In response to community feedback that the Taiko protocol is more expensive than other L2 networks, Taiko has explained on the X platform that the Taiko Protocol involves more logic and storage. The current implementation uses several upgradeable proxies, which increases the additional delegation call costs. In addition, the on-chain blocks are not proposed or proven in batches, and the proposer and Ethereum need to interact more frequently to compete for block space and ensure on-chain activity, but this leads to the on-chain ring buffer not being exhausted, making storage writing more expensive. This situation is expected to take about 40 to 60 days to improve. Decentralization and permissionlessness come at a cost, and if there are a large number of transactions on L2, the Rollup-based solution is still viable and profitable for block proposers and validators, especially when using MEV. Taiko is committed to further optimization and hopes that others will be interested in and help improve the codebase. Taiko's Trailblazers project will incentivize block proposers.
