically and ideologically. We are honored to collaborate with a group of investors who not only share our vision but also trust in our ability to achieve it.

Our most recent $15 million Series A was led by Lightspeed Faction, Hashed, Generative Ventures, and Token Bay Capital, with participation from Wintermute Ventures, Presto Labs, Flow Traders, Amber Group, OKX Ventures, GSR, WW Ventures, and more. This latest funding round brings Taiko's total capital raised to $37 million across three rounds, positioning us strongly for our upcoming mainnet launch.

Over the last few months, Taiko has grown to become the largest Discord community in the rollups space, with over 850,000 active members.

On top of that, we’ve conducted six testnets, each focused on different aspects of the protocol, involving 1,100,000+ unique wallets, 30,000+ proposers, and 14,000+ provers. In each of these testnets, Taiko community members contributed by building dapps, operating nodes, serving as proposers and provers, and engaging with the protocol in various ways — all permissionlessly. There are over 100 live apps in the Taiko ecosystem today.

We launched our 6th testnet, Katla, earlier this year. Katla is the first testnet to use Taiko’s Based Contestable Rollup (BCR) design, a configurable, multi-proof rollup architecture that features a contestation mechanism and based sequencing. Katla serves as the foundation of Taiko’s upcoming mainnet launch. In the future, Taiko will develop Based Booster Rollup (BBR), a design that tackles the liquidity fragmentation issue by allowing developers to deploy on Ethereum and scale natively across all L2s.

A huge thank you to each and every member of the Taiko community — we wouldn’t be what we are today without you.

Praise from Investors

Our lead investors have applauded Taiko for our vibrant community, innovative architecture, and successful testnets. Samuel Harrison, Founding Partner at Lightspeed Faction, highlighted Taiko's passionate community and based sequencing architecture.

“Amongst an explosion of new Rollups, Taiko stands out due to its passionate community, paired with a based sequencing architecture, which uniquely simplifies the L2 value chain, streamlining trust assumptions and removing friction for developer adoption,” Harrison said.

Ryan Kim, Founding Partner at Hashed, commended Taiko's work in scaling blockchains using zero knowledge.

“The team's achievements, including vibrant community engagement and successful testnets, underscore our confidence in their vision,” Kim said.

Will Wang, the Managing Partner of Generative Ventures, also added his perspective on Taiko's unique position in the Ethereum Layer 2 network landscape.

“The scaling of Ethereum is an important prerequisite for the blockchain ecosystem to become the mainstream next-generation global financial system,” Wang said. “Due to its positioning and capabilities in type1 and BBR, Taiko is a unique choice among the many Ethereum Layer 2 networks.”

Lucy Gazmararian, Founder of Token Bay Capital, emphasized Taiko's adherence to crypto's original ethos.

“Taiko has been fully decentralized and permissionless from day one, staying true to crypto’s original ethos,” Gazmararian said. “These core values place Taiko in a strong position to become the default scaling solution for Ethereum, and we look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with the team, helping them to scale across Asia and the Middle East from Token Bay’s hubs in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong.”

Taiko's Co-Founder and CEO, Daniel Wang, expressed the team's determination to ship their products as soon as they're ready, emphasizing that what had been thought of as impossible is indeed possible.

“Building the first Ethereum-equivalent-based rollup is something we knew was going to be a multi-year adventure,” Wang said. “Now, as we approach main net launch, we realize what a ride it has been. We’re determined to ship our products as soon as they’re ready and show the industry that what had been thought of as impossible, is indeed possible.”

Co-Founder and COO, Terence Lam, emphasized Taiko’s commitment to scale Ethereum in the most native way possible.

“We want to thank everyone who shares our vision and continues to support us in our journey to bring Ethereum to the world,” Lam said.

Greetings, Taiko enthusiasts!

In July, we announced the inaugural Taiko Community Grant Program focused on discovering and supporting innovative community members who build up and build on the Taiko ecosystem. Today, we’re beyond excited to announce the grant winners! 🥳

But first, let’s take a look at some numbers.

Community-first approach

In the span of just over a month, we received 92 grant applications — a number larger than expected. The majority of the applications were of high quality, and we needed extra time to go through them carefully. All of this, for better or for worse, slightly delayed our internal processes and the announcement of the winners.

Out of the total 92 grant applications, 15 have been awarded grants. Out of those 15 winners, 9 had already deployed on or contributed to Taiko in some capacity before applying for a grant. We’re especially proud of this achievement and see it as a confirmation of our efforts in fostering an open, community-led builder environment, as well as a sign of our commitment to support projects that meaningfully contribute to the Taiko ecosystem retroactively.

We want to whole-heartedly thank every single team that applied for a Taiko grant. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you and your eagerness to build in the open.

Now let’s announce the winners of the inaugural Taiko Community Grant Program!

Winners

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

SuperScalar* (GitHub, X) is a company specializing in cutting-edge computing acceleration solutions for zero-knowledge proof generation. The team aims to deliver a GPU acceleration baseline solution to the Taiko community, including MSM, NTT, Evaluator, and others. They’ll also be working on an FPGA-based prover and designing a ZKP-proving benchmark tool, including test cases, log analysis, and hardware platform.

Polyhedra Network (Website, X) is a company that designs and develops scalable and efficient zero-knowledge proof protocols for large-scale ZKP systems with distributed computing networks. The team is going to continue to work on implementing zkBridge on Taiko and connect more chains to Taiko, as well as do additional research.

Proof Markets

Prover Pool (GitHub, X) is a project that lowers the barrier to becoming a block prover on Taiko. Grassets Tech, the team behind the project, is going to further polish the prover tool by providing different options for prospective provers, as well as potentially produce a framework for creating multiple pools with different tokenomics and rewards economies.

ZKPool (GitHub, X) is a project that is focused on providing a decentralized accelerated computation layer for Ethereum. The team is going to continue to build a proof market for the Taiko ecosystem to achieve low and transparent proving costs, lower the barrier for provers, and ensure maximum rewards.

Games

FREDD Studios (Website, X) is a gaming studio behind the web3 RPG game StupidMonkeys Realm Hero. The team is going to work on developing the PvP mode of the game. They will also be releasing an NFT collection of 8,000 in-game assets, as well as organizing events and competitions for the Taiko community.

SporeForge (X) is a gaming studio behind Taikoverse, a Minecraft-like game that was deployed on Taiko L3. The team is going to work on developing a second game for the Taiko community.

Education and Community Efforts

Dojo Node (GitHub, X) is an easy-to-read, user-friendly dashboard to assist with operating a Taiko node. The people behind the project are some of the earliest Taiko community members and deployed Dojo Node on Taiko months ago. The team is going to continue developing the tool, add new functionalities, and develop extensive documentation, among other plans.

The Rollup (Website, X) is a media company that represents a community of power users in DeFi and L2. The team is going to work on a video series of interviews, concept explainers, and other types of video content. They’ll also organize various community events and competitions.

AI Integration

BrianAI (Website, X) is the first non-custodial AI assistant that facilitates access to the web3 ecosystem for everyone by solving two main problems: UX and knowledge fragmentation. The project has already been deployed on the Taiko testnet since June when BrianAI won a Taiko bounty at the ETHPrague hackathon. The team is going to work on developing further functionalities and increasing user adoption.

Surprise Us

FLock.io (GitHub, X) is a startup aiming to create an on-chain neural processor. The team is going to work on establishing a decentralized machine-learning community on Taiko, and enabling the collaborative development of advanced ML models.

Offch is a project that’s going to work on mitigating the issue of expensive DAO voting participation on L1 by developing a trustless off-L1 multi-governance solution.

DevPool (GitHub) is an AI-powered crypto-native DAO-building platform and marketplace developed by UbiquityDAO. The team is going to work on enabling NFT and POAP payments on GitHub, as well as later deploying on Taiko.

Taiko subgraphs on The Graph network (GitHub, X) is another project developed by the Grassets Tech team. The project aims to create Taiko subgraphs on The Graph network for easy access to blockchain data using subgraphs and GraphQL queries. The Grassets Tech team has been indexers for The Graph since 2018 and is uniquely positioned to deliver.

Sentio (Website, X) is a web3 observability platform that generates real-time metrics, logs, and traces from existing smart contracts data to build dashboards, set up alerts, and more. The team is going to deploy on Taiko testnet and later mainnet.

Gourds Studio (X) provides innovative DeFi solutions based on TradFi products, like a gamified exotic options trading protocol already deployed on the Taiko testnet. The team will continue polishing the product and deploy it on Taiko mainnet.

*Disclosure:** Taiko co-founder and CEO Daniel Wang is an investor in SuperScalar. This was disclosed from the outset to the Taiko Grant Committee, which has sole discretion to review and approve grant proposals. No members of the founding team are part of the Grant Committee.

Congratulations to the winners! We can’t wait to start (or continue 🙂) building with you!

What’s next?

Taiko is all about open-source, community-driven building, and the inaugural Taiko Community Grant Program proved that we are taking the right approach. Your interest and eagerness to build alongside Taiko have inspired us and, hopefully, the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

That is why we are committed to staying in contact with the newly-minted Taiko grantees and supporting them throughout their journeys.

As for those who missed the first grant program: We want to continue to empower our community and form long-term relationships with our builders. That’s why a second Taiko grant program is already in the works. So stay tuned!

Thank you again to all grant applicants and congratulations to the winners. See you soon!

Let's take a closer look at how it's been performing!

Understanding Jólnir

Jólnir stands out due to its innovative Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS)-inspired proposing and proving design. In this setup, proposers must obtain a bond from provers to suggest a block, while provers need TTKOj test tokens to secure the bond. This unique framework enhances network liveness and eliminates the need for staking pools, simplifying the overall design and allowing prover pools to function off-chain.

Jólnir Prover and Proposer Milestones

In just one month, we've witnessed impressive achievements on both the prover and proposer fronts.

A total of 2,277 distinct provers successfully generated a validity proof for a Taiko block.

On the proposer side, 5,176 unique proposers effectively proposed Taiko blocks.

These achievements highlight the robustness of the Jólnir network.

A Glimpse into the Stats

Here are some noteworthy statistics from our Jólnir testnet:

• 3,172,554 transactions were processed within this short timeframe.

• 759,828 blocks were created, contributing to the network's consistency.

• 510,852 wallet addresses actively participated in the Jólnir ecosystem.

• Remarkably, users deployed an impressive 189,431 smart contracts on Jólnir, showcasing its vast potential.

Keep Exploring

For more detailed statistics and insights into Jólnir's performance, visit our explorer at https://explorer.jolnir.taiko.xyz.

As always, we extend our gratitude to the community for actively participating in Jólnir and past testnets.

Your valuable feedback and contributions play a pivotal role in our journey to enhance the Taiko network.

Together, we're paving the way for a brighter future in the world of blockchain and decentralized technologies. 🤝
