Even Ethereum developers are amazed
$ERA this operation is simply incredible
The story goes like this
Matt Katz, the founder of Caldera, compared an ancient computer capable of millions of instructions per second with today's congested Ethereum mainnet, marking the quiet emergence of a scaling revolution centered around modular Rollups. Recognized by core Ethereum developers as the 'Rollup Internet', Caldera is addressing the century-old problems of high fees and low efficiency through a customizable and interconnected blockchain ecosystem.
Caldera's core innovation lies in breaking down complex on-chain execution into a three-layer modular architecture:
Developers can deploy dedicated Rollup chains in just 5 minutes, freely customize fee structures and programming languages (supporting both Solidity and non-Ethereum languages), inheriting Ethereum's security.
Interoperability engine Metalayer: connecting mainstream frameworks like Optimism, Arbitrum, ZKsync, eliminating liquidity islands, making cross-Rollup interactions as smooth as single-chain;
- Integrating DA layers like Celestia and Near, compressing transaction costs to 1/30 of the mainnet, increasing throughput by 40 times.
Ecosystem explosion: a symbiotic network of 50+ chains and 1.7 million wallets
Caldera has catalyzed exponential growth in the Ethereum Layer2/3 ecosystem:
800 million USD TVL: supporting over 50 application chains such as Manta Pacific and ApeChain, processing over 59 million zero-error transactions;
Democratization of developers: zero-code deployment tools attract traditional tech giant developers, with the proportion of Web2 background users surging by 35%;
Token economy self-circulation: $ERA token drives governance voting, transaction fee discounts, and staking rewards, with a $15 million Series A funding led by Founders Fund accelerating the implementation of the deflationary model.
CEO Matt Katz asserts: 'Modularity is the core weapon for Ethereum to engulf the world.' With the EIP-4844 upgrade reducing DA costs, Caldera's Metalayer will become the scheduling hub for trillion-level Web3 traffic, achieving the ultimate form of 'Chain as a Service'—any application can have its own dedicated blockchain without sacrificing interoperability.
'Rollup is not a patch for Ethereum, but its ultimate form.' Caldera is weaving fragmented L2 islands into a global computing network of freely flowing value, and this developer-led foundational reconstruction has just ignited the fuse.
