Taiko Network

PreviousTelos NetworkNextTaraxa Network

Last updated 8 months ago

Taiko is building the world’s first Type 1 EVM in order to scale Ethereum without compromises. Taiko is able to offer a superior developer-experience without introducing any additional trust assumptions. Also, given that Taiko is Ethereum-equivalent, all existing Ethereum tooling should work out-of-the-box and any additional audits or code changes become redundant.

Taiko is also the only based-rollup that has launched mainnet with fully decentralised proposer/prover from Day 1. This allows Taiko to be most aligned with Ethereum foundation’s vision on scaling the ecosystem without fragmentation.

To achieve its goals, Taiko has focused on protocol design to mitigate any potential performance drawbacks associated with ZK proofs. By optimising the implementation and carefully considering trade-offs, Taiko aims to deliver a decentralised Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup that meets the requirements of scalability, security, and compatibility.

Benefits Of The Taiko Ecosystem

  • Increased Scalability: Taiko significantly increases the number of transactions the network can handle compared to the base layer of Ethereum.

  • Reduced Fees: Processing transactions off-chain lowers the gas fees associated with each transaction.

  • Security: Even though transactions occur off-chain, they are ultimately secured by the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring their integrity.

Connecting To The Taiko Network

  • First go to and connect your wallet by pressing the button in the top right hand corner of the screen

  • Enter the word 'Taiko' into the search bar at the top

  • Click the option to Add Chain

    • Network name: Taiko Mainnet

    • Network URL: https://rpc.taiko.xyz

    • Chain ID: 167000

    • Currency symbol: ETH

Bridging To The Taiko Network

The Taiko bridge enables the transfer of $ETH back and forth between Ethereum and Taiko. The Taiko Bridge accepts popular wallets like Metamask Phantom Subwallet Compass wallet and so many others.

Tips

  • Whenever moving funds to a new location for the first time, test the process with a small transaction before committing all of your main funds.

  • Note that not all wallets support transfers direct to a contract address however this can be done using Metamask

  • Bridges that support multiple assets and multiple chain for transfer can also be used to bridge to the Taiko Network, like Rubic Exchange

  • Asides using the Taiko Bridge, you can purchase $TAIKO from centralised exchanges
