Event description
- Taiko, a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, requires all Hekla testnet provers to upgrade their software by April 15, 2025, to support Multiproving with Pacaya and sgxGeth proofs, a step toward enabling Based Preconfirmations for faster transaction validation.
- Hekla, launched April 25, 2024, is Taiko’s testnet for transitioning to mainnet with Based Contestable Rollup architecture, incorporating EIP-4844 to use “blobs” for data efficiency, which has improved Ethereum layer-2 throughput by 50% since 2023 per Chainalysis data.
- Multiproving enhances security using a tiered proof system (SGX, ZK, and Guardian tiers), but the Guardian tier’s override capability raises centralization concerns, as a single Guardian can alter proofs, a risk noted in layer-2 governance studies like L2Beat’s 2024 report.
