Caldera Metalayer: Reshaping the Future of Rollup Interoperability
Caldera officially launches Metalayer, marking the arrival of the “Rollup Internet” era. This innovative architecture aims to address the challenges of interoperability, scalability, and developer experience within the Ethereum Rollup ecosystem.
As a core component of Caldera, Metalayer provides a unified cross-chain framework, connecting mainstream Rollup stacks such as Arbitrum, Optimism, ZKsync, and Polygon.
Through its Intents Engine and Hyperlane-based messaging protocol, Metalayer enables second-level cross-chain asset transfer and execution, significantly reducing the complexity and costs associated with traditional bridging. This design not only enhances the efficiency of Rollups but also offers developers a seamless building environment, accelerating the deployment of decentralized applications (dApps).
The core advantages of Metalayer lie in its modularity and security. Supporting over 60 top teams (such as ApeCoin and Manta Network) with Rollup deployments, Caldera's chain has locked over $800 million in total value locked (TVL) and processed 60 million transactions. Its collaborations with protocols like Eco, Across, and Relay ensure the reliability and security of cross-chain communication.
Metalayer also supports an unlimited number of chains through horizontal scaling, addressing the “noisy neighbor” problem, which is the bottleneck of resource competition among single Rollups, providing customized solutions for application-specific chains (such as gaming or DeFi).
Caldera's Rollup-as-a-Service platform has supported over 50 chains, attracting 1.7 million unique wallets. The $ERA token, as the core of the ecosystem, is expected to incentivize user participation through governance and staking.
Caldera's vision is to achieve true web-scale expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem through Metalayer, redefining the standards of blockchain interoperability. This groundbreaking development provides Web3 developers with unprecedented flexibility and efficiency. Through Metalayer, Caldera is driving the integration and evolution of the Rollup ecosystem, laying the foundation for future decentralized infrastructure. @Caldera Official #caldera $ERA
