Taiko, the first-ever based rollup scaling Ethereum, has activated binding onchain governance [Sponsored]

Taiko DAO just appointed 3 Board Directors: Joy Lam, Professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee, Professor Wen Yonggang and an Advisor, CPA Ren Jang. These seasoned, highly accomplished leaders will supercharge our Security Council & community as binding on-chain governance goes LIVE at dao.taiko.xyz. Another step toward an ownerless, neutral L2 truly owned by its users.

for the past few months we’ve been working on a way to make ethereum blocks more programmable and enable synchronous composability (yes we are running sharding back turbo) here’s how ULTRA TX is going to help us achieve this 🧵👇

Taiko is a based rollup, built to be based, and expected to stay that way 1, 5, 10, 100 years down the line. When you’re at the edge of innovation, hard forks, testing phases, reorgs, and upgrades are inevitable, all part of the process toward becoming a better, more resilient based rollup. To understand your logic: for example, any blockchain that goes through periods of downtime (minutes, hours, whatever) where no blocks are produced, should technically stop being considered a blockchain during that time, right? And if that’s the standard, it should probably be applied consistently, even reflected on platforms like L2Beat, otherwise it’s misleading information… Obviously, that’s not the case. It’s simply part of the process of being at the forefront of innovation. Let’s stay honest and serious. The tech behind based preconfirmations is, according to many of our (and external) engineers and partners, among the most technically challenging they've ever worked on, and a more than major milestone for Ethereum scalability (and yes, specially for BASED rollups) that 2 years ago was considered almost impossible. If your only public reference to this work is to mock a temporary limitation on sequencing (introduced precisely for safety pueposes before reopening permissionlessly), then you’re missing the bigger picture entirely.

🚀 Preconfirmations are LIVE on @taikoxyz — my tx was 32.33x faster. This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a paradigm shift. The new era of Ethereum starts NOW. 🔗 Try it yourself: trailblazers.taiko.xyz/preconfs #Taiko

@CYBERCREWNFT Gold!

Before we drop our Founders Pack for our game, we figured it's a good time for a giveaway! How to enter: 1. Like 2. Repost 3. Comment your favorite color We will randomly select the winner, early next week!

I've followed and been involved with every aspect of Taiko since before the launch of the chain. This upgrade with pre-confirmations is truly amazing. Thank you to the Taiko team for all the hard work on the the underlying rails and giving us a better blockchain world! 🩷

Preconfirmations Are Live on Taiko! 🥁 20–30x faster. Same Ethereum values. Taiko Alethia mainnet just leveled up. This massive upgrade boosts our network’s performance without compromising Ethereum’s core principles. The new era of Taiko begins today!

Taiko mainnet started preconf-ing blocks about an hour ago, after fixing some minor issues and now our based rollup seem fully functional, with 2-3 second block time. @VitalikButerin @drakefjustin More to come in the next 6 months.

Beat my preconfed transaction 🔥

@taikoxyz Hi team! Great work on the advancements, I showed off the pre-conf testing speeds to multiple people irl already. Speed is the flashy factor but security is where the real priority lies. Thank you for taking the longer, more secure road on this path! My question is what's next?

🎙 Taiko Livestream is coming | Preconfirmations Phase 1: The New Era of Ethereum Scaling ⏰ August 13 (Wednesday), 15:00 UTC We’re going live with special guests: • Lin @linoscope ( @nethermind) • Nicolas @merklefruit ( @chainbound_) • Lorenzo @_eltitan ( @gattacahq ) Joining the discussion from the Taiko team are our CEO, COO, Director of Engineering, and a Senior Engineer, who is key contributors to the development of Preconfs: @realdantaik, @Joaquin_Mendes1, @gusgonzalezs, @Cyberhorsey 💬 Special Giveaway: Drop your questions about Preconfs in the comments, we’ll pick 5 to answer during the stream. Each selected question will receive 100 $TAIKO! 👀

After a lengthy period of testing on the Taiko Hekla testnet, we are excited to announce that Based Preconfirmations are coming soon to the Taiko Alethia Mainnet! In preparation for this upgrade, we strongly recommend that you upgrade your node software to the listed versions by August 11th UTC. If you fail to upgrade, you will not be able follow the chain in real time as blocks are preconfed, but you will still be able to sync once they are proposed to the L1. This upgrade requires some configuration changes, which will be outlined in this guide on the docs site: - docs.taiko.xyz/guides/node-op… With this upgrade, it will unfortunately mean that community proposers will no longer be able to arbitrarily propose blocks. Since we are starting in starting in the Whitelisted Preconfirmations stage, only our partnered whitelisted preconfirmers will be able to propose. However, if you wish to continue operating a L2 node and stay connected to the chain, please update to the following software versions. You may continue to run a prover, but will only be able to prove unassigned blocks: please have PROVE_UNASSIGNED_BLOCKS=true set in your .env if you plan to do so. If you previously ran a prover, your previous prover config will still function. Mandatory update for Taiko Alethia Node operators: - taiko-geth v1.17.0 - taiko-alethia-client v1.9.0 - simple-taiko-node v1.18.0 Read more about the Based Preconfirmations stages here: - #what-are-based-preconfirmations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.taiko.xyz/taiko-alethia-…
