# Taiko’s Mainnet Achieves Milestones Within Five Months
Taiko has shown remarkable growth in transaction volume and user engagement within just five months of launching its mainnet. A recent community update underscored these achievements and outlined future plans, heightening expectations for the platform’s development.
Since launching the mainnet, Taiko swiftly achieved profitability. Unlike traditional roll-up methods where centralized sequencers monopolize profits, Taiko employs a decentralized block generation model allowing broad participation in revenue generation. This is seen as evidence that a fully decentralized structure on the blockchain can be sustainable.
Recently, Taiko reported recording 250 million transactions over five months, reaching an all-time high (ATH) daily transaction volume of 46,000, and achieving a transaction speed of 50 transactions per second (TPS). These results place Taiko among the top three roll-up projects. Additionally, Taiko reported over 1.7 million unique wallet addresses, 81 community proposers, and 68 verifiers within its ecosystem, achieving a 60% reduction in gas fees, thereby enhancing proposer profitability.
# Ecosystem Expansion and DeFi and Gaming Growth Plans
Taiko’s ecosystem currently comprises over 130 projects, showing robust growth, particularly in the DeFi and gaming sectors. Centralized on decentralized exchange Panko and lending platform TakoTako, the total value locked (TVL) has increased more than sixfold.
In the gaming sector, various games like World of Dypians, 0xAstra, and Brigade Multiverse have gained popularity. Notably, Crack & Stack, a game with over 90,000 unique players, stands out.
Taiko plans to further expand its gaming segment and enhance DeFi liquidity. It aims to build various community-oriented applications, including SocialFi, consumer apps, NFT, memes, and entertainment sectors.
# Driving Ethereum Improvement with Roll-up Technology Innovation
Taiko is also focusing on technological advancements. The new roll-up, Taiko Gwyneth, introduces “booster roll-up” technology that synchronizes and scales the states of L1 and L2. This is regarded as a significant enhancement for L2 block construction efficiency.
On October 31, Taiko completed an upgrade to version 1.10.0, with the first BCR protocol fork scheduled for November 15. This fork will allow adjustable EIP-1559 base fees on L2 and integrate a pre-confirmation feature for transactions, enabling block proposers to suggest blocks as needed rather than at fixed intervals.
Additionally, Taiko plans to enhance security with the mainnet deployment of ZK proofs next month and is designing a DAO to give the community governance power over the network. Improvements in user experience are also planned, with the introduction of pre-confirmation functionality to enable users to quickly verify the status of their transactions.
