On July 31st, Taiko, an official of the Layer2 network of Ethereum based on zkRollup, posted a message on the X platform, saying that recent media reports that the Ethereum Foundation sold tokens and abandoned its projects were released without trying to contact Taiko to verify the information, which lacked basic investigative and professional journalistic spirit. Taiko pointed out that no tokens have been sent to the Ethereum Foundation so far, and reiterated its close cooperation with the Ethereum Foundation. As the first Based Rollup, Taiko has always maintained this position. Recently, in the EthCC activity, Vitalik called Taiko "EVM purist" in his keynote speech, which further confirmed the connection between the two.
