Caldera is regarded as the leading Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, allowing developers to deploy custom Layer-2 rollups on Ethereum in just a few simple steps. With a flexible infrastructure system, Caldera not only supports multiple virtual machine environments (EVM, SolanaVM) but also provides data options (Celestia, NEAR) and flexible gas token mechanisms, suitable for each project.

Core technology – Metalayer

The heart of Caldera is Metalayer – the protocol that links all rollups in the Caldera ecosystem.

  • Cross-rollup connectivity: Metalayer ensures that messages, data, and assets can move seamlessly between chains.

  • Liquidity sharing: Rollups in the ecosystem can share liquidity sources instead of being fragmented.

  • High speed: Transactions are processed quickly with optimal fees, opening up a smooth cross-chain experience.

Highlights of Caldera

  • Rapid rollup deployment: No complex code needed, easy integration with modular tools.

  • Multi-VM support: Compatible with both EVM and SolanaVM.

  • Multi-chain interoperability: Metalayer turns Caldera into a natural bridge between Web3 applications.

  • Ecosystem scale: Over 50 active rollups, 10 million on-chain wallets, and TVL ranging from $400–$550 million.

  • Trusted by major projects: ApeChain, RARI Chain, Injective, Manta Pacific.

ERA Token – The fuel of the ecosystem

ERA plays a central role in Metalayer's operations:

  • Gas token: Used as transaction fees across the entire ecosystem.

  • Staking & security: The staking mechanism for validators helps ensure network safety.

  • Governance: ERA holders participate in voting on CIP (Caldera Improvement Proposal), deciding on Treasury fund allocation, and upgrading the protocol.

  • Tokenomics:

    • Total supply: 1 billion ERA

    • 7% allocated for community airdrop

    • Token launch and airdrop in July 2025

Investor & Finance

Caldera has successfully raised ~$25 million USD through Seed and Series A, backed by top investment funds:

  • Sequoia Capital

  • Founders Fund

  • Dragonfly Capital

The participation of these 'big players' affirms confidence in the vision and technology that Caldera is pursuing.

Vision – Internet of Chains

Caldera is not just a rollup solution. The project aims to create an 'Internet of Chains', where application-specific blockchains can:

  • Independent scaling.

  • Interconnected and closely interactive.

  • Leveraging Ethereum's security & decentralization as a foundation.

👉 With the combination of Metalayer technology, ERA token, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem, Caldera is building a new era for blockchain infrastructure, where each application can own its own chain but still integrate into the global network.
