What is Taiko?
Ethereum is expensive and congested. However, Ethereum's core principles—censorship resistance, permissionless access, and robust security—are non-negotiable. A true scaling solution must extend these properties without introducing trust assumptions, centralization, or trade-offs.
Taiko is an Ethereum-equivalent, permissionless, based rollup designed to scale Ethereum without compromising its fundamental properties. Unlike traditional rollups that rely on centralized sequencers, Taiko leverages Ethereum itself for sequencing, ensuring that block ordering is decentralized and censorship-resistant.
Why Taiko?
- Fully Ethereum-equivalent: Runs an unmodified Ethereum execution layer, making it easy for developers to migrate smart contracts and tooling.
- No centralized sequencer: Ethereum L1 validators naturally order transactions in a decentralized way.
- Multi-proof architecture: Supports ZK proofs, Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), and Guardian proofs, making it more flexible than single-proof rollups.
- Configurable proof system: Can operate as a ZK-rollup, optimistic rollup, or hybrid, depending on security and performance trade-offs.
- Decentralized proving & proposing: Permissionless block proposing and proving, eliminating reliance on whitelisted actors.
Why Taiko Alethia is Superior to Traditional Rollups
Feature | Traditional Rollups | Taiko Alethia |
---|---|---|
Sequencing | Centralized (single sequencer) | Decentralized (L1 validators sequence) |
Proof System | Single proof type (ZK or Optimistic) | Multiple proof (ZK, TEE, Guardian) |
Censorship Resistance | Operator can censor transactions | Permissionless transaction inclusion |
Smart Contract Equivalence | Modified Ethereum (Geth changes) | 100% Ethereum-equivalent |
Decentralization | Relies on multisig governance | DAO-controlled with open participation |
Taiko Alethia follows Ethereum's decentralization ethos by ensuring L1 validators remain in control, minimizing trust assumptions, and maximizing rollup neutrality.
