Caldera: Scaling Ethereum the Right Way
Ethereum has evolved far beyond a smart contract platform — it’s become the core of the Web3 ecosystem. But with growth comes congestion, rising fees, and scalability challenges.
That’s where Caldera steps in.
Not as a replacement — but as Ethereum’s perfect scaling ally.

🔍 What Is Caldera?
Caldera is a rollup-as-a-service platform that empowers developers to launch high-performance, customizable blockchains — all while inheriting Ethereum’s trust and security.
Think of it this way:
→ Your own rollup
→ Your rules
→ Backed by Ethereum

⚙️ 1. Horizontal Scaling Made Simple
Rather than stretching one chain to its limits, Caldera enables multiple rollups to run side-by-side — like spinning up new servers for a growing website.
Tailored rollups for DeFi, gaming, DAOs, and more
Dedicated environments that boost performance
Decentralization preserved at scale

🧠 2. The Metalayer: Caldera’s Core Innovation
Caldera’s Metalayer acts as the connective tissue between all its rollups — Optimistic and ZK alike.
What it enables:
✅ Inter-rollup communication
✅ Shared liquidity and interoperability
✅ Smooth asset transfers across chains
Instead of isolated chains, you get a modular, integrated ecosystem.

💰 3. Meet — Caldera’s Native Token
At the heart of the Caldera network is $ERA, powering everything under the hood:
Fees: is used to pay for operations across rollups
Staking: Validators secure the Metalayer and earn rewards by staking ERA
Governance: ERA holders help shape upgrades, treasury use, and protocol decisions
Holding means having a say in Ethereum’s modular future.

🔐 4. Flexibility Without Compromising Security
Caldera offers best-in-class security — from fraud proofs to ZK proofs — while letting developers build freely:
Trustless verification of rollup activity
Ethereum-grade security baked in
Flexibility for teams, confidence for users
