“Imagine a world with millions of blockchains. Not competing—but working together.”
–Caldera's Vision
The Blockchain World is Too Complicated
If you've been in the crypto space long enough, you're probably familiar with this classic drama:
Slow transactions during peak times
Complicated bridging between chains
And a fragmented ecosystem—each chain operates independently
Gas fees can be shocking
we often encounter nonsensical gas fees
The solution? Layer-2. But most L2s are just about “cost reduction,” without addressing the massive interoperability and scalability issues.
Well, this is where Caldera comes in. Not just an ordinary Layer-2 solution, but The Internet of Rollups—a revolutionary approach that will change the way we build and use blockchains.
🔥 Caldera: Opening a New Era of Multi-Chain
Caldera is a platform that allows anyone to create high-performance blockchains in just minutes. A Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform that enables developers to launch rollups tailored to their application's needs.
Behind its simplicity, there are two main components that serve as the foundation of Caldera:
⚙️ Rollup Engine
A powerful tool that enables instant launch of new chains. High performance, low cost, and suitable for specific scenarios—from DeFi, games, to AI.
🔗 Metalayer
This is the heart of Caldera's interoperability. Metalayer connects all chains built on Caldera, allowing assets and data to move seamlessly—without complicated bridges or high fees.
🧠 Caldera's Vision: Millions of Connected Blockchains
Caldera believes in horizontal scaling: not one chain for all, but many chains for many needs.
Like the internet built on many servers, the future of Web3 will be powered by millions of blockchains working together. Every application can have its own chain—customized, optimized, and connected to the global ecosystem.
And Caldera is building it.
📈 Caldera Ecosystem
High-profile projects like #MANTA , #INJ , and others are already integrated with Caldera. Complete details are in the ecosystem map below:

All use Caldera as their infrastructure foundation. The result:
✅ 850 million+ transactions
✅ 27 million+ unique addresses
✅ $400 million+ TVL (Total Value Locked)
Interesting fact: the number of unique Caldera users surpasses several of the most popular Layer-2s like Scroll and zkSync. And it's not just DeFi—Caldera is also used by cutting-edge projects in the AI and DePin (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) fields such as:
Bluwhale
Spheron
Cluster Protocol
Huddle01
Rivalz
etc.
💎 Caldera's Core Principles
Go Horizontal
Blockchains should not be monopolized by one large chain. The future is millions of flexible, connected, and collaborative chains.
More is More
The more chains, the more innovation. Caldera does not limit—it encourages the birth of new chains for various specific use cases.
Make it a Chain
With one-click rollup deployment features and developer-friendly tooling, anyone can turn their application into a blockchain. Even social or e-commerce applications can be on-chain native.
🥇 Why is Caldera Superior?
Real Products and Ready to Use
30+ active chains on the mainnet
The only rollup engine that supports Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync
Supports various stacks & VMs, including the beta version of SVM (Solana VM)
Multi-Settlement Layer
Caldera is a pioneer in supporting various settlement layers like Hyperliquid (Sovrun) and Berachain, opening new possibilities for interoperability.
Real Growth
Caldera's adoption is faster than its competitors. Their infrastructure has surpassed general-purpose Layer-2s in user numbers and transactions.

⚙️ Functions and Utility of ERA
ERA is designed to be versatile with a vital role in governance and operations across the Caldera ecosystem:
Omnichain Gas Token
Used to pay for cross-chain transaction gas fees and data propagation via Metalayer
Staking & Network Security
Validator nodes must stake ERA to secure cross-chain messages and future infrastructure like ZK subnets.
Decentralized Governance
ERA holders have voting rights for:
Protocol upgrades (Caldera Improvement Proposals/CIP)
Treasury allocation for grants to various projects
Selection of foundation directors, security council, and long-term strategy.
Cross-Chain and Subnet Services Operations
ERA supports services such as Zero-Knowledge proof generation handled by specialized subnets. ERA is also used as fuel for bridging between Caldera rollups.
