Taiko Takes 🥡
It’s been a noisy few days in crypto: @0xPolygon's CEO questioned his loyalty to Ethereum, @redstone_defi parted ways with its CMO,
@EclipseFND went rogue with their Twitter marketing, an @awscloud outage took down multiple web3 protocols, and the Louvre even got robbed.
Among everything happening this week, the AWS outage highlights a critical point about decentralization. It’s funny in some ways, but it’s also telling: so much of “decentralized” web3 still sits on centralized servers. When AWS goes down, so do they.
Taiko didn't.
The bridge interface experienced a minor disruption due to a Vercel issue, but block production continued, sequencing remained online, and transactions kept flowing. Taiko doesn’t rely on a single centralized sequencer or provider. Its decentralized architecture ensures the chain keeps running even if one part of the infrastructure experiences issues.
This isn't luck. It's intentional design. Being based isn't a slogan; it's the architecture that keeps the chain running when centralized infrastructure fails. Taiko was built for decentralization from the ground up, proving what resilient web3 infrastructure looks like in practice.
Amid all the noise these past few days, this is the story that actually matters. Decentralization isn't a buzzword. It's measurable, it's provable, and it's the difference between resilience and failure.

When @taikoxyz launched its Mainnet in May 2024, it redefined Layer 2 design by prioritizing decentralization and security over raw performance.
A bold stance that, as COO Joaquin Mendes (@Joaquin_Mendes1) reveals, reflects the team’s long-term vision to build Ethereum’s first fully based rollup with uncompromising principles and a user-first ecosystem.

Taiko Based rollup L2 operates as a true public good now, completely decoupled from its engineering team. This is real on-chain governance with world-class leadership, and what credible neutrality looks like. Bullish on ownerless infrastructure 🥁🥁🥁
Taiko DAO just appointed 3 Board Directors: Joy Lam, Professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee, Professor Wen Yonggang and an Advisor, CPA Ren Jang.
These seasoned, highly accomplished leaders will supercharge our Security Council & community as binding on-chain governance goes LIVE at dao.taiko.xyz.
Another step toward an ownerless, neutral L2 truly owned by its users.

1/ @taikoxyz is now live on Dune!
Taiko is the first fully based rollup on @ethereum, meaning no centralized sequencer & pure L1-aligned execution.
Let’s look at what makes Taiko unique, and how it’s performed since launching mainnet in May 2024 🧵
