Overview

Caldera is a Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform that transforms the complex task of deploying app-specific blockchains into a few clicks.

By providing a flexible, modular infrastructure, it frees developers from boilerplate infrastructure—letting them focus on what truly matters: building applications.

Every rollup comes ready-connected via the Metalayer for instant interoperability, shared liquidity, and composability across the Caldera ecosystem. It feels like spinning up your own cloud — but on Ethereum.

Core Offerings

• Rollup Engine – Launch custom rollups (Optimistic or ZK) using frameworks like Arbitrum, OP Stack, zkSync, or Polygon CDK. Choose your VM, DA layer (Ethereum, Celestia, NEAR), and gas token—with zero ops required.

• The Metalayer – Every deployed rollup is instantly connectable. Move assets and messages in seconds across chains using a unified intent-based system—no bridges needed.

• One-Click Full Stack – Deploy an entire chain with nodes, explorers, indexers, bridges, and governance—automated under the hood.

Technical Edge

• Modular Four-Layer Architecture – Mix and match execution environments, DA, rollup styles, and messaging for tailored performance (20K TPS, $0.001 fees).

• Cross-Chain Messaging & Shared Security – Caldera’s built-in interoperability eliminates chain isolation while preserving flexibility.

• Dynamic Rollup Control – Update rollup components or scale resources on demand without downtime—similar to cloud infrastructure flexibility.

Innovations & Tokenomics

ERA Token (1B supply) – Powers gas, staking for Guardian Nodes, and governance across the Caldera & Metalayer ecosystem.

• Airdrop & Incentive Structure – Around 30% reserved for early users, with other allocations for team, treasury, ecosystem growth, and research.

• Massive Ecosystem & Adoption – Backed by top investors (Sequoia, Founders Fund, Dragonfly), powering 30–60+ live rollups, $500M+ TVL, millions of users, and hundreds of millions of txs.

Why It Matters

Caldera removes the friction from launching your own blockchain—making customized rollups accessible, fast, and interconnected.

Developers get scalability, composability, and security without standing up infrastructure.

With its Metalayer architecture and ERA-powered governance, Caldera isn't just a chain factory—it’s the backbone for a scalable, interoperable future of Web3.
