Caldera (ERA): Powering the Future of App-Specific Rollups
Caldera is a modular blockchain infrastructure platform that helps developers easily launch high-performance, app-specific rollups tailored to unique use cases. Think of it like Vercel or Heroku for rollups — making blockchain deployment fast, simple, and customizable.
+ Why App-Specific Rollups Matter
Instead of sharing space and resources on general-purpose chains like Ethereum, apps on Caldera get:
Dedicated block space
Custom gas & performance settings
Optional privacy & compliance layers
This model is ideal for games, DeFi, SocialFi, and enterprise apps that need speed, control, and scalability.
+ ERA Token Utility
ERA is Caldera’s native token, expected to be used for:
Node staking across Caldera rollups
Interoperability & gas abstraction
Governance over upgrades and templates
Incentivizing new chain launches
+ Modular Design Advantage
Caldera embraces modular blockchain design, letting developers choose:
Data availability layers (Celestia, EigenDA, etc.)
Execution environments (EVM, WASM, Move)
Settlement and bridge configurations
+ Strong Ecosystem Momentum
Already powering rollups for games, DeFi, DAOs, and NFT projects — with fast block times, low fees, and custom logic. Backed by top VCs like Sequoia, Dragonfly, and 1kx.
+ What’s Ahead
Self-serve rollup builder
Integration with AI & decentralized identity (DID)
Expansion into enterprise and compliance-focused rollups
Advanced developer tools & analytics
+ Conclusion
As Web3 shifts toward a rollup-centric and modular future, Caldera is making appchains mainstream — bringing flexibility, performance, and ease of deployment to the next generation of decentralized applications.
App-specific chains aren't a niche — they're the future.
And Caldera is building the foundation.
