Caldera is a blockchain infrastructure company that provides Ethereum-based Rollup as a Service, aiming to offer developers convenient tools to help them easily deploy high-performance Layer 2 and Layer 3 Rollups. By adopting industry-standard Rollup technology, Caldera simplifies the blockchain development process, reduces operational costs, and allows development teams to focus more on application development.
Introduction
The scalability issues of Ethereum are particularly evident when network activity is busy. When transaction volumes increase, the network can become congested, leading to rising gas fees and slower transaction processing speeds.
To address these issues, Rollups have emerged. It is a method that can improve transaction processing speed without compromising the security of the Ethereum main chain. Rollups work by bundling multiple transactions into batches, processing them off-chain, and then submitting the verification results of the transactions to the main chain, effectively reducing network congestion and lowering transaction costs.
The concept of Rollups first appeared in 2018, followed by the development work of projects like Arbitrum and Optimism. By 2020, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and others supported a roadmap centered around Rollup, marking an important step for Ethereum in scalability.
Rollups are now widely used in the Ethereum ecosystem to solve network scalability issues. Caldera is a blockchain infrastructure company that provides “Rollup as a Service,” enabling developers to create scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 solutions using battle-tested frameworks. Caldera's services simplify the deployment process of Rollups, help developers reduce costs, and provide essential technical support.
