From Audit to Post-Quantum: Caldera Builds a Comprehensive Security Barrier for Web3

In the increasingly complex landscape of Web3 security, Caldera has created a comprehensive security barrier based on the philosophy of 'full-cycle protection and multidimensional coverage,' successfully safeguarding a total locked value (TVL) of $1 billion, becoming a benchmark for industry security practices. The core of its security system begins with the in-depth application of cryptographic technology: using BLS signatures to ensure the security and efficiency of validator consensus, establishing a trust foundation for distributed networks; at the same time, ECDSA is used to complete transaction encryption verification, ensuring that every operation has traceable and tamper-proof characteristics, thereby avoiding security risks at the transaction level from the source.

To address future security challenges, Caldera has initiated a forward-looking layout—planning to achieve cryptographic upgrades by 2026, introducing post-quantum resistant technology to preemptively guard against potential cryptographic cracking threats posed by quantum computing, injecting long-term security into the ecosystem. Additionally, in response to user privacy protection needs, ZK-SNARKs technology is actively being developed, and in the future, transaction verification will be completed through zero-knowledge proof technology without disclosing data details, further enhancing the ecological privacy security level. $ERA

Security auditing is an important aspect for Caldera to validate its security. In June 2025, the world’s top security company Trail of Bits conducted a comprehensive review of its smart contracts, and the results showed no critical security issues were found, fully proving the reliability of Caldera's code. Moreover, the audit scope was extended to the Metalayer relayer, ensuring data security during cross-module transmission by rigorously verifying message integrity, eliminating the risk of tampering in the intermediate process. @Caldera Official

In terms of threat response, Caldera has introduced multiple protective measures based on precise threat models. In response to the risk of centralized ordering, a progressive decentralization solution is adopted to gradually disperse core node permissions, reducing the probability of single points of failure; in the face of DDoS attacks, by integrating Cloudflare protection services and limiting RPC call frequency, it provides dual resistance to traffic shocks, ensuring stable network operation. #caldera
