Taiko is a ZK-EVM (Type 1), which is maximally compatible with Ethereum. No additional compilation, reaudits or tooling are required. Guaranteed, everything works right out of the box. We are open-source and build with the help of our community. Taiko's code can be used and modified freely under the permissive licence. Taiko does not require Ethereum to make any additional trust assumptions. Taiko inherits Ethereum’s level of decentralization as a based-rollup with a permissionless network (and decentralized) of proposer/prover from day one. Taiko is a base rollup. The transaction sequencing is handled by Ethereum validators. Based sequencing is simple, and inherits Ethereum’s liveness and neutrality. You can bridge ETH with Taiko by using our native bridge, or another ecosystem bridge. Start with the setup page of the user guide for a walkthrough. Combining the best features of ZK-rollups and optimistic to reduce costs and increase centralization.
