Taiko block time
As of July 31, 2026, Taiko block time is 1.98 s at the median (p50, 24h window), with 2.81 s at p90 and 3.00 s at p99. Taiko ranks #6 of 10 chains measured on this benchmark.
Taiko block time is 1.98 s (p50, 24h). Taiko is a based rollup: there is no centralized sequencer; Ethereum L1 validators sequence Taiko blocks directly by including L2 proposals in L1 blocks, which means Taiko's effective slot is bounded below by Ethereum's 12 s slot. The architecture trades raw L2 cadence for inheriting Ethereum's liveness and censorship-resistance. Measured via `newHeads` on the public Taiko WebSocket.
