Caldera — The Launchpad Accelerating Ethereum Scaling
Caldera is emerging as the key infrastructure behind Ethereum's fastest-growing Layer-2 networks. Built on top of rollup stacks like Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, its platform allows developers to spin up app-specific rollups quickly and effortlessly—think high-speed transactions, ultra-low gas fees, and full flexibility.
Why it’s impactful:
Developers can deploy custom modular rollups in minutes, with choices for gas tokens, VM (EVM or SolanaVM), and data availability (Ethereum, Celestia, NEAR).
Caldera’s Metalayer protocol connects all deployed rollups, enabling shared liquidity and cross-rollup messaging in seconds.
Key stats (Mid‑2025):
60 + live rollups including projects like Manta Pacific, ApeChain, and Injective’s inEVM
1.8M+ unique wallets, $550M–$800M TVL, and hundreds of millions of transactions processed
Use cases:
DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, gaming ecosystems, enterprise infrastructure, and DAO tooling are all powered by Caldera’s stack.
Bottom line: With its Rollup Engine and Metalayer architecture, Caldera is enabling Web3 builders to launch high-performance chains fast—while retaining interoperability and developer control.
