## What it is
Taiko Alethia is the monorepo for Taiko, the first type-1 (Ethereum-equivalent) based rollup protocol on Ethereum, where L1 validators sequence blocks with no centralized sequencer. It contains protocol smart contracts, a node client, a geth fork, bridge UI, relayer, event indexer, and supporting services.

## Use cases
- deploy smart contracts on an Ethereum-equivalent layer 2
- run a Taiko node or proposer/prover
- bridge tokens between Ethereum and Taiko
- understand based rollup protocol specs
- index bridge and protocol events
- participate in Taiko DAO governance

## When to choose
- you need an L2 with full EVM equivalence and standard tooling
- you want a rollup without a centralized sequencer
- you're building dapps or infrastructure on Taiko

## When to avoid
- you need a simple turnkey L2 with centralized sequencing
- you want a non-EVM execution environment
- you need a fully stable, audited release rather than the actively-developed main branch

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: blockchain, sdk, developer-tools, cryptography
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: cross-platform, go, rust, self-hosted
- tags: ethereum, rollup, layer2, based-rollup, zk, smart-contracts, monorepo, bridge, evm-equivalent, decentralized-sequencer, cryptocurrency, typescript
