Taiko (TAIKO) is the native token of the Taiko protocol, an Ethereum-based ZK-rollup network designed to be fully EVM-equivalent. Users swap TAIKO to participate in the Taiko ecosystem, cover protocol-related costs, or rebalance portfolios that include Ethereum layer-2 assets. Because TAIKO runs exclusively on Ethereum, swaps settle through the Ethereum network.
Before swapping TAIKO, confirm that your receiving wallet supports ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, as TAIKO is only available on that network. Double-check that the destination address is a valid Ethereum address — sending to an address on any other network will result in lost funds. Ethereum confirmation times can vary depending on network congestion, so factor in some flexibility around timing. The Zest widget displays the estimated rate and all relevant details before you confirm the swap, so review those figures carefully before proceeding. No memo or destination tag is required for TAIKO transactions.
