$ERA (Caldera) Series Part Nine: Rollup Internet Puzzle
On the road to Ethereum scaling, Rollup has become the mainstream solution. However, when we look back at the current Layer2 ecosystem, we find a new problem: Rollups are isolated from each other, making it difficult to leverage ecological effects, and users and developers are often trapped in isolated networks. The emergence of Caldera (ERA) aims to break this dilemma.
Caldera is not just about building a single Rollup; it aims to create a modular, interconnected, and customizable Rollup Internet. It allows project teams to launch their own dedicated chains with a very low threshold, while linking different Rollups together through an interoperability layer, forming a truly multi-chain ecological network.
For developers, Caldera offers flexible modular components, allowing for free choice of security, data availability, and settlement layers; for users, assets and applications between different Rollups will no longer be heavily walled off but can flow freely, as conveniently as using the internet.
The value of this model lies in: Rollups are no longer islands, but pieces of a puzzle. Caldera (ERA) stitches together scattered scaling solutions into a whole, enabling the Ethereum ecosystem to truly possess internet-level network effects.
In today’s environment of growing scaling and application demands, Caldera is not just a Rollup building tool, but a bridge connecting Rollups and driving ecological interconnection. Its vision is to transform the Rollup Internet into the underlying infrastructure of the future blockchain world.
