There’s been a lot going on in the zeitgest with regards to based rollups, pre-confirmations, MEV, and whether or not based rollups are going to make it in the longer term.
We’re about to find out.
In today’s podcast, we were joined by Taiko’s founder Daniel Wang, to discuss their “permissionless based rollup” which allows unrestricted block proposals and proofs.
One of the challenges Taiko faces is the higher cost associated with base rollups compared to centralized sequencers due to the onchain protocol rules. Daniel explained that profitability is achievable as their transaction volumes grow. Currently, transaction fees on Taiko are minimal.
We discussed the gradual decentralization of Taiko’s long-term vision. They aim to give up most of their control from a block proposing POV within a year, aligning with Ethereum’s core ethos and principles. In addition, we discussed the move Taiko is exploring with plans to launch their Base Boosted Rollup (BBR) and integrate ZK proofs by Q3.
Hope you enjoy!
