Caldera is transforming how developers build Layer-2 (L2) and Layer-3 (L3) blockchains by offering a smooth Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform. With just a few clicks, teams can launch fully customized rollups, free from the burden of managing bridging infrastructure, node setups, or security frameworks .
Modular by Design
At the core of Caldera is a modular architecture that allows developers to tailor their stack using:
Execution Layer: Choose frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro, OP Stack, zkSync ZK Stack, or even SolanaVM equivalents.
Data Availability: Options include Ethereum, Celestia, NEAR, or EigenDA.
Cross-Chain Bridges: Native support simplifies interoperability .
Efficiency & Performance
Caldera-enabled rollups boast impressive throughput (20,000+ TPS) with minimal fees—sometimes as low as $0.001 per transaction . Its infrastructure is designed for scalability: developers can upgrade protocols, tweak gas parameters, and pivot DA options without any downtime .
Tokenomics: Powering the Ecosystem with $ERA
Caldera’s native token, $ERA, serves multiple critical functions:
Pays for cross-chain transactions as omnichain gas.
Enables staking with reward incentives (8–15% APR).
Grants governance rights over protocol decisions and upgrades .
Token distribution includes allocations to early users, ecosystem incentives, and long-term team vesting, ensuring alignment across stakeholders .
