ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum L2 network Taiko is collaborating with the global geek movement platform DoraHacks to establish standards for community voting, providing the largest scale of anonymous community voting for a hackathon.Taiko's Grant Factory hackathon encourages developers to design projects that focus on providing innovative solutions, engaging and interesting applications, or generating positive social impact. After months of competition, the finalists will enter the final round of voting, marking a step towards greater community-driven decision-making.The Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI), initially proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, is a mechanism that provides privacy and anti-collusion voting in community environments. Concerns about obstacles in traditional voting systems, such as fraud, collusion, and lack of privacy, prompted him to propose on-chain solutions to these issues.MACI uses zero-knowledge technology to ensure that votes remain confidential while maintaining integrity and preventing bribery or coercion. In a MACI round, there are two roles: operators and users. Users vote on-chain for the MACI smart contract through encrypted votes. These votes are timestamped on-chain, and only operators can see their votes, with results published after the voting is completed.

ChainCatcher news, according to official information, the Ethereum Layer2 network Taiko has announced the launch of the governance model Taiko DAO, built in collaboration with the Aragon Project. The core of this DAO is a governance structure with a secure council that has external representatives. A multi-signature (multisig) ensures operational flexibility while maintaining the security measures brought by community-driven decision-making.In addition, Taiko DAO introduces an optimistic governance mechanism, where proposals enter a veto period for community review. Token holders and representatives can participate in the voting process. Proposals that do not reach the veto threshold by the end of the veto period will be executed after a 7-day delay.

ChainCatcher message, Taiko posted on X: "At 10:45 Beijing time, the Taiko mainnet went down for 30 minutes due to an ABI issue during a contract upgrade aimed at optimizing ZK verification and increasing coverage. The issue has now been resolved, the network is operating normally, and measures are being taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring again."

ChainCatcher news, according to Taikoscan data, the daily transaction volume of the Ethereum L2 network Taiko exceeded 5 million on November 4, setting a new historical record.According to DefiLlama data, Taiko's TVL reached 81 million USD, also a historical high, with TVL increasing nearly 10 times in two weeks.

ChainCatcher news, official data shows that on October 21, the number of transactions on the Taiko chain reached 2,941,686, setting a new historical record.

ChainCatcher news, the Web3 industry research and analysis platform Web3Caff Research recently released an in-depth report on the Based Rollup track. Web3Caff Research researcher Wildon pointed out in the report that with the development of blockchain technology and the surge in market demand, Ethereum is gradually unable to handle the massive transaction volume.As a result, the concept of Rollup emerged, separating transaction execution from the mainnet and moving it off-chain for computation, thereby alleviating the computational burden on the mainnet. This is currently the main solution to Ethereum's scalability issues. In the thriving Rollup ecosystem, Optimistic Rollup and ZK Rollup are the two main factions.However, whether it is Optimistic Rollup or ZK Rollup, although they effectively improve transaction processing speed, they also have limitations in terms of security, MEV, decentralization, latency, and computational costs. In light of this, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake proposed the concept of Based Rollup in May 2023, where the mainnet takes on the role of the Rollup sequencer, allowing Rollup to inherit more characteristics of the mainnet in an attempt to break through the dilemmas it faces. The report further points out that while Based Rollup has advantages such as decentralization, enhanced security, and simplified architecture, it also carries inherent issues.

ChainCatcher News, Hemera Protocol has officially launched the hackathon Grant Factory in collaboration with Taiko. The total prize pool for this competition is as high as $100,000, with Hemera setting up a special reward of $3,000 to recognize developers who successfully apply Hemera UDF technology within the Taiko ecosystem to create unique functional products.This hackathon encourages all developers to combine Hemera technology to develop innovative applications within the Taiko ecosystem, jointly promoting the rapid development of Web3 technology.It is reported that Hemera is committed to building an Account-Centric Index (ACI) network, providing developers with powerful UDF tools, enabling them to create personalized "features" covering diverse areas such as on-chain transactions, social interactions, and gaming achievements.

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik made a presentation on "The Future Development Direction of L2 Scalability" at the RollUp day event, where he mentioned: "The decentralized Based Rollup projects and roadmap represented by Taiko are exciting." He expressed high recognition of this.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bitget market data, TAIKO briefly reached 2.02 USDT, currently priced at 1.919 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 23.81%. The 24-hour trading volume exceeded 200 million USD, with an increase of 577.83%.

ChainCatcher news, Vitalik Buterin tweeted emphasizing that Layer 2 (L2) technology has finally become affordable, which is key to the widespread adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi). He proposed as early as 2020 that low transaction fees are the foundation of success in the crypto industry, and this has only recently become a reality.Robert Sasu, a core engineer at MultiverseX, responded that L2 currently has low fees only in centralized situations. Vitalik disagreed with this view and pointed out that Taiko is a decentralized based rollup solution, indicating that the fees for decentralized L2s like Taiko have reached an affordable level. Sasu agreed but added that rollup-based solutions are still in the minority and hopes that more projects will migrate to this architecture.
