Skyland Ventures (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; General Partner & CEO: Yoshihiko Kinoshita, hereinafter referred to as SV) has announced its participation in the funding round of Taiko, a fully decentralized Ethereum-equivalent (Type 1) ZK-Rollup.

As a result of its use of the Ethereum execution environment, Taiko is called a “ZK-EVM”. When it comes to ZK-EVMs, various players are often discussed collectively, but in reality, there are significant differences in their degree of compatibility with Ethereum.
