Now the blockchain community is talking about 'modularization', but what exactly is modularization? Caldera has long provided the answer through action and is leading the way.
In simple terms, modularization means 'breaking complex things into parts and assembling them as needed.' For example, in building a blockchain, previously you had to create the engine, steering wheel, and body (underlying code, security layer, data storage) yourself. Now Caldera has standardized these components; you select the engine (execution environment) and steering wheel (data layer), and it will assemble a car (blockchain) for you.
The benefits of this model are numerous:
• Fast: With ready-made parts, assembly naturally becomes quick; while others take half a year to build a blockchain, you can finish it in weeks with modularization.
• Flexible: Want to change the engine? Just switch it out without scrapping the whole car; for example, switching from the Optimism framework to zkSync, where data and users can be retained.
• Cost-effective: No need to reinvent the wheel; costs are cut by 70%, and small teams can afford it.
• Universal: Standardized parts allow different cars (chains) to easily connect, which leads to interoperability at the metal layer.
Now, more and more projects in the industry are adopting this model, but Caldera has been running for several years, with over 50 chains and 750 million transactions, proving that this path is correct. The future blockchain world is likely to be dominated by this 'modular assembly' approach.
