This is the official governance and community forum for Taiko DAO. The decentralized collective governing the Taiko protocol, a based, decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent ZK-Rollup.
Here, the DAO comes to life. This is where community participation directly shapes the future of the Taiko protocol. We discuss, debate, propose, and decide together. From protocol upgrades and treasury management to ecosystem grants and public goods funding. This forum is where governance begins.
How the DAO Forum Works
This forum serves as the first stage of Taiko’s governance process:
-
Discussion → Share ideas, gather feedback, and refine proposals before they move on-chain.
-
Temperature Check → Gauge community sentiment with informal polls.
-
Governance Proposal Drafting → Structure formal proposals for on-chain voting.
-
Announcements & Updates → Follow DAO decisions, treasury reports, and ecosystem news.
For a proposal to advance to an on-chain vote, it should first be shared and discussed here, unless emergency circumstances require otherwise.
