Districts · ZK rollups
Taiko Alethia
A “based rollup” whose block ordering is done directly by Ethereum validators.
Taiko Alethia is a based rollup whose mainnet opened in May 2024. It has no separate sequencer: Ethereum’s L1 block proposers also order Taiko’s blocks.
The benefit is that ordering is as decentralised as Ethereum itself. Its token is TAIKO.
