A new DeFI project I just discovered is Taiko which is an open-source, community-driven project focused on building a decentralized scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain. This project has attracted $22 million in investments from major players like Seqouia China, IOSG Ventures, OKX Ventures, KuCoin Ventures, and others, received mentions from Vitalik Buterin, and support from leading funds and tier-one projects. They also promise there are no centralized actors that operate the network; all operations are permissionlessly run by the community.
The project sounds good and and the TKO tokens are set to list soon, during my research I found out there's currently a pre-market for this token and I'm wondering if buying and investing early pre-listing is the right choice
What are your thoughts about this project and token?

Taiko developing a useless products. Only fewer people are using it now. It's not all of project mentioned by viltalik became successful.
Taiko has not even listed on l2beat.

Zkrollup blockchain is rarely getting successful compared to the optimistic rollup blockchain. As you can see that how starknet, line or even era have less TVL compared to the new blockchain like blast which has been sitting at the 4 place under base blockchain.
Even it was surpassing mantle blockchain by bybit. I think that price will be dumping so hard at the listing phase. Taiko's hype is not as big as blast.
