The primary goal of Taiko is to develop a decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup to significantly enhance the scalability of the Ethereum network. This involves increasing transaction throughput and reducing costs while ensuring robust security and decentralization.

By using zero-knowledge proofs, Taiko aims to process transactions off-chain and validate them on-chain efficiently, thereby alleviating congestion on the Ethereum mainnet and improving the overall user experience. Their focus is on maintaining full compatibility with Ethereum to facilitate seamless integration and interoperability within the existing ecosystem.
