We live in a space where projects often promise more than they deliver, Caldera stands out not just for its technology, but for its relentless momentum. While others are still announcing roadmaps, Caldera is already shipping the future.

The latest milestone? A powerful new integration:
EigenDA V2 is now live on the Caldera Rollup Engine, unlocking next-level performance, scalability, and customizability for every chain built with Caldera.

What’s New: EigenDA V2 Now Live on Caldera

Caldera has officially partnered with EigenCloud (@EigenLayer) to bring EigenDA V2 into the Rollup Engine Caldera’s flagship tool for launching custom blockchains.

This integration delivers up to 100 MB/s of data throughput, a massive leap for rollup builders. Whether you’re developing a DeFi protocol, a high-speed trading app, or a data-heavy social platform, this means one thing:

👉 Your rollup now has the bandwidth to scale without compromise.

And the best part? It’s ready right now, available as a one-click configuration for any new chain launched through Caldera. Existing Caldera chains can also upgrade in a few easy steps.

Why Data Availability Matters (And What EigenDA Solves)

To understand the impact, let’s talk about Data Availability (DA) a crucial but often overlooked part of rollup infrastructure.

When a rollup processes transactions, it needs to post data somewhere accessible so that the chain’s state can be verified by others. Traditionally, this happens directly on Ethereum L1, which ensures security but comes with a steep price: high gas fees and limited space.

Enter EigenDA a purpose-built DA layer inspired by Danksharding, offering a cheaper, faster, and more scalable alternative.

Here’s how it changes the game:

✅ Offloads heavy data from Ethereum to reduce congestion and cost

✅ Preserves security by leveraging Ethereum’s validator set through restaked ETH

✅ Enables bigger, more complex rollups with fast and cheap data posting

With EigenDA V2, your rollup isn’t just cheaper to run it’s built to handle real-world, high-volume applications.

How It Works: Security Without Compromise

One concern with off-chain data is: “Is it safe?”
With EigenDA, the answer is a confident yes.

Instead of creating its own consensus mechanism, EigenDA borrows security directly from Ethereum. It uses a restaking model, where validators stake ETH (or restake via EigenLayer) to secure the DA layer. This gives it the same economic security guarantees as Ethereum itself.

So while you enjoy cheaper operations and faster speeds, you’re still backed by the trust and decentralization of Ethereum.

Built for Builders: New Capabilities Unlocked

EigenDA V2 brings much more than raw throughput. It introduces builder-first features that empower developers to build better apps, more reliably:

1. Data Reservations

EigenDA is the only DA layer that lets rollups reserve bandwidth in advance.

That means your rollup is guaranteed the space it needs even during busy network periods. No more congestion battles or unpredictable performance. Just consistent, guaranteed delivery at a fixed cost.

2. Bring Your Own Token

Don’t want to rely solely on ETH to secure your rollup’s DA?

EigenDA allows builders to stake their own rollup’s native token as part of the DA security model. This means:

  • Your community helps secure the network

  • You incentivize participation via rewards

  • You maintain control and align the DA layer with your ecosystem

Real-World Proof: It’s Already Been Battle-Tested

EigenDA isn’t theoretical. The Eigen team has already shown its strength posting the live chain state of every major L1 and L2 on EigenDA with ease.

That was over a year ago. Since then, they’ve 6x’d the throughput, making the DA layer even more robust and ready for the growing demands of real-world applications.

Caldera is bringing that power directly into the hands of builders today.

Seamless Integration with Caldera Rollup Engine

This isn't just a fancy upgrade buried in developer docs. Caldera has made it ridiculously simple to start using EigenDA V2.

  • New Rollups: Select EigenDA V2 directly from the Caldera dashboard during setup. One click. Done.

  • Existing Chains: Easily switch over with step-by-step migration support.

No manual integrations. No technical deep dives. Just raw power, ready to go.


Caldera’s Vision: The Internet of Chains

This integration is one piece of Caldera’s broader mission: to build the Internet of Chains a seamlessly connected blockchain world where developers can launch powerful, custom chains without worrying about infrastructure limitations.

With tools like:

  • The Caldera Rollup Engine (to launch and manage rollups)

  • The Metalayer (to connect chains and enable cross-chain actions)

  • And now, EigenDA V2 (to handle massive data throughput)

Caldera is building the most developer-friendly, high-performance stack in Web3.

Closing Thoughts: While Others Plan, Caldera Ships

Web3 moves fast but Caldera moves faster. This isn’t just another tech update. It’s a clear signal that Caldera is all-in on performance, security, and developer empowerment.

With EigenDA V2 now live, Caldera rollups are ready to scale to new heights no bottlenecks, no compromises.

So if you’re a builder dreaming big, or a user tired of slow apps and high fees, remember:

Caldera doesn’t sleep. They just keep shipping.

And the future? It’s already live.
