: : Taiko - The True Ethereum L2
by ingeun & xpara

❗️ Ethereum has faced scalability issues due to increased transaction volume, leading to rising fees and transaction processing delays.

? Many Ethereum Layer 2 projects do not prioritize close integration with Ethereum, resulting in decentralization and centralization concerns.

? Taiko aims to be a true Ethereum Layer 2 by maintaining Ethereum-equivalent, prioritizing the decentralization of the sequencer, and fully supporting builders. At its core, this is made possible through Based Contestable Rollup (BCR), which ensures decentralized verification of rollup proofs, and Based Booster Rollup (BBR), which aligns the user and development environments between different rollups as well as between L1 and L2. These features enable seamless integration and interaction while maintaining the principles of decentralization and scalability that Taiko upholds.

? Taiko has made significant progress in addressing Ethereum's scalability issues through its mainnet launch and community engagement, while adhering to its core principles.
