🚀 What Is #Caldera?
Caldera is a next-gen rollup infrastructure platform designed to supercharge Ethereum scalability. Instead of optimizing a single chain, Caldera enables horizontal scaling by allowing projects to launch custom rollups—each with its own logic, throughput, and tokenomics—while staying anchored to Ethereum’s security.
🔧 Core Innovations
- Metalayer Protocol: A unifying layer that connects Optimistic and ZK rollups for seamless cross-rollup communication.
- Plug-and-Play Rollup Engine: Launch a rollup without needing a full dev team.
- Guardian Nodes: Boost decentralization and security across rollups.
- Native Yield Mechanism: Incentivizes ecosystem participation and sustainability.
