Taiko: Scaling Ethereum in a Decentralised Manner - Joaquin Mendes

Episode Summary

We were joined by Joaquin Mendes, COO of Taiko, to discuss Ethereum’s rollup centric roadmap and why Taiko chose to build a type I based rollup for scaling Ethereum.

Episode Notes

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.
