From NFT to RWA: How Caldera Supports On-Chain Circulation of Multiple Asset Types?
As a modular Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, Caldera is becoming the core infrastructure connecting the on-chain circulation of various asset types such as NFTs and RWAs (Real World Assets) through its flexible technical architecture and cross-chain interoperability protocols. Its support capabilities are primarily reflected in the following three aspects:
1. Modular Architecture Adapts to Diverse Asset Needs
Caldera allows developers to customize execution layers (e.g., EVM-compatible chains suitable for DeFi and NFTs, SolanaVM suitable for high-frequency trading), settlement layers (Ethereum/Polygon, etc.), and data availability layers (Celestia/EigenDA) based on asset characteristics. For instance, the NFT platform RARI Chain implements deployment through Caldera, achieving transaction costs as low as $0.01 while enforcing royalties, while the RWA project Ozean utilizes its compliance layer to design on-chain credit pools.
2. Metalayer Protocol Connects Cross-Chain Liquidity
Through the intent-based cross-chain protocol Metalayer, over 100 Rollup chains connected by Caldera (such as ApeChain, Manta Pacific) can achieve seamless asset flow. For example, game asset NFTs can be transferred between the zkXPLA chain and the DeFi protocol inEVM through light node verification, while RWA tokens (such as fragmented real estate assets) can also be traded across chains without relying on centralized bridges.
3. Ecosystem Tools Lower the Barriers for Asset On-Chain
Caldera's one-click chain creation tool and built-in RPC nodes reduce the development cycle of NFT or RWA projects from months to hours. For example, Plume Network reduces the tokenization cost of photovoltaic power station assets by 90% through Caldera's precompiled smart contract templates while integrating Chainlink oracles to ensure off-chain data anchoring.
As of July 2025, Caldera has supported over 60 chains, managing $800 million TVL, covering scenarios such as NFTs, gaming, and RWAs. With the launch of the Metalayer beta and the airdrop incentives for the $ERA token, its multi-asset circulation network is expected to further expand.
