Caldera is redefining Ethereum’s Layer-2 landscape with its modular Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform and cross-chain Metalayer protocol. Designed to solve fragmentation in the fast-growing rollup ecosystem, Caldera empowers developers to launch high-performance, customizable chains while enabling seamless interoperability—all secured by its native $ERA token.
Core Advantages
Instant Rollup Deployment
Caldera’s Rollup Engine allows projects to deploy production-ready chains in minutes, supporting multiple tech stacks (Arbitrum Nitro, OP Stack, ZK Rollups) with built-in infrastructure like high-availability sequencers, RPC nodes, and data indexers. Chains achieve 20,000+ TPS with gas fees as low as $0.001, making them ideal for high-throughput dApps.
Native Cross-Chain Interoperability
Unlike competitors relying on third-party bridges, Caldera’s Metalayer integrates:
An intent engine for declarative cross-chain execution (e.g., "Swap Token X on Chain A for Token Y on Chain B").
A secure messaging protocol (based on Hyperlane) enabling sub-second communication between chains.
This eliminates liquidity silos and reduces risks like bridge hacks—a critical edge in the multi-billion-dollar interoperability market.
The $ERA Token Economy
$ERA is the backbone of Caldera’s ecosystem, with utilities including:
Gas Fees: All transactions on Caldera-powered chains pay fees in $ERA.
Staking & Security: Future upgrades will let users stake $ERA to validate cross-chain transactions and earn rewards.
Governance: Holders vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and ecosystem grants.
Traction & Vision
With 30+ live mainnets (25% of Ethereum’s rollup market), $400M+ TVL, and 27.6M wallets, Caldera is already a leader in RaaS. Its user base spans key crypto markets like the U.S., India, and Southeast Asia.
By merging effortless rollup deployment with trustless interoperability, Caldera is building the foundation for a unified multi-chain future—with $ERA at its core.
