⚙️ The Metalayer: Caldera’s Secret Weapon for Cross-Rollup Liquidity
As more rollups launch, fragmentation becomes the enemy. Caldera’s answer? The Metalayer—a middleware layer designed to unify rollups with fast, low-latency messaging and intent-based bridging.
Instead of each rollup acting as an isolated island, the Metalayer routes assets and data across chains like a high-speed transit hub. Built in collaboration with bridging giants like Across, Hyperlane, Eco, and Relay, the Metalayer connects Caldera-based chains built with OP Stack, Arbitrum, Polygon CDK, zkSync and more.
And thanks to the omnichain nature of ERA, users don’t need to switch tokens when hopping between rollups. Gas is streamlined. UX is seamless.
In Q3 2025, the Metalayer will go fully live with fast-finality swaps and validator staking, enabling a true “Internet-of-Rollups” where developers build once and users move frictionlessly.
This isn’t just composability—it’s composability at scale, backed by a unified token and protocol layer.
