Caldera is emerging as a leading Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, allowing developers to quickly deploy custom Layer-2 rollups on Ethereum. With support for multiple virtual machine environments (EVM, SolanaVM) along with the ability to choose data storage solutions (Celestia, NEAR) and configure gas tokens, Caldera offers exceptional flexibility for various applications from DeFi, GameFi to complex Web3 applications.

Core technology – Metalayer

The standout feature of Caldera's ecosystem is Metalayer, a cross-rollup protocol that helps:

  • Fast transactions: instant processing, reducing latency when moving assets or information between chains.

  • Unified messaging: Caldera chains can communicate seamlessly without complex bridges.

  • Shared liquidity: helps applications on different rollups leverage common liquidity, increasing capital efficiency.

This means that, while each rollup retains its own economic model and governance, they are still interconnected in a unified network, forming a powerful multi-chain ecosystem.

Highlights of Caldera

  • Quick rollup deployment: just a few steps with no-code tools, saving time and costs.

  • Diverse virtual machine environments: supporting both EVM and SolanaVM, expanding the developer audience.

  • High interoperability: thanks to the Metalayer protocol, all chains can interact easily.

  • Ecosystem scale: there are over 50 active rollups, more than 10 million on-chain wallets, and TVL ranging from 400–550 million USD.

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

ERA Token – Energy for the network

The ERA token plays a central role in the operation of Metalayer and the entire ecosystem:

  • Gas token: used for transaction fees on Metalayer chains.

  • Staking & security: helps validators maintain network security.

  • Governance: participate in voting for proposals (CIPs), decide on funding and protocol upgrades.

  • Allocation: total supply of 1 billion ERA, of which 7% is allocated for community airdrop, encouraging early participation.

Backing & Funding

Caldera has received investment from top funds such as Sequoia, Founders Fund, Dragonfly. To date, the project has raised about 25 million USD through Seed and Series A rounds, and launched the ERA token and airdrop program in July 2025.

Vision – Internet of Chains

Caldera is not just building rollups, but aims for a bigger vision: Internet of Chains – where each application can own its own blockchain, optimized for specific needs, yet still closely connected.

This helps:

  • Performance optimization for each sector (DeFi, NFT, Gaming, SocialFi…).

  • Ethereum security mining without sacrificing scalability.

  • Creating a unified ecosystem where developers and users can thrive sustainably.

👉 With the combination of Metalayer technology, ERA token, and the vision of Internet of Chains, Caldera is reshaping how Layer-2 operates, ushering in a new era for scaling Ethereum and the entire Web3 space.
