Why Taiko? What's Taiko?
Why Taiko?
- Layer 2s need to be decentralized & permissionless.
- zkRollups will share a common spec (and developer experience) close to Ethereum’s (Type-1).
- No rollup can scale Ethereum singlehandedly (state explosion). We need multiple L2s and L3s.
What's Taiko?
- Decentralized: blocks proposed & sequenced by L1 validators (Justin Drake: based rollup); proven permissionlessly.
- Type-1: Same VM, gas price, keccak, ECDSA, Trie… (time-adjusted 1559, w/o 4844/blob)
- Same codebase/solution for layer 3s – "Inception Layers"

Inception layers

Inception layers

- Built-in message passing across all L2s and L3s
- Open to all apps to send arbitrary messages
