Taiko is a rollup solution for Ethereum that aims to make transactions cheaper while preserving Ethereum’s core properties such as being censorship-resistant, permissionless, and secure. It is a highly configurable, fully open-source, and permissionless rollup that can be set up as a ZK rollup, optimistic rollup, or a hybrid.

The Taiko protocol consists of smart contracts on Ethereum, providing a fully open-source scaling solution where all network operations are managed by the community without centralized control.

Taiko extends Ethereum’s properties without altering them, ensuring a decentralized and community-driven operation.
