Imagine a world whereEthereum’s scalability is endless, transactions are lightning fast, and user privacy is sacrosanct.This is not a distant dream but a rapidly approaching reality, and it’s all thanks to Taiko.

asMajor InvestorsWe are excited to support Taiko’s journey to revolutionize the Ethereum ecosystem.Type-1 ZK-VMTechnology is leading this change. Today, as they launch their mainnet, we are on the cusp of an unprecedented leap in technological innovation.

Despite the challenges of integrating ZK with the EVM, Taiko’s Type-1 ZK-VM technology (by CEO Daniel Wang Launched in 2023) is a breakthrough. CTO Brecht Devos and CFO Terence Lam Also involved, the experienced team successfully launched multiple public testnets within a year and demonstrated impressive metrics.

The Taiko team brings a wealth of experience from their Loopring background.Loopring One of the earliest ZK rollups. This foundation equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle the complex challenges of Ethereum scalability. The management team has been working together for more than five years, which is very rare in the field, further consolidating their cohesiveness and effective approach to innovation.

Taiko aims to increase Ethereum's scalability by 1,000 times, providing developers with a UI and experience consistent with the EVM. This means that any EVM-compatible L1 project can seamlessly transition to Taiko by simply copying and pasting its code. L2.

A unique feature of the Taiko method isDecentralization of proposers and validators,To prevent single point of failure. Taiko appliedBased RollupTo achieve the decentralization of the ordering process within the protocol. In this setup, Ethereum validators complete the ordering, because Based Rollup allows ordering on the underlying L1 chain. In addition,Taiko's Based Contestable Rollup (BCR)Allows application chains to adopt newer, more efficient validity proofs without changing Taiko’s core protocol.combineMulti-Proof, which reduces potential vulnerabilities and intelligence in the protocolcontractMistakes make TaikoXiaobai NavigationThe only one that implements this functionL2.

These features attracted more than 100 DApp Enter Taiko's testnet. Taiko has established partnerships with EtherScan, USDC, Pyth, multiple DeFi protocols and bridges. With Uniswap's announcementDeploy Uniswap V3 on Taiko MainnetWe expect other major protocols to make similar announcements once their mainnets are live. It is worth noting that Taiko has the largest Discord Community, highlighting the powerfulCommunityEngage and support.

Taiko also has an extensive technology roadmap with many promising technologies:

1. Based “Booster” Rollup (BBR):Booster Rollup provides native Ethereum L1 DApp扩展来增强基本的Rollup。BBR在保持L1排序优势的同时，实现所有L2之间的原子跨Rollup交易。在主网上推出BCR后，Taiko计划升级到BBR或推出单独的BBR L2，作为一个重要里程碑。

2. Inception Layers:This involves using Taiko as both the L2 and L3 layers, making it possible to run multiple parallel L2 instances simultaneously and deploy L3 on top of them. Leveraging Taiko's equivalence to Ethereum, scalability limitations can be addressed, allowing multiple Rollups to coexist. Through Inception Layers, this approach ensures extensive scalability while maintaining interoperability between different layers through Merkle proofs, thereby preventing fragmentation.

Taiko 得到了以太坊社区知名人士的支持，包括Vitalik Buterin和Justin Drake。这一认可凸显了Taiko技术的可信度和潜力。凭借如此强大的基础和清晰的愿景，Taiko有望成为以太坊扩展性和创新未来的基石之一。我们很高兴能参与这段旅程。
