Caldera is powering the next internet. Its architecture consists of two core components: the Rollup Engine and the Metalayer. The Rollup Engine is a modular operating system used to launch high-performance, custom chains on leading chains and frameworks like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and ZKsync. The Metalayer then automatically connects every chain into one network. Through this interoperability protocol, all chains access shared liquidity and secure, intent-based bridging that transforms fragmented networks into a unified Internet of Chains. And now with the launch of the Caldera Bridge Preview this expands the product suite and market size that Caldera is tackling.
The Rollup Engine acts as a modular operating system, enabling developers to launch high-performance, custom chains on top of leading frameworks like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and ZKsync, allowing for scalable and tailored blockchain deployments. Complementing this, the Metalayer automatically connects all chains into a unified network, providing shared liquidity and intent-based bridging that transforms fragmented blockchains into a cohesive Internet of Chains. Together, these components empower seamless interoperability, enhanced security, and a new era of cross-chain innovation.
