According to official news, 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 improve the Gas optimization strategy, it will now shift its focus to new features and improvements, and has identified several key areas of development: 1. Enhance L2 EIP-1559; 2. Transaction Preconfirmation; 3. Introduce a new transaction type Sponsored Transactions; 4. Cancun EVM support; 5. Enable contracts to use Calldata as DA; 6. Enhance Min-Tier selection. In addition, the upgraded version of Ontake will include several features and improvements outlined above, and plans to start testing on the Hekla testnet before October, and then upgrade the mainnet in Q4 of this year.
