Caldera (ERA) – Infrastructure for Specific Application Rollups.

Caldera is building a foundational layer for the future of Web3 scalability through its rollup-as-a-service platform. As Ethereum and other multi-purpose blockchains become increasingly congested due to the exponential growth of DeFi, NFTs, and GameFi, developers face an urgent challenge: how to build high-performance, scalable, and cost-effective dApps without sacrificing decentralization or interoperability.

Introducing Caldera — a protocol that allows projects to launch their own custom Layer 2 (L2) chains, also known as application-specific rollups, tailored to their specific needs. By utilizing the OP Stack (the modular architecture of Optimism), Caldera enables developers to initiate rollups that inherit the security of Ethereum while maintaining full control over the block space, fee model, consensus mechanism, and governance.

This is especially important for high-traffic applications such as on-chain gaming, real-time trading platforms, and social dApps. These applications require low latency and predictable performance — both of which are challenging to achieve on shared L2s like Arbitrum, Optimism, or zkSync, where resources are limited and competition is fierce.

Caldera's architecture introduces several technological advancements. First, seamless integration with EigenDA allows projects to optimize data availability at lower costs. #caderaxyz @Calderaxyz $ERA
