Caldera $ERA — Building the Metalayer for Ethereum Rollups
The crypto world is expanding fast—and Caldera is one of the few projects solving what comes after the Layer 2 explosion
🔹 What is Caldera?
Caldera started as a Rollup-as-a-Service platform helping developers launch custom Layer 2 chains using frameworks like Optimism, Arbitrum, and ZK-rollups
But it has since evolved into something much bigger:
A Metalayer that connects and powers 60+ rollups, enabling seamless interoperability, shared liquidity, and scalable app deployment across the entire rollup ecosystem.
🔹 What Makes It Special?
• Omnichain Gas: ERA will act as a universal gas token across all Caldera-based rollups
• Custom Subnets: Projects can launch fully customizable rollups, tailored to their specific needs
• Native Interoperability: Built-in infrastructure for smooth cross-rollup communication
• Scalability at Core: Designed for high throughput, low fees and fast finality
🔹 Who’s Backing It?
Caldera has secured over $24M in funding from top-tier VCs including:
• Sequoia Capital
• Dragonfly
• Founders Fund
This backing gives Caldera the firepower to continue scaling infrastructure while maintaining deep developer and ecosystem support
🔹 Why It Matters
As Ethereum Layer 2s continue to multiply, fragmentation is becoming a real challenge
Caldera is addressing this head-on by turning isolated rollups into an interconnected ecosystem
It’s not just another L2.
It’s the layer that connects all L2s.
Final Thought
If Ethereum is the base layer for Web3, Caldera is building the bridge that ties it all together rollups, apps, users, and liquidity.
$ERA is the fuel for that vision
