What is Taiko?

Taiko is a fully open-source, permissionless ZK-Rollup designed to address the high transaction fees and scalability issues associated with the Ethereum network while maintaining its core properties of censorship resistance, permissionlessness, and security.

This means that using Taiko is the same as using Ethereum. Taiko supports not only all EVM opcodes, but also the full client API for performing JSON-RPC.

By leveraging the Based Contestable Rollup (BCR) architecture, Taiko aims to provide a configurable and decentralised solution that allows Ethereum to scale effectively.

This architecture enables Taiko to handle transaction sequencing without centralised actors, relying instead on Ethereum validators to maintain the network’s decentralisation and security.

Since it was founded in 2022, Taiko has successfully executed six testnets involving over 1,100,000+ unique wallets, 30,000+ proposers, and 14,000+ provers.

On May 27, Taiko officially announced its deployment on the Ethereum mainnet, and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed the inaugural block, which included metadata containing the names of all Taiko core contributors.

This release represents the culmination of two years of development, providing a scalable, decentralized and cost-effective solution that maintains Ethereum’s core properties while enabling seamless interaction and transaction processing on the network.

How does Taiko Work?

Taiko operates as a competitive Rollup on Ethereum, enhancing scalability and reducing transaction costs while preserving Ethereum’s core properties. It achieves this through a combination of sequence-based, multiple proof systems and unique competition mechanisms.

Through the following simple operation process, you can get a simple understanding of Taiko:

• Based sequencing: Taiko’s zkEVM circuit uses Ethereum Layer 1 verifiers to sort transactions, ensuring that the decentralized and security properties of Ethereum are inherited.
• Contestable rollups: Proposer submits proof of state transition, which enters a cooling period during which it can be challenged by others, with economic incentives to maintain integrity.
• Multi-proofs: Taiko uses multiple layers of proofs, including SGX and ZK proofs, to enhance security by allowing composite proofs and reducing the possibility of invalid transformations.
• Decentralized governance: Governance will be managed by DAOs in the future, gradually transferring control to Taiko token holders, ensuring community-driven development and decision-making.
• Guardianship prover: Initially, the guardianship prover provides an additional layer of security to ensure reliability in the early stages of Rollup deployment.

The following is the Taiko protocol operation diagram:

The architecture enables Taiko to provide a scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution for Ethereum transactions, paving the way for wider adoption and use of decentralized applications.

On May 30, Taiko stated on X (formerly Twitter) that considering fairness to everyone and noting that another project had already used TKO as its code, it was decided to change the token code to TAIKO to prevent conflicts and facilitate token listing.

TAIKO tokens are part of the functioning of the network, serving as the primary medium for transaction fees, governance and incentives for various network participants. Here are the main use cases for TAIKO cryptocurrency:

Governance Tokens: the TAIKO token is the native utility token within the Taiko ecosystem, playing a pivotal role in maintaining and enhancing the network’s operations and governance.  One of the primary use cases of the TAIKO token is its function in the Taiko DAO, where token holders are granted voting rights.

Payment Tokens: TAIKO tokens are also an integral part of the Internet economy model. It is used to pay transaction fees within Taiko rollup, providing a cost-effective alternative to the high fees often associated with Ethereum transactions.

Other: The TAIKO token also plays a role in the contestation and proving mechanisms within the Taiko rollup. Provers, who generate proofs for the validity of transactions, are required to place validity bonds in TAIKO tokens.  Similarly, contesters, who challenge the validity of these proofs, must post contestation bonds in TAIKO tokens.

Through these diverse use cases, the TAIKO token is essential in fostering a vibrant, secure, and participatory ecosystem.
