Frequently Asked Questions
Read answers to the most common questions about Alethia.
Taiko Alethia is a based rollup. A scaling solution that highly configurable, fully open source, permissionless, decentralized and Ethereum-equivalent. There are no centralized actors that operate the network; all operations are permissionlessly run by the community.
Rollups have three core modules:
1. Data Availability: (where they store their data).
2. Execution (how they execute transactions)
3. Sequencing (who orders the transactions)
Traditional rollups only use Ethereum for one of these modules – Data Availabilty. Unlike other rollups, Taiko also uses Ethereum for sequencing.
Permissionless and decentralized: Taiko Alethia is a based rollup, the first of its class. Lacking a centralized sequencer, it relies on Ethereum validators to sequence transactions and blocks, elevating Taiko's permissionless and decentralized ethos.
Frictionless developer experience: Taiko Alethia utilizes an Ethereum-equivalent zkEVM (type-1) to achieve execution-level compatibility with Ethereum, essentially offering "Ethereum at scale.”
Highly configurable and future-compatible: Designed as a Contestable Rollup, Taiko Alethia permits app chains to define their proof systems and to embrace newer, more efficient ZK proofs as technology progresses, all without the need to amend Taiko's core protocol.
Today, Taiko Alethia is live and fully compatible with Ethereum. No additional compiling, re-audits, or tooling needed. Everything works out of the box, guaranteed. Start from here now.
To be censorship-resistant, unstoppable, ownerless, and a native hub for real-world applications that require these critical properties. A natural extension of Ethereum.
