Will Caldera’s “Rollup-as-a-Service” model make launching L2s as easy as spinning up a website?

My Research : shows Caldera has positioned itself as a turnkey provider for app-specific rollups, handling deployment, hosting, maintenance, and scaling. They’ve already integrated with EigenDA v2 for industrial-grade data availability—boasting throughput up to 100 MB/s—which is essential for high-demand use cases like gaming, AI inference, or large-scale simulations. Instead of founders wrestling with sequencer ops, DA layers, and cross-chain messaging, Caldera packages it all into a managed service.

My analysis: This approach removes one of the biggest barriers to L2 adoption: operational complexity. Builders can focus purely on application logic while Caldera handles the “infrastructure plumbing.” That’s huge if the market shifts toward app-chains over generalized L2s. But there’s a subtle risk: the more you centralize infra under a few providers, the more you replicate Web2’s concentration problem. If Caldera goes down or changes terms, dependent chains could suffer.

My view: If Caldera maintains uptime, offers multi-provider redundancy, and keeps pricing transparent, it could become the “Shopify of rollups.” But it has to prove resilience before becoming a default choice for mission-critical chains.

Bottom line: Ease of launch is only the first win—long-term reliability will decide Caldera’s place in the L2 market. #Caldera #cladera @Caldera Official $ERA
