We're thrilled to share the exceptional milestones achieved by our team one month after the mainnet launch. In this blog you can dive deeper into numbers, achievements and what's coming soon on Taiko: https://lnkd.in/deYim5Yc

We are grateful for the recognition and support from our investors Hashed! We will continue to strive and iterate on our technology. We are proud to be the first Ethereum Layer 2 to enable permissionless proposing and proving! https://lnkd.in/gEU88ZFn

Congratulations to Token Bay Capital, one of Taiko’s long-standing investors, on the ground-breaking achievement of obtaining the first-of-its-kind crypto license in Abu Dhabi. This license will not only enable Token Bay Capital to invest in both the equity and tokens of crypto start-ups, thereby broadening investment scope, it also reflects Token Bay Capital’s dedication and vision and sets the stage for potential collaborations with Taiko in the region. This milestone is a testament to Token Bay Capital’s pioneering spirit and strategic foresight! We are thrilled to witness this momentous occasion and eagerly anticipate the promising ventures that will unfold as a result. https://lnkd.in/gzVUJ4hs

Congrats Espresso Systems! We're thrilled to support the incredible Espresso team and excited for future collaborations. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/gxrDBkxk

We are proud investors in Taiko Labs series A alongside Lightspeed, Hashed, and more top tier partners. Taiko has emerged as a leader in the Ethereum scalability landscape featuring: - Unique protocol design - 850k Discord members - Over 100 live apps Looking ahead towards mainnet launch, Based Boosted Rollups are set to disrupt the layer-2 ecosystem this year. Congratulations to the Taiko team and community on this achievement and milestone! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/geHntCrV

We are excited to announce our investment into Taiko Labs Series A round. Taiko Labs is the team that builds Taiko - a Based Rollup and Type 1 zk-EVM that aims to solve scaling problem in Ethereum. We believe Taiko's approach has unique strengths that can ease one of most pressing issues in the ecosystem and propel mass adoption of blockchain. Official announcement: https://lnkd.in/gEURc8Jv

Token Bay Capital is thrilled to co-lead Taiko Labs' US$15 million Series-A ahead of their mainnet launch this year 🚀 along with Lightspeed Faction, Hashed and Generative Ventures. As we head into a world where crypto is as ubiquitous in our lives as the internet has been over the last two decades, projects such as Taiko are key to solving Ethereum's scalability issue so that crypto adoption is possible for billions of users around the world. Currently there are only ~580 million crypto holders globally so infrastructure developments, such as Taiko's Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution, are vital to enable crypto to become more scalable and accessible, catalyzing crypto's 'broadband moment". We've backed the talented Taiko team and community of builders since their seed round as they are on a mission to scale #ethereum whilst at the same time preserving the blockchain's core principles, both technologically and ideologically. Over the last few months, Taiko has grown to become the largest Discord community in the rollups space, with almost 900,000 active members and there are already over 100 live apps in the Taiko ecosystem today. On top of that, they've conducted six testnets, each focused on different aspects of the protocol, involving 1,100,000+ unique wallets, 30,000+ proposers, and 14,000+ provers. In each of these testnets, Taiko community members contributed by building dapps, operating nodes, serving as proposers and provers, and engaging with the protocol in various ways — all permissionlessly. They launched their 6th testnet, Katla, earlier this year. Katla is the first testnet to use Taiko’s Based Contestable Rollup (BCR) design and serves as the foundation of Taiko’s upcoming mainnet launch. In the future, Taiko will develop the Based Booster Rollup (BBR), a design that tackles the liquidity fragmentation issue by allowing developers to deploy on Ethereum and scale natively across all L2s. Lucy Gazmararian, Founder of Token Bay Capital, emphasized Taiko's adherence to crypto's original ethos. “Taiko has been fully decentralized and permissionless from day one, staying true to crypto’s original ethos,” Gazmararian said. “These core values place Taiko in a strong position to become the default scaling solution for Ethereum, and we look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with the team, helping them to scale across Asia and the Middle East from Token Bay’s hubs in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong.” Congratulations to co-founders Daniel Wang, Terence Lam and Brecht Devos for your inspirational leadership, go team Taiko! https://lnkd.in/gdkuRVkT #crypto #cryptocurrency #blockchain #eth #bitcoin #smartcontracts #tokenization #tokeneconomy #innovation
