Taiko, an Ethereum layer-2 project, is preparing for a significant upgrade named Shasta, which aims to substantially lower rollup costs. According to NS3.AI, the Shasta upgrade will streamline the system to three essential contracts, significantly reducing gas costs associated with proposing and proving. Currently undergoing internal testing, Shasta is set to be deployed on the Hoodi testnet shortly, with its mainnet launch contingent upon DAO approval.
