Combat Zero-Day Attacks! The Hardcore Strength of Caldera's Cryptographic Audit

Zero-day attacks, due to their unknown nature and sudden occurrence, have become the 'invisible killer' of the Web3 ecosystem. Caldera successfully defends against such threats with its hardcore cryptographic audit capabilities and comprehensive security system, safeguarding a total locked value (TVL) of $1 billion. The core of its security protection employs BLS signature technology to construct a validator consensus mechanism, ensuring that trust and collaboration among distributed nodes are efficient and secure; meanwhile, ECDSA is used as the transaction encryption standard, giving each transaction an immutable encryption attribute, thus eliminating transaction fraud risk from the technical foundation.

To further enhance security protection, Caldera is actively promoting multiple technology upgrades. Among them, ZK-SNARKs technology is in the development stage and will provide stronger protection for user privacy through zero-knowledge proofs in the future, achieving the security effect of 'data usable but invisible'; more forward-looking is Caldera's plan to complete cryptographic upgrades by 2026, introducing post-quantum resistance technology to lay the groundwork for security protection in the quantum computing era, ensuring long-term competitiveness in ecosystem security. $ERA

Security auditing is a key step for Caldera to validate its security and an important cornerstone for gaining market trust. In June 2025, the globally renowned security company Trail of Bits conducted a comprehensive and rigorous audit of Caldera's smart contracts, ultimately finding no critical security issues. This result fully demonstrates the reliability and security of Caldera at the code level. Moreover, Caldera has extended the audit scope to Metalayer relays, ensuring data integrity through strict verification and ensuring that data is not tampered with during transmission, further improving the security chain of the ecosystem. @Caldera Official

In terms of threat response, Caldera has built a precise threat model based on deep insights into industry risks and has launched multiple efficient protection measures accordingly. To address the potential risk of centralized sorters, a progressive decentralization plan is adopted to gradually disperse control over core nodes, thereby reducing the probability of single points of failure from a mechanical perspective; in response to the common threat of DDoS attacks, a dual strategy is implemented that integrates Cloudflare protection services and limits RPC call frequency, effectively resisting traffic impacts and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the network, preventing service interruptions caused by attacks. #caldera
