#caldera @Caldera Official Caldera is a Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform that enables developers to quickly launch custom Layer-2 (L2) chains tailored to their applications with just a few clicks. Even better, these rollups are automatically interconnected through Caldera’s Metalayer, which supports interoperability, shared liquidity, and seamless cross-rollup messaging.  
The platform supports major rollup frameworks such as Arbitrum Nitro, Optimism OP Stack, zkSync, and Polygon CDK, while letting developers choose diverse data-availability options like Ethereum, Celestia, or Avail—and fine-tune execution environments for performance, cost, and security.   Feature
