Taiko: We are currently working on upgrading the Taiko-based rollup protocol to version 1.9.0, and preparing for the Ontake fork

September 13 news, Taiko announced on X that the team is working to upgrade the rollup protocol based on Taiko to the new version 1.9.0 and prepare for Ontake (the first fork of TaikoBCR protocol). Ontake can bring the following features to Taiko L2:

- Enhanced L2EIP-1559: The base fee in L1 is adjustable, and ultimately all relevant parameters will be managed by DAO of L1;

- Preliminary support for reconfirmation of transactions: Block proposers can definitively construct multiple blocks without having to submit old blocks to L1 first;

- Batch support: Blocks can be proposed and proven as a batch, opening up possibilities for proof aggregation which will further reduce Gas costs;

- Calldata from contract proposers: Proposers can use Calldata without signature verification. This means that when using Calldata for data availability, proposers could either be contracts or EOAs.
