According to Odaily Planet Daily, Taiko said that since the mainnet was launched, its team has been working hard to optimize the protocol and has reduced the L1 Gas cost by more than 30% while maintaining the upgradeability of the contract.

As the team continues to refine its Gas optimization strategy, the focus is now shifting to new features and improvements, and several key areas of development have been identified: enhancing L2 EIP-1559, transaction pre-confirmation, introducing a new transaction type Sponsored Transactions, Cancun EVM support, enabling contracts to use Calldata as DA, and enhancing minimum layer selection.

In addition, the Ontake upgraded version will include several of the features and improvements outlined above, and is scheduled to begin testing on the Hekla testnet by October, followed by a mainnet upgrade in Q4 of this year.
