In the shift from monolithic chains to modular infrastructure, Caldera is emerging as a cornerstone of Ethereumâs evolution. Instead of forcing every app to compete for the same blockspace, Caldera enables app-specific rollups â tailor-made blockchains optimized for each projectâs needs.
đš Why App-Specific Rollups?
No congestion from unrelated apps
Custom gas token support (ETH, USDC, or custom)
Fine-tuned performance for DeFi, Gaming, AI, or SocialFi
This freedom turns developers into architects of their own scalable environments.
đš The Modular Advantage
Calderaâs Metalayer interconnects Optimistic and ZK rollups, allowing them to share liquidity, data, and execution. This creates a true Internet of Rollups, where apps donât just scale â they collaborate.
đš $ERA at the Core
As liquidity and assets flow across this ecosystem, $ERA becomes the lifeblood:
Used for cross-rollup transaction fees
Staked to secure validators on the Metalayer
Powering governance and coordination across the network $ERA
By combining modular design with app-specific flexibility, Caldera is positioning itself as the AWS of Web3 â serious backend for serious builders.
