Taiko: Scaling Ethereum in a Decentralised Manner - Joaquin Mendes


Listen Later

Taiko is a decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent (type I) rollup scaling solution which uses ZK technology. Taiko's goal is to scale Ethereum efficiently while maintaining security and decentralization. Being a type I zkEVM, Taiko retains full Ethereum equivalence, which creates a seamless DevEx, although this comes at the expense of UX as slower proof generation is the main trade-off. Moreover, in order to stay true to its decentralised ethos, Taiko operates as a based rollup, meaning that transaction sequencing is performed by L1 validators.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Joaquin’s background
  • Loopring and Taiko’s beginnings
  • The 4 types of zkEVMs
  • Taiko's zk circuits vs. Polygon’s
  • Based sequencing
  • Data availability and blob commitment
  • Ethereum’s role in the future
  • The L2 landscape and its compromises
  • Sequencer security model
  • Dealing with MEV
  • Based preconfirmations & Taiko ecosystem UX
