Taiko (TAIKO) Price, Charts & Market Data

Taiko is used to improve the scalability and efficiency of Ethereum-based dApps and transactions. By operating as a ZK-Rollup, it reduces congestion and costs on Ethereum Layer 1 by batching transactions and executing them off-chain while maintaining Ethereum's security guarantees. Taiko supports a broad range of use cases, including decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), gaming, and more. Its Ethereum-equivalent design ensures seamless interaction with existing Ethereum tools, wallets, and smart contracts.

Key Features

• Ethereum Equivalence: Taiko replicates Ethereum's Layer 1 environment, allowing developers to use existing Ethereum tools and dApps without changes.
• ZK-EVM: Taiko employs a Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine, enabling privacy-preserving and efficient transaction validation.
• Permissionless Rollup: Taiko is designed to be fully decentralized and permissionless, allowing anyone to participate in its operation.
• Contestable Rollup: Taiko uses a "contestable rollup" architecture, where validity proofs and challenges ensure protocol security and correctness. ### Governance and Consensus Mechanism Taiko’s governance is protocol-based, with mechanisms written into the smart contracts that define the system. Taiko uses multiple tiers of proofs, including Zero-Knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments (TEEs), to maintain the integrity of its rollup operations. Over time, the reliance on centralized elements like Guardian proofs will be reduced as the protocol evolves.
