Brecht Devos, Co-Founder and CTO of Taiko, is leading efforts in Ethereum's scaling landscape with a rollup prioritizing decentralization over speed. Taiko's design mirrors Ethereum closely, ensuring censorship resistance and composability without sacrificing foundational principles. In an interview, Devos discusses Taiko's mission and technologies, including multi-proof architecture and transaction preconfirmation. He highlights the importance of designing rollups that align with Ethereum's roadmap, emphasizing that a permissionless approach will achieve maximum composability within the Ethereum ecosystem, facilitating a more scalable future with minimal fees and decentralized operations.
Being based and thereby permissionless is just to achieve the goal of being maximally composable with L1 and other L2s to create a scalable Ethereum that feels like a single chain, with cheap fees.
The inspiration for Taiko was to build a rollup that resembled Ethereum as closely as possible. We had noticed that while there were many rollups out there, not many prioritized decentralization but rather speed.
