Taiko adds RISC Zero ZK proofs to its multi-proof based rollup
Quote225 words
Taiko moves from TEE-only proofs to a multi-proof setup adding RISC Zero R0 and Succinct SP1 alongside SGX, becoming the first based ZK rollup on Ethereum. Multi-proof hedges against bugs in any single proving system.
Key claims
Taiko becomes the first based ZK rollup on Ethereum
Multi-proof reduces dependency on any single proving system

@taikoxyz, a based rollup on Ethereum, is integrating ZK proofs powered by @RiscZero on mainnet, adding to its unique multi-proof architecture.
This is a major security upgrade as the network matures.

Until now, Taiko solely relied on TEE proofs, a favourable choice due to the fast proof generation and state verification this proof type enables.
With the integration of @RiscZero's R0 zkVMs and @SuccinctLabs' SP1, alongside SGX, Taiko becomes the first based (sequenced by L1) ZK rollup on Ethereum.

The multi-proof approach helps to hedge the risk of bugs and vulnerabilities in specific proving systems, architectures, and implementations, significantly reducing the rollup's dependency on these specific, individual components.

If you're a user, nothing will change except the network providing better security guarantees.
If you are or intend to become a Taiko block proposer though, now is the time to set up your ZK prover.
To do so, it is recommended to explore Taiko's Hekla testnet and mainnet configurations to become familiar with the unique multi-proof design.
