    Sequencer failureState validationData availabilityExit windowProposer failure
    Sequencer failure
    Enqueue via L1

    Users can submit transactions to an L1 queue, but can’t force them. The sequencers cannot selectively skip transactions but can stop processing the queue entirely. In other words, if the sequencers censor or are down, they are so for everyone. An inclusion becomes due after 9m 36s. From then on, a whitelisted proposer cannot publish another proposal without processing up to ten due inclusions.

    State validation
    Validity proofs

    Every proposal range is verified by exactly two proofs chosen from SGX (Geth), SGX (Reth), SP1 and RISC0, with at least one SP1 or RISC0 proof required. Proof submission is gated by ProverWhitelist, which has 2 whitelisted provers. This can affect liveness but does not allow finalizing invalid state.

    Data availability
    Onchain

    All of the data needed for proof construction is published on Ethereum L1.

    Exit window
    None

    There is no window for users to exit in case of an unwanted upgrade since contracts are instantly upgradable.

    Proposer failure
    Cannot withdraw

    Only the whitelisted proposers can publish state roots on L1, so in the event of failure the withdrawals are frozen. Proposing is gated by PreconfWhitelist, which selects a single active operator for the current epoch and has no permissionless fallback.

    Please keep in mind that these stages do not reflect project security, this is an opinionated assessment of project maturity based on subjective criteria, created with a goal of incentivizing projects to push toward better decentralization. Each team may have taken different paths to achieve this goal.

    All data required for proofs is published on chain

    All the data that is used to construct the system state is published on chain in the form of blobs. This ensures that it will be available for enough time.

    Validity proofs

    Taiko uses a multi-proof system to validate state transitions. Exactly two proofs are required from four available verifiers: SGX (Geth), SGX (Reth), SP1, and RISC0. At least one proof must come from SP1 or RISC0: accepted combinations are either SGX verifier plus either ZK verifier, or SP1 plus RISC0. An SGX-only pair is not accepted. New proposals target a proof submission cadence of 4h. Proving is currently centralized behind ProverWhitelist with 2 whitelisted provers. While the whitelist is non-empty, non-whitelisted actors cannot submit proofs, and the configured permissionless proving delay is not used to open proving. MainnetInbox currently sets minBond=0 and livenessBond=0.

    A diagram of the upgrades and governance
    A diagram of the upgrades and governance

    Taiko Alethia has a governance structure relying primarily on a 7/9 Security Council, checked by a token DAO that is limited to veto permissions. The closed operator whitelists are managed by the 4/6 Taiko Multisig and related EOAs. Governance proposals (both paths) hold all important upgrade and config permissions in the system.

    Standard proposals

    A threshold of 5 approving Security Council members is required to forward a Standard proposal to the OptimisticTokenVotingPlugin contract. It can be vetoed by 10% of votable TAIKO tokens during a 10d public veto period. If not vetoed, a further 7d timelock applies before the proposal can be executed.

    Emergency proposals

    Emergency proposals are encrypted at proposal time and can only be read by Security Council members. If approved by 7 Security Council members, they can be immediately decrypted and executed.

    Proof system and operators

    The proof system currently does not require zk proofs to validate state transitions and state can be finalized with SGX proofs only. The optional zk verifier contracts can be upgraded by Multisigs. Operator roles (sequencer, proposer) are closed and the whitelist is managed by the Taiko Multisig and related EOAs.

    Governance profile

    Security Council

    Composition

    5/9 standard · 7/9 emergency — 9-member signer set shared by custom Aragon OSx standard and emergency multisig plugins. Members were appointed by the Taiko team rather than elected and include Taiko Labs employees. Members can appoint EOA agents to act for them.

    Members public

    Mapped — Taiko publishes a member wallet-to-entity mapping. The 9 current onchain members are Aragon, Chainbound, Drew Van der Werff, Gattaca, Taiko Labs, Halborn, L2BEAT, Nethermind, and Toni Wahrstätter. Each member wallet is mapped to its voting agent onchain.

    Charter

    No public charter — the DAO values define the council’s security mission and principles, while the proposal guidelines restrict emergency proposals to protocol-security and integrity matters. Council selection, terms, conflicts, and accountability are not defined in a public charter.

    Can bypass DAO?

    Yes, for emergencies — 7 Security Council approvals execute an encrypted proposal immediately, with no TAIKO-holder veto or delay. Standard proposals require 5 approvals and remain vetoable. The council controls most core upgrades but no longer has permissions over Treasury funds.

    DAO can override SC?

    No — 10% of eligible TAIKO can block a standard proposal but never an emergency one. Token holders cannot create proposals, approve payloads, remove council members, or block emergency proposals; changing the signer list requires another council-approved proposal.

    Upgrades

    Normal upgrade path

    Security Council member creates a public executable payload → 5 council approvals → 10d token-holder veto period → if less than 10% of eligible TAIKO vetoes, 7d timelockpermissionless execution of the approved onchain actions.

    Emergency upgrade path

    7 Security Council approvals, instant — proposal metadata and actions stay encrypted while approvals are collected. A council member decrypts the payload, which is integrity-checked against the approved ciphertext and executed without a token-holder veto or timelock; its contents become public upon execution or expiry.

    Exit window

    17d standard · 0 emergency — the standard path provides 10d of public vetoing followed by a 7d timelock. Emergency proposals bypass both.

    Token governance

    Governance token

    TAIKO on Ethereum — 1,000,000,000 total supply, all minted at initialization; the current implementation has no further mint function. One delegated TAIKO equals one veto vote, snapshotted when the proposal is created. The Foundation treasury, DAO controller, canonical ERC20 vault, and zero address are excluded from eligible supply.

    Voting venue

    Taiko DAO for onchain vetoes; proposals and temperature checks are discussed on the Taiko forum.

    Proposal threshold

    No TAIKO threshold — only a Security Council member can create an onchain proposal. Community members can submit forum proposals, but a council member must sponsor the idea and supply the executable payload.

    Quorum

    No approval quorum; 10% veto threshold. Standard proposals pass optimistically unless at least 10% of eligible TAIKO at the proposal snapshot vetoes. Unused and undelegated eligible tokens still count in the denominator.

    Execution model

    Council-gated optimistic veto + permissionless execution. The Security Council approves the exact onchain actions. Token holders can only veto; if the threshold is not reached and the 7d timelock expires, anyone can call execute(). Emergency proposals skip the veto and delay.

    Past upgrades

    The metrics include upgrades on the currently used proxy contracts. Historical proxy contracts and changes of such are not included.

    The system uses whitelist-based sequencing and proving

    The system uses a whitelist-based sequencing mechanism to allow for fast preconfirmations on the L2. On the L1, batch proposing is permissioned through the PreconfWhitelist contract, which currently has 2 active operators registered. For each epoch, PreconfWhitelist selects a single active operator that can propose to MainnetInbox. There is no fallback proposer path, and non-selected operators cannot propose for the current epoch. Proving is controlled separately by ProverWhitelist, which currently has 2 whitelisted provers. While the prover whitelist is non-empty, non-whitelisted actors cannot submit proofs. MainnetInbox currently sets minBond=0 and livenessBond=0. Proving a proposal range requires exactly two proofs and at least one of them must be a ZK proof. Accepted combinations are SGX (Geth or Reth) plus SP1 or RISC0, or SP1 plus RISC0.

    • MEV can be extracted if the operator exploits their centralized position and frontruns user transactions.

    1. MainnetInbox.sol - Etherscan source code, propose function
    2. MainnetInbox.sol - Etherscan source code, prove function
    3. PreconfWhitelist.sol - Etherscan source code
    4. ProverWhitelist.sol - Etherscan source code

    Users can enqueue transactions

    Users can submit a forced inclusion directly to MainnetInbox on L1 by publishing a blob containing one L2 block manifest and calling saveForcedInclusion(). Requests are stored in a FIFO queue and cost a dynamic fee that starts at 0.001 ETH. The fee increases linearly with the queue size and doubles when 50 requests are pending. After 9m 36s, a request is due. Every subsequent proposal must process the due requests at the head of the queue, up to ten per proposal, before the proposer’s own derivation source. This prevents an active proposer from advancing the chain while selectively skipping a due request. However, propose() still unconditionally checks PreconfWhitelist. The configured 1d 1h 36m permissionless inclusion threshold is not used, so users and other unpermissioned actors cannot process the queue themselves. If all whitelisted proposers stop, the queue and the whole chain stop progressing.

    • Users can be censored if the operator is offline or refuses to process the queue.

    1. MainnetInbox.sol - Etherscan source code, saveForcedInclusion function
    2. MainnetInbox.sol - Etherscan source code, propose function

    Regular exit

    The user initiates the withdrawal by submitting a regular transaction on this chain. When the block containing that transaction is finalized the funds become available for withdrawal on L1. Finally the user submits an L1 transaction to claim the funds. This transaction requires a merkle proof.
