Differences from Ethereum
Parameter | Ethereum | Taiko | Reasoning |
---|---|---|---|
Block gas limit | 30,000,000 gas | 240,000,000 gas | Currently in Raiko, memory use scales linearly with block size both in the host (witness generation) and in the guest (memory use inside the VM/program being proven) so we set the block gas limit to 240m gas. |
Block gas target | 15,000,000 gas | 60,000,000 gas (per L1 block) | Assuming an L2 block time of ~3 seconds will have a ~15,000,000 gas target. |
Block time | 12 seconds | 12-20~ seconds | Currently, we are the only block proposer. Once we move to decentralized proposing / achieve preconfirmations, this value is expected to decrease. |
