About Taiko

Taiko (TAIKO) is an Ethereum-equivalent (Type 1) ZK-EVM rollup — the most compatible type, where Ethereum nodes can validate Taiko blocks without modification. Unlike other ZK-EVMs that modify the EVM for efficiency, Taiko preserves full Ethereum equivalence. This means all existing Ethereum tools, contracts, and dApps work identically on Taiko without changes. Taiko uses a decentralized prover network where TAIKO holders can stake to prove blocks and earn rewards. The project emphasizes long-term Ethereum alignment over short-term performance optimization.
