$ERA Caldera vs zkSync & StarkNet: Can Modular Rollup Surpass ZK L2?
⚔️ @Calderaxyz vs zkSync & StarkNet: Can Modular Rollup Surpass ZK L2?
While zkSync and StarkNet are still being hailed as the “future of Layer 2” thanks to Zero-Knowledge Proof technology, Caldera (ERA) is quietly opening up a new direction: Modular Rollup. And this might be the reason why investors are questioning: Can ZK L2 maintain its position?
🔥 Performance: Modular Rollup Dominates
zkSync/StarkNet: Processing speed is limited by the generation and verification of ZK proofs, leading to slower finality and poorer UX.
Caldera: Transactions are processed almost instantly thanks to the modular mechanism. DApps can deploy their own chains, eliminating the common network congestion seen on zkSync.
⚙️ Flexibility: Modular vs “one-size-fits-all”
ZK L2: All projects must adhere to a common set of chain rules, from gas fees to security.
Caldera: Allows complete customization – from fees, DA (Data Availability) to security. Developers are no longer restricted and can “build as they wish.”
🌐 Ecosystem: Whoever attracts devs first will win
zkSync and StarkNet are still in the process of expanding dev tools, while Caldera has made chain deployment “no-code” in just a few minutes. It’s no surprise that DeFi and GameFi projects are quietly choosing Caldera as the “underlying infrastructure” to prepare for the bull run.
🚀 Conclusion: Modular is the future
ZK L2 certainly still has a place, but Modular Rollup is opening up a new standard – faster, more flexible, and easier to scale. If zkSync and StarkNet are “Ethereum of 2020,” then Caldera could very well be “Ethereum 2017” – an opportunity for those who dare to lead!
