Taiko Hosts First-Ever Based Rollup Summit to Promote Ethereum’s Permissionless Future

5 March 2025, San Francisco – Taiko, the first based rollup scaling Ethereum, is bringing together the brightest minds in Ethereum to discuss based rollups, the next phase in Ethereum scaling.

“We are proud to be hosting this inaugural event at such a pivotal moment for Ethereum. The network has grown and developed significantly since its inception, and we are now entering a new phase of development. Being permissionless is no longer an option but rather is central to Ethereum’s long-term success. Based rollups are at the forefront of making a usable, permissionless, and adaptable Ethereum possible. The Based Rollup Summit represents the first dedicated gathering of those pioneering minds taking Ethereum even further,” said Joaquin Mendes, COO of Taiko.

The speaker list is filled with innovators building in the based rollup and scalability space, including Near Protocol, Netheremind, Succinct, Espreso Systems, Spire, and Puffer.

Those attending will be able to get up to speed with the based rollup ecosystem and experience full access to the Exploratorium’s exhibits, placing based rollups in the larger context of technological development.

Attendees can also expect to talk and interact with founders, developers, investors, and visionaries shaping the future of Layer 2 solutions, cryptocurrencies, and artificial intelligence. Teams including a16z, Near, Succint, Bankless, Puffer, Lubin, Fabric, Espresso Systems, L2IV, SNZ Holdings, Hashed, and Stanford Blockchain.
