Binance TR is excited to unveil Caldera (ERA) as the 7th project in its HODLer Airdrop series — a cutting-edge modular blockchain platform designed to enable rapid, customizable, and interoperable Layer 2 solutions on Ethereum.
With its innovative Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS) model and growing exchange support, Caldera is making significant strides toward realizing the vision of an "internet of rollups."
💡 What is Caldera?
Caldera provides modular blockchain infrastructure that allows developers to launch tailored, application-specific Layer 2 rollups. These rollups can be fine-tuned with custom options such as gas tokens, data availability layers, and VM types.
Its long-term roadmap centers on the Metalayer protocol, which aims to link rollups together—enabling shared liquidity and seamless cross-chain functionality across the entire ecosystem.
Caldera is purpose-built for high-performance use cases such as DeFi, gaming, and enterprise applications, delivering the scalability and speed Ethereum has long required.
🧠 Core Features
Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS): Developers can deploy their own chains using top-tier rollup stacks like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync.
Metalayer Protocol: A modular system featuring Ethereum bridging, ultra-fast cross-chain messaging, and an SDK for seamless interoperability.
Multi-VM Support: Compatible with both EVM and SolanaVM, allowing cross-chain dApp deployment across ecosystems.
Ecosystem Scale: As of July 2025, Caldera supports over 50 active rollups, has processed more than 400 million transactions, and secures between $400M–$600M in TVL.
🤝 Backed by Leading Investors
Caldera is supported by top-tier venture capital firms such as Founders Fund, Sequoia, and Dragonfly Capital, showcasing deep institutional confidence in its mission.
It also demonstrates strong regulatory awareness — for instance, Upbit enforced South Korea’s Travel Rule for ERA deposits, highlighting Caldera’s compliance-readiness.
🎯 Why Caldera Matters
Caldera offers developers a scalable, modular, and interoperable Layer 2 framework—enabling them to launch custom chains with no compromise on performance or security. By prioritizing cross-chain connectivity, Caldera stands out as a serious Layer 2 contender alongside giants like Polygon, Optimism, and zkSync.
