最新报道：The foundation is laid, the future is here. What an outstanding quarter for Taiko! We deployed Pacaya on mainnet, released preconfirmation functionality on testnet, launched our DAO, and received a listing on Binance. Q2 2025 has significantly deepened Taiko’s technical capabilities, governance structure, and ecosystem footprint, solidifying our path towards a Rollup-based equivalent to Ethereum. Let’s take a look at what we have achieved so far in Q2 2025, and the momentum we have built for the future: Q2 2025 Highlights: Pacaya Hard Fork Live: Activated on Alethia mainnet, introduced batch-based proofs and multi-proofs, which are critical to the advancement of preconfirmations. Preconfirmation on Hekla: Launched on testnet, achieved ~2 second finality, a key step to improve user experience on mainnet. TAIKO listed on Binance Alpha & Futures: TAIKO/USDT trading launched, 1,495,000 TAIKO rewards distributed, and market influence strengthened. Taiko DAO launched on mainnet: Security committee and governance proposal activated, strengthening decentralized decision-making. Trailblazers Season 5 launched: 3 million TAIKO rewards, including 700,000 for Liquidity Royale. Fabric & Commit-Boost collaboration: Collaboration on validator tools and pre-confirmation standards, strengthening infrastructure. Taiko & Nethermind collaboration: Enhanced Rollup performance and decentralization through Ethereum client expertise. Protocol & Technical Milestones On-Chain Activity Taiko's growth has been exponential, processing more than 847 million transactions in the past 12 months, including more than 150 million transactions completed in the second quarter. The network has very high user activity, with over 2.5 million unique wallet addresses created and an average of 289,000 daily active users. Pacaya Hard Fork Live The Pacaya hard fork has been activated on the Alethia mainnet, introducing batch-based proofs and multi-proofs. Batch-based proofs group multiple transactions into a single proof, reducing computational overhead, while multi-proofs allow proofs to be generated in parallel, improving efficiency. This upgrade is critical for pre-confirmations, making the proof system more efficient and enabling faster transaction processing. Pre-confirmation-based on Hekla Pre-confirmation-based has been launched on the Hekla testnet, achieving ultra-fast transaction finality of approximately 2 seconds. Pre-confirmations provide early assurance of block inclusion, reducing Ethereum's block wait time of approximately 12 seconds. DAO The DAO soft-launched on May 1, 2025, with the Security Committee operational and proposal infrastructure in place. Once pre-confirmation is live, a full mainnet launch will take place, where the community will be able to submit proposals directly for review by the Security Committee. This marks a key step towards transparent, community-driven governance, with stakeholders playing an active role in shaping the future of the protocol. Ecosystem and Partnerships TAIKO Listed on Binance TAIKO has officially been listed on Binance Futures, bringing deeper liquidity and greater access to the Taiko ecosystem. The listing enables users to trade TAIKO perpetual contracts with leverage, marking a major milestone for Taiko to expand its global reach. Fabric & Commit-Boost Collaboration Taiko has partnered with Fabric and Commit-Boost to develop pre-confirmation-based validator tools and standards. The collaboration focuses on creating interoperable protocols that ensure the security and efficiency of pre-confirmation. Standardization strengthens the cohesion of the ecosystem, reduces fragmentation and promotes adoption. Taiko & Nethermind Join Forces to Power a Rollup-based Ecosystem The collaboration focuses on enhancing protocol performance, ordering, and execution layers. By leveraging Nethermind’s deep Ethereum client expertise, this partnership strengthens Taiko’s technical foundation of a Rollup-based design that drives scalability, decentralization, and broader developer adoption. Taiko TakeOff Taiko’s Takeoff program has proven its value through real traction. Avalon has completed three rounds of distributions directly to the Taiko community, rewarding early supporters and demonstrating how builders can meaningfully participate in our ecosystem. This is just the beginning, and we have a growing number of projects ready to take off through Takeoff. More launches, more rewards, and more ways to engage the community are coming soon. DeFi Axion Finance Campaign - The campaign, in partnership with Axion, offers over $8,000 in rewards through a DeFi-driven adventure experience that blends finance and gamification. Bitget Wallet Support - Taiko reaffirms its mission as a public good by supporting the Crypto for All initiative, bringing crypto access to a wider user base through wallet integrations and education AI, Tools, and Infrastructure Rivalz’s AI-Powered Oracles - Launched AI-powered oracles on Taiko, providing developers with a dynamic, trustless data feed for building smart decentralized applications. Hashlock - Joined the Taiko Takeoff program, providing security services such as audits and infrastructure consulting to early projects within the ecosystem.

Simplified Bridging via Interport - USDC and USDT can now be bridged or swapped to Taiko in one click via Interport, streamlining the user journey and improving the onboarding UX for first-time DeFi users. Community Growth and Global Reach In Q2, Taiko continued to strengthen one of the most vibrant and fast-growing communities in Web3. With a combined follower count of over 1 million on X and Discord, the community remains core to the protocol’s growth. The Trailblazers program entered its fifth season, engaging thousands of users through interactive quests, on-chain tasks, and gamified learning experiences. In addition to Trailblazers, monthly Galxe events highlighting key ecosystem projects such as Pheasant Network, PoPP, Symbiosis, TakoTako, and more are effective tools used to onboard and expand Taiko’s audience. Together, these initiatives drive community engagement, incentivize interaction, and expand awareness of the Taiko ecosystem. Community education and accessibility remain top priorities. In Q2, the team continued to publish new educational blog posts and explainer videos on YouTube to support user understanding and developer onboarding. Events Taiko’s global visibility has rapidly increased through appearances at major blockchain events. In Q2, the team participated in: EthereumAsia The Boundless House of ZK ETHBratislava Hong Kong Web3 Festival LBank x AI In Q2, Taiko led panels, hosted workshops, and connected with the community at major events, strengthening its role as a respected voice in the leading Layer 2 and Ethereum ecosystems. Rollup-based Summit – Cannes Edition On July 1, Taiko hosted its second Rollup-based Summit, this time in Cannes, bringing together over 500 participants from Ethereum and the wider Web3 ecosystem. The Summit brought together a strong line-up of thought leaders including Justin Drake, Tomasz K. Stańczak, Ryan Kim (Hashed), Shiv Sankar (Boundless), Alon Muroch (SSV Labs), and many others. The event focused on the future of Rollup, ordering, and decentralized principles. Through panels, keynotes, and informal discussions, the Summit reinforced Taiko’s vision for open research, protocol neutrality, and collaboration in the L2 space. The Cannes Summit was more than just a conference, it marked another step for Taiko in establishing itself as a leading force in the Rollup movement, not only building the infrastructure but helping to shape its future. Yes, the Rollup-based Summit is back again. Keep the basics. Looking Ahead The past quarter has been incredible, but in many ways, Taiko is just getting started. As we head into the rest of 2025 and beyond, we will continue to focus on a few core priorities that will shape the future of the protocol: Preconfirmation-Based Our first priority is to activate preconfirmation-based on mainnet, which is scheduled to go live this summer. This upgrade will bring near-instant transaction confirmations to users for everyday use cases without compromising decentralization or neutrality. DAO Empowerment With the Taiko DAO now live, we are preparing for a hard launch of DAO governance after preconfirmation activation. The next phase will shift decision-making power over upgrades, protocol parameters, and treasury management completely to the community. On-chain voting and open proposal discussions will play an increasingly important role as we move towards deeper decentralization. Gwyneth Development Work continues on Taiko Gwyneth, our synchronously composable boosted Rollup. Boosting functionality has been successfully implemented following a successful demo and ULTRA TX implementation in Q1-Q2Gwyneth support has been added to Foundry to make it easy to test and deploy cross-chain applications. Next steps include launching a developer-focused Devnet, gathering feedback, and preparing for a public testnet launch later this year. Community Growth Our incredible community remains at the heart of Taiko. Programs like Trailblazers, Taiko Takeoff, and Taiko Status will evolve with new challenges, rewards, and opportunities to participate.
