Launching a blockchain could be as simple as installing an app — that’s the vision of Caldera (@Caldera Official $ERA ), often called the “Internet of Rollups.” More than just another chain, Caldera is a modular network of customizable, connected rollups designed to make building fast, scalable blockchains easy and accessible.
What is Caldera?
Imagine each blockchain as its own city — building one from scratch is expensive and time-consuming. Caldera offers Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS), giving developers ready-made components so they can deploy rollups without managing every technical layer. You pick the stack that suits your project — Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, Polygon CDK, or zkSync’s ZK Stack — whether you’re creating games, social platforms, or DeFi apps.
Core components:
1. Rollup Engine – Handles deployment, upgrades, uptime, and security.
2. Metalayer – Connects rollups for smooth value and data exchange, enabling true cross-chain experiences.
Why Caldera stands out:
Modular rollups – Select the VM and setup that fit your needs.
Built-in cross-rollup communication – No need for patchwork bridges.
High data throughput – EigenDA V2 delivers up to ~100 MB/s for data-heavy apps.
Streamlined cross-chain transfers – Caldera Bridge makes moving assets and data simple.
Already in action:
Projects like Kinto (modular exchange), SoloChain (on-chain engagement rewards), and XPLA (gaming/content via zkXPLA) are proof of Caldera’s versatility.
Why it matters:
Caldera makes high-performance blockchain creation more accessible, fostering a network of specialized, interoperable rollups. Developers can focus on innovation while Caldera manages scalability, speed, and security — paving the way for a connected, plug-and-play blockchain future.
