Taiko is a Layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution that utilizes zkRollup technology to enhance transaction speed and reduce costs while maintaining security and decentralisation. Launched to address Ethereum's scalability issues, Taiko aggregates multiple transactions off-chain, processes them, and then posts the data back to the Ethereum main chain, ensuring efficiency without sacrificing trustworthiness. It is designed to support Ethereum’s existing smart contracts and ecosystem with minimal modification, making it an attractive and seamless upgrade for developers and users. Taiko's architecture also emphasizes decentralisation and censorship resistance, aligning with Ethereum's core principles. By integrating advanced zero-knowledge proofs, Taiko not only optimizes network performance but also enhances privacy features for its users.
