If applicable to your project, Taiko-related bounty submissions should be deployed on / interface with our alpha-3 testnet.

Deploy on Taiko 👷

Deploy your dapp, tool, or whichever useful smart contract you are building on Taiko. This could be in the realm of DeFi, NFTs, social, gaming, and much more. As an Ethereum-equivalent ZK-EVM, this means you can build exactly as you do for Ethereum L1 and just change the RPC—your Solidity code and favorite tooling work out-of-the-box.

Infrastructure 🧱

Help build out infrastructure for Taiko with core or surrounding components that increase the robustness of the network. This can be in domains such as inception layers (using Taiko as an L2 and deploying the exact codebase as an L3 on top for more scale), MEV on L2, cross-layer communications gadgets, node running tools, etc.

Hint: given Taiko's Ethereum-equivalence, much of what exists on Ethereum can be repurposed for Taiko!

Ideas to consider:

• A GUI wizard to allow anyone to easily deploy their own Taiko L3 rollup (can integrate with existing wizards as well)
• An updated block explorer (e.g., unified explorer with both L2/L3 data, or modify the Blockscout explorer homepage to show useful rollup status metrics)
• Integrate L1 searcher-builder-proposer infrastructure like “mev-boost” for Taiko
• Improve block proposing mechanism (e.g., taking into account calldata cost, or even future-looking towards blobspace considerations)
• Help bring about based rollups by making it extra easy for Ethereum validators to participate as Taiko proposers
• Implement account abstraction with ERC-4337 components

Ethereum Public Goods 🌏

We’re here to extend Ethereum. And because we are Ethereum-equivalent, almost anything you build for Ethereum, we can likely make use of! That goes both ways, building on Taiko naturally contributes upstream to the broader Ethereum space. So go deep and build something that pushes Ethereum and its overarching mission forward.
