Upcoming Upgrade of Taiko BCR Mainnet Protocol
Taiko is preparing to release version 1.7.0 of its BCR mainnet protocol on July 1st. This upgrade will bring significant changes to the protocol, affecting block proposers and provers. Let’s dive into the details of this upcoming release and how it will impact the Taiko ecosystem.
Hekla Protocol Already Enhanced
- The Hekla protocol has already undergone upgrades, potentially causing issues for block proposals and proving transactions.
- Block proposers and provers are advised to promptly update their transaction parameters to prevent any disruptions in the network.
Key Changes for Block Proposers and Provers
- The new protocol requires the block’s assigned prover to also act as the proposer.
- This change means that certain block proposal parameters will be deprecated and not considered, aiming to optimize gas usage by eliminating expensive hook calls.
Important Updates:
- Block proposers must now prove their own blocks or risk losing their liveness bond.
- Those collaborating with a prover partner or using two EOAs for proposing and proving blocks need to deploy a contract to call specific functions.
Additional Modifications in the Upgrade
- The upgrade will decrease the liveness bond and SGX proofs’ validity and contestation bond by 50%, enabling more participants to engage with Taiko’s permissionless transaction sequencing.
- Minor changes in data persistence on Ethereum will lead to lower gas costs and reduce the gas footprint on L1 post-upgrade.
Seeking Feedback and Contribution
- Taiko welcomes feedback from proposers, provers, Ethereum researchers, and all users to enhance the protocol.
- Contributors can actively participate in Taiko’s development on GitHub, earning recognition and rewards for their contributions.
