## **0.Purpose of This Template**

This template is intended for **forum discussion and early community feedback**.Forum proposals do not go on-chain directly. Instead, they help surface ideas early, gather community input, and provide the foundation for review by the **Security Council** , which currently has the authority to submit on-chain proposals.

Using this template allows proposers to:

- Introduce ideas to the Taiko DAO and ecosystem

- Hear community voice and build alignment

- Improve the chances of progressing to an on-chain vote

The goal of this post is to present a clear proposal, enable constructive discussion, and create a transparent record to support informed governance decisions.Thanks for building with Taiko, we’re excited to see what you propose!

## **1. Title**

A clear and specific title describing the proposal.

## **2. Summary (TL;DR)**
