Greetings, Trailblazers!

Taiko Alethia, the first-ever based rollup, went live just over a year ago. A fully Ethereum-aligned network that represented the best of blockchain, decentralization, and innovation. But it needed to go even further.

Greetings, Trailblazers!

We're incredibly excited to partner with Dune and bring Taiko's data to life in a way that's open, accessible, and truly empowering for the entire community.

Nearly a month ago, we introduced the “Trailblazer” role to recognize our most passionate community members. The deadline to obtain this role was July 10, and we're happy to see how many of you embraced this change and supported our decision. This role unlocks 100% of the rewards earned by reaching a certain level.

Foundation Built, Future Ignited.

We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership with Nethermind, bringing together two teams deeply aligned on the vision of a decentralized, performant, and production-ready based rollup stack. This collaboration is grounded in a shared commitment to advancing the frontier of Layer 2 infrastructure with a clear focus on decentralization, sequencing innovation, and trust-minimized design. Together, we’re working to accelerate the evolution of the based rollup ecosystem, turning research into resilient, permissionless systems ready for mainnet.

Alongside EthCC Cannes 2025, we, as the first based rollup scaling Ethereum, hosted the second Based Rollup Summit in Cannes, continuing the vital conversation around the future of Ethereum scalability.

Just over a year ago in June, we launched Trailblazers, a program that rewards Taiko mainnet participants every three months. Thanks to the incredible interest and passion from our community, it quickly became one of the most successful community initiatives to date.
