1. Clear technical path with strong standardized delivery capabilities.
Caldera focuses on the Rollup-as-a-Service track, with its technical framework based on industry-validated mainstream solutions (such as the Optimism Bedrock's optimistic Rollup architecture, Arbitrum Nitro's high-performance virtual machine, ZK Stack's zero-knowledge proof optimization, and Polygon CDK's modular design), avoiding reinventing the wheel. This 'standing on the shoulders of giants' strategy not only reduces technical risks but also ensures the stability and compatibility of customized chains—such as seamless interaction with the Ethereum mainnet and native support for mainstream wallets like MetaMask.
2. Outstanding scale and ecological potential.
Currently, the Caldera platform supports over 75 customized Rollup chains, with a total locked value (TVL) exceeding $1 billion, and a cumulative transaction volume of approximately 550 million transactions, covering more than 10 million independent wallets. Behind these numbers are real project implementations and user participation—from DeFi protocols to GameFi games, from NFT markets to social applications, developers across different tracks have quickly launched their high-performance chains through Caldera, forming an active ecological network.
3. Solid backing of funds and resources.
The project has cumulatively completed $24 million in financing, including a $15 million Series A round led by top venture capital firm Founders Fund, with participation from leading investment institutions such as Sequoia Capital and Dragonfly. This funding not only provides ample ammunition for Caldera's technological research and ecological expansion but also brings rich industry resources—such as collaboration with the Ethereum core developer community and forward-looking layouts for emerging technology trends like the scalable application of ZK Rollup.
4. User experience and developer friendliness coexist.
For developers, Caldera's dashboard interface lowers the operational threshold—no need to master the underlying blockchain protocols, as chain deployment and management can be accomplished through visual tools; for end users, the high throughput and low latency of customized chains mean a smoother interaction experience (for example, DeFi transactions do not require long waits for confirmation, and item transactions in GameFi take effect instantly). This design of 'worry-free for developers and comfortable for users' further promotes the prosperity of the ecosystem.
