Caldera's operation is amazing! Using the ERA universal key, it directly connects the Rollup ecosystem together!
Manta Pacific is working on privacy computing, Henez Finance is innovating in DeFi, but transferring assets between them can be incredibly frustrating, and information synchronization is even slower. Caldera's RaaS platform + Metalayer framework is like giving developers a super toolkit for building islands and repairing bridges.
With the RaaS platform, developers don't have to start from scratch to set up the underlying blockchain; they can deploy their own Rollup network as easily as building with blocks. Major projects like Manta Pacific and Henez Finance are already using it, with a total ecosystem locked value exceeding $550 million, covering over 1.8 million wallets and 800 million transactions. What's even more considerate is the Blockscout browser acting as an on-chain microscope, and NodeOps allows for one-click node deployment. Whether it's the Optimism or zkSync tech stack, it can be seamlessly integrated, cutting the development barrier in half.
But the real highlight is the Metalayer framework, which uses the Hyperlane cross-chain protocol and API3's oracle network to clearly facilitate message communication and data sharing. For example, after Manta Pacific completes a privacy transaction, Metalayer quickly synchronizes the results to other Rollups; if a DeFi protocol needs real-time price data, the OEV Network directly provides low-latency data, and after integrating the Kalshi prediction market, transactions flow as smoothly as if they had a cheat code!
The ERA token driving this system is even more of an ecological engine; not only is it the key to governance voting, but it also incentivizes participation. Holders can vote to decide on protocol upgrades, stake ERA to earn rewards as validators, or pay fees to invoke cross-chain functions.
What's even more exciting is the future plan for Caldera to use AI to optimize cross-chain bridging, such as using machine learning to predict trading peak periods, automatically allocating network resources, and smart contracts that can automatically match asset exchange demands, drastically reducing cross-chain costs. The ultimate goal is to support 10,000 Rollups, at which point various fields such as gaming, social networking, and finance will have their dedicated Rollups, seamlessly interconnected through Caldera, transforming Web3 into a digital universe of everything interconnected!
