Binance TR is excited to announce Caldera (ERA) as its 7th HODLer Airdrop project! This next-generation modular blockchain ecosystem enables fast, customizable, and interoperable Layer 2 solutions on Ethereum, driving the vision of an "internet of rollups."
💡 What is Caldera?
Caldera offers a modular blockchain infrastructure that allows developers to launch application-specific Layer 2 rollups tailored to their needs. Rollups can be customized with gas tokens, data availability layers, and various VM types.
Its vision: to connect these rollups through the Metalayer protocol, enabling shared liquidity and seamless cross-chain communication across the ecosystem.
Built for DeFi, gaming, and enterprise-grade use cases, Caldera delivers the scalability and speed Ethereum users need.
🧠 Key Features:
✅ Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS): Launch chains easily using Arbitrum, Optimism, or zkSync stacks.
✅ Metalayer Protocol: Combines Ethereum bridging, sub-second messaging, and an SDK for cross-chain interoperability.
✅ Multi-VM Compatibility: Supports both EVM and SolanaVM, enabling cross-ecosystem dApp deployment.
✅ Ecosystem Scale: As of July 2025, Caldera supports 50+ live rollups, 400M+ transactions, and $400M–$600M TVL.
🤝 Strong Backing
Caldera is backed by leading VCs including Founders Fund, Sequoia, and Dragonfly Capital, signaling robust institutional confidence in its mission.
Caldera also aligns with regulatory frameworks. For example, Upbit applied South Korea’s Travel Rule on ERA deposits, showcasing Caldera’s readiness to operate in compliance-first markets.
🎯 Why Caldera Matters
Caldera empowers developers to launch custom Layer 2 chains that are modular, scalable, and interoperable, without sacrificing speed or security. By prioritizing interoperability, Caldera positions itself as a strong contender alongside Polygon, Optimism, and zkSync in the Layer 2 landscape.
