$ERA ERA confronts the giant: @Caldera Official competing with Arbitrum and Optimism
In the Layer 2 ecosystem of Ethereum, the game is currently led by two “giants” Arbitrum and Optimism with a strong market share and developer community. However, Caldera is emerging as a differentiating factor, choosing a non-confrontational competitive strategy that focuses on a potential “niche”: Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS).
Strengths of Arbitrum and Optimism
Arbitrum currently holds an advantage thanks to optimized Optimistic Rollup technology, large TVL, and many leading DeFi applications. Optimism is pursuing the construction of a Superchain, expanding through the OP Stack-compatible rollup network, with strong backing from Coinbase (Base). Both have the “first mover” advantage, a large community, and a vast partner network.
The strategy of @Caldera Official $ERA
Instead of racing for TVL or the number of direct users, Caldera provides infrastructure that allows any project to deploy a custom rollup in just a few minutes. This is a “B2B” model in blockchain: games, DeFi applications, or Web3 projects can own their own chain, optimizing transaction costs, throughput, and user experience.
Competitive advantage
Caldera differentiates itself through the ability to personalize chains – something that Arbitrum and Optimism struggle to do when focusing on a single main chain. With the growing demand for specialized chains (e.g., games requiring high TPS, near-zero fees), Caldera holds the opportunity for “indirect competition”: not targeting the mass market, but becoming a tool for building infrastructure for those who want to “create their own Arbitrum/Optimism.”
