Taiko's Inaugural "Based Rollup Summit": Top 10 Key Highlights
Source: Taiko
As Ethereum's first Based Rollup scaling solution, Taiko successfully held the inaugural "Based Rollup Summit." This summit brought together leaders, developers, and enthusiasts from the Ethereum ecosystem to discuss the importance of Based Rollup development and its critical role in driving the next phase of Ethereum growth.
The summit took place at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, a museum that integrates technology, science, and art. It aimed to educate participants in the Ethereum community about relevant knowledge and provide a platform for developers to share their expectations and vision for Based Rollup development.
Here are the top 10 key insights from industry leaders at the summit:
1. Key Analysis of Based Rollup
In his opening address, Taiko's Chief Operating Officer Joaquin Mendes told the audience, "This is a unique opportunity to delve into key future Ethereum topics."
Mendes elaborated on the fundamental concept of Based Rollup, ensuring that participants could keep up with subsequent speeches, discussions, and demos, delving into more specific technical content.
2. Artificial Intelligence and Verifiability: The Role of Zero-Knowledge Cryptography
In the "Verifiability of Artificial Intelligence" discussion, Stanford Blockchain Research Center co-founder Professor Dan Boneh shared the application of zero-knowledge cryptography and how it enhances AI trustworthiness.
"The answer lies in traceability. Traceability and authenticity of content are a standard. The core idea is that each piece of content will have a signature proving its source, and your camera will use a private key to sign it."
He emphasized that future AI-generated content (such as images, videos) will be validated through the C2PA (Content Authenticity and Provenance Alliance) to ensure transparent sourcing.
3. Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin's Vision for Based Rollup
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented his vision for the future of Ethereum, emphasizing the key role Based Rollup technology plays in Ethereum's scalability.
「The most ideal future is a social network based on Ethereum that is open, free, not controlled by monopolies, and yet has high-quality content for user experience. Let's harness the 10,000 TPS brought by Taiko and turn this vision into reality.」
His speech received enthusiastic applause from the live audience.
4. Preconfirmations: Key Breakthrough of Based Rollup
The keyword of the day was 「preconfirmations.」 This technology aims to accelerate the final confirmation speed of transactions, enabling the Based Rollup scheme to compete with existing Rollups.
Taiko engineer Jeff Walsh introduced Taiko's breakthrough in the preconfirmation mechanism, stating:
「We are not only the first Based Rollup scheme but will also be the first team to achieve decentralization, permissionlessness, and include multiple preconfirmation mechanisms.」
5. Challenges and Opportunities of 'Integrating Ethereum'
Espresso senior engineer Keyao Shen delved into the fragmentation issue of the Ethereum network during the summit and emphasized the need for a more robust cross-chain protocol.
「We are in an era where 'good times create weak protocols,' and we need to address this issue. The approach is to eliminate single points of failure and strengthen cross-chain interoperability protocols.」
6. Luban Co-founder Harry Gao Redefines 'Based Rollup'
Harry Gao challenged the existing definition of Based Rollup at the summit, proposing a broader perspective.
「Perhaps internally, we should broaden the definition of Based Rollup... If the core operation of Rollup is driven by the trustful commitment provided by L1, then it can be considered a Based Rollup.」
7. Technical Development Path of Based Rollup
Interstate founder Irfan Shaik dissected the development path of Based Rollup and emphasized the value of preconfirmations as a key technology.
「A key limitation of Based Rollup is that the block time on L2 is the same as L1... Pre-commitment can reduce the L2 block time, providing early assurance of future inclusion.」
8. Based Rollup is not a single-chain decision but a chain-wide development
Taiko engineer Cecilia Zhang emphasized that building Based Rollup is not just a choice for a particular chain, but an evolution of the entire ecosystem.
「Based Rollup is a very natural engineering development trend. Faced with the current fragmented situation, we can clearly see that this is the right direction for development.」
9. Ethereum's Long-term Development and the Rollup Ecosystem
Nethermind founder Tomasz Stanczak emphasized that the open design of Based Rollup will ensure Ethereum's decentralized future.
「The ideal future is for Ethereum to become a global coordination layer, no longer limited by boundaries between chains, where everyone can freely participate in economic activities, and all resource allocations can be done in a more natural, human-centric way.」
10. 2025 and Beyond Outlook: Breakthrough in Zero-Knowledge Cryptography
Jay Yu, President of the Stanford Blockchain Club and investor at Pantera, looked ahead to the 2025 blockchain technology development trends, believing that zero-knowledge cryptography will be a core driver.
「I believe that an acceleration of cutting-edge cryptography research is happening. In recent years, we have witnessed rapid development in zero-knowledge technology, and now we have ZK provers and their infrastructure... It's exciting that entrepreneurs can build businesses based on these new cryptographic primitives and drive the next generation of verifiable internet.」
Conclusion
At the end of the summit, participants exchanged insights and looked forward to the next "Based Rollup Future Summit." In July 2025, the summit will be held again during the EthCC conference in Cannes, France. Stay tuned!

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
