🚀 NEW EPISODE 🚀 Scaling Ethereum in a Decentralised Manner @tw_tter chats with @Joaquin_Mendes1 about @ethereum's rollup centric roadmap and why @taikoxyz chose to build a type I based rollup for scaling Ethereum. @taikoxyz operates as a based rollup, meaning that transaction sequencing is performed directly by L1 validators. Being a type I zkEVM, @taikoxyz retains full Ethereum equivalence, which creates a seamless DevEx, although this comes at the expense of UX as slower proof generation is the main trade-off.
