# Taiko Collaborates with Commit-Boost and Fabric to Standardize Preconfirmation in Ethereum Ecosystem
Taiko ($TAIKO), an Ethereum scaling solution, has announced a strategic collaboration with Commit-Boost and Fabric, aiming to standardize preconfirmation across the Ethereum ecosystem.
The integration will develop an open-source, nonprofit infrastructure spanning from Layer 1 to Layer 2. This trio of projects asserts that preconfirmation is poised to drastically improve the rollup user experience and is set to be fully implemented in Layer 1 by 2025.
# Preconfirmation: Enhancing User Experience on Layer 2
Preconfirmation is designed to mitigate the delayed user experience caused by the lag between transactions submitted on Layer 2 and their finalization on Layer 1. It guarantees in advance which Layer 1 block will record a given Layer 2 transaction.
# Transition to Based Rollups Accelerates with Pacaya Fork
To advance the implementation of ‘Based Rollup’—a rollup tightly integrated with Ethereum—Taiko is proceeding with the ‘Pacaya Fork’ based on Aletheia. This shift moves beyond the current ‘Contestable Rollup’ architecture to a preconfirmation-centric structure.
Key changes in the Pacaya Fork include batch-based block formation, streamlined proof structures, initial preconfirmation implementations, an updated smart contract framework, and an enhanced block proposer system. Initially, a whitelist approach (including Nethermind and Chainbound) will be used, with a future aim of achieving full decentralization through staking and slashing mechanisms.
Taiko emphasizes that this model secures both rapid feedback and resistance to censorship, enhancing user transaction speed and overall user experience.
# Commit-Boost Aims to Expand Validator Participation
Commit-Boost is a sidecar solution enabling Ethereum validators to participate in preconfirmation. Currently, around 70 teams are involved in development and auditing efforts.
This solution will provide rollup users and developers with quicker transaction feedback. As demand for preconfirmation grows, block construction efficiency is expected to improve, benefiting the entire Ethereum network. The partnership is likely to drive wider adoption of Commit-Boost among validators.
# Fabric Offers Rollup Tools for All Users
Fabric provides a toolkit including preconfirmation-based block generation logic, standardized block proposal commitments, and a universal registry. The goal is to achieve interoperability and an integrated framework across various rollups.
Fabric emphasizes the need for a common protocol among multiple rollups, validators, and users to realize preconfirmation. The focus remains on decentralization and compatibility.
# Preconfirmation: The Next-Generation Standard for the Ethereum Ecosystem?
In a joint statement, the three projects declared preconfirmation as a critical technology for enhancing the rollup user experience and contributing to Ethereum’s scalability. They are accelerating efforts to standardize its application to Layer 1.
This collaboration goes beyond individual project functionalities, boosting the likelihood of preconfirmation becoming the next-generation technology standard in the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
