Taiko Alethia is an Ethereum-equivalent rollup on the Ethereum network. Taiko aims at combining based sequencing and a multi-proof system through SP1, RISC0 and TEEs.
Taiko Alethia is an Ethereum-equivalent rollup on the Ethereum network. Taiko aims at combining based sequencing and a multi-proof system through SP1, RISC0 and TEEs.
Consequence: projects without a proper proof system fully rely on single entities to safely update the state. A malicious proposer can finalize an invalid state, which can cause loss of funds.

Preconfs introduction
2025 Aug 11th
Taiko implements preconfs - whitelisted actors provide fast soft confirmations for L2 txs.
There is no mechanism to have transactions be included if the sequencer is down or censoring. Although the functionality exists in the code, it is currently disabled. Forced inclusions are disabled in the current MainnetInbox implementation, so sequencer failure or censorship leads to non-inclusion.
A multi-proof system is used. There are four verifiers available: SGX (Geth), SGX (Reth), SP1 and RISC0. Two of them must be used to prove a proposal range, and SGX (Geth) is mandatory. The end state root is supplied during the prove call and is checked against the accompanying SGX/zkVM proof. Proving is currently gated by ProverWhitelist, which has 2 whitelisted provers in discovery. While the whitelist is non-empty, non-whitelisted actors cannot submit proofs.
All of the data needed for proof construction is published on Ethereum L1.
There is no window for users to exit in case of an unwanted upgrade since contracts are instantly upgradable.
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 fallback proposer path.
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.
Taiko uses a multi-proof system to validate state transitions. The system requires two proofs among four available verifiers: SGX (Geth), SGX (Reth), SP1, and RISC0. This means that a proposal range can be proven without providing a ZK proof if SGX (Geth) and SGX (Reth) are used together. 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. The multi-proof system allows detecting bugs in the verifiers if they produce different results for the same proposal range. If such a bug is detected, the system gets automatically paused.
Funds can be stolen if a malicious block is proven by compromised SGX instances.

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.
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 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.
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.
| 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? |
| 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 timelock → permissionless 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. |
| Governance token |
|
|---|---|
| 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 |

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 3 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.
Currently, proving a proposal requires SGX (Geth), plus either SGX (Reth), SP1, or RISC0.
MEV can be extracted if the operator exploits their centralized position and frontruns user transactions.
There is no general mechanism to force the sequencer to include a transaction.
Forced inclusions are disabled in the current MainnetInbox implementation: saveForcedInclusion() always reverts and propose() only accepts zero forced inclusions.
If the selected proposer is down or censoring, user transactions that are not included by the permissioned proposer remain non-included.
Users can be censored if the operator refuses to include their transactions.

Gating router contract to verify batches using RISC Zero.
The core Layer 1 entrypoint for the Taiko rollup where L2 block batches are proposed and their corresponding state transitions are proven. Forced inclusion submission and processing are disabled in this implementation. Proposals must come from the configured proposer checker, and if the configured prover whitelist is non-empty, proofs from non-whitelisted provers revert; the configured permissionless proving delay is not used to open proving.
Gating router contract to verify batches using SP1.
Defines the prover whitelist queried by the inbox before accepting proofs. If the inbox is configured with this contract and the whitelist is non-empty, only whitelisted provers can prove proposals.
Middleware contract that maintains ownership of DAO-controlled assets and contracts. Its token weight does not count towards the DAO quorum. Member of Taiko Foundation Treasury Multisig.

Set verifier contract for RISC Zero proofs (version 0.9.0). It allows verifying a whole set of proofs identified with a Merkle root at once, afterwards each individual proof could be efficiently verified just by checking Merkle inclusion against the verified root.
Contract managing SGX DCAP attestation policy, trusted measurements, and certificate revocation data.
A router proxy that routes to verifiers based on selectors. The mapping can be changed by a permissioned owner (TimelockController).
Maps chainId-name pairs to contract addresses. Bridge and vault contracts resolve their counterparties through this registry, so changes in this mapping effectively act as contract upgrades. The pause function is intentionally disabled in this implementation.
An optimistic governance module. Standard proposals pass and can be executed unless 10% of votable TAIKO veto them within 7d. Emergency proposals can be executed without delay.
Facilitates secure cross-chain message passing by storing signals and state-root checkpoints. Bridge escrows and other applications use it to prove that a specific L1<->L2 signal or checkpointed state transition occurred via Merkle proofs. Pausing disables signal proof verification.
Modular Governance contract allowing for proposing, voting on and executing proposals (e.g. for Security Council standard proposals).
Contains the whitelist of addresses eligible to propose batches on L1 and issue preconfirmations. It dynamically selects a single active operator for each epoch using a delayed Ethereum beacon block root as randomness. There is no fallback proposer path in this contract: non-selected operators cannot propose for the current epoch.
The current deployment carries some associated risks:
Funds can be stolen if a contract receives a malicious code upgrade. There is no delay on code upgrades (CRITICAL).
