Caldera Security Uncovered: How Cryptography and Auditing Safeguard $1 Billion in Assets?

In the Web3 ecosystem, the security of a total locked value (TVL) of $1 billion requires a security system that balances technical depth and practical capabilities. Caldera, through innovative applications of cryptographic technology and comprehensive auditing verification, has built a solid security defense, becoming a reliable guardian of $1 billion in assets. The technical core of its security system focuses on the precise implementation of cryptography: using BLS signature technology to ensure the security of validator consensus, preventing malicious interference during the collaboration of distributed nodes; at the same time, ECDSA is used to complete transaction encryption verification, ensuring that each transaction has traceable and immutable characteristics, safeguarding asset security from the source.

To address the evolving security threats, Caldera is advancing two key technological upgrades. First, it is actively developing ZK-SNARKs technology, which will provide stronger protection for user privacy through zero-knowledge proofs in the future, ensuring transaction security while avoiding the risk of data leakage; second, it plans to achieve cryptographic upgrades by 2026, introducing post-quantum resistance technology to preemptively guard against potential cryptographic breaches posed by quantum computing, injecting long-term competitiveness into ecosystem security. $ERA

Security auditing is a crucial part of Caldera's verification of its own security and is key to gaining market trust. In June 2025, the world-renowned security firm Trail of Bits conducted a comprehensive review of Caldera's smart contracts, and the results showed no critical security issues were found, fully demonstrating the reliability of its code layer. Moreover, Caldera has extended the scope of its audits to the Metalayer relayer, ensuring data security during cross-module transmission by rigorously verifying message integrity, eliminating the risk of tampering in intermediate links, and ensuring that security protection covers every key node in the ecosystem. @Caldera Official

In terms of threat response, Caldera has launched effective protective measures based on in-depth insights into industry risks. To address the potential hazard of sequencer centralization, it has adopted a progressive decentralization plan, gradually dispersing core node permissions to reduce the probability of single points of failure; in the face of DDoS attacks, it integrates Cloudflare protection services and restricts RPC call frequency to double defend against traffic shocks, ensuring continuous and stable network operation and avoiding asset losses due to attacks. #caldera
