Caldera – Helping Developers Launch Real Rollups, Fast
Launching a rollup shouldn’t take months of infrastructure work—it should be as easy as building your app. Caldera makes that possible with its Rollup Engine, supporting multiple frameworks like OP Stack, zkSync, Arbitrum, and Polygon CDK. Developers can choose the stack that fits their performance or feature needs, while Caldera auto-deploys the essentials: nodes, explorers, wallets, and bridges, all ready to go.
Where Caldera really stands out is customization. Want gas fees paid in stablecoins instead of ETH? Need faster block times for gaming microtransactions? Or maybe a whitelisted, compliance-ready chain for institutional use? With Caldera, developers can fine-tune governance, economics, performance, and user access—all without building the core infrastructure from scratch.
But scalability isn’t just about launching a rollup—it’s about making them work together. Normally, each rollup operates in isolation, fragmenting liquidity and complicating transfers. Caldera solves this with its Metalayer, which connects rollups through intent-based messaging and a shared SDK. Assets and liquidity can flow instantly across chains, without users needing to manually bridge.
And it’s not just a vision—it’s working at scale. According to Messari, Caldera already powers 31 public rollups, 21 testnets, nearly a billion transactions, and $377M in TVL. That’s real adoption from real users.
At its core, Caldera embraces the modular blockchain stack—execution, consensus, and data availability layers that can be mixed and matched. Want Celestia for DA, Ethereum for settlement, and OP Stack for execution? Caldera makes it possible.
The impact is clear: Game studios can deliver instant gameplay, DeFi protocols can launch governance-optimized chains, and institutions can build secure, compliant environments.
In short: Caldera takes rollups from idea to launch in minutes, not quarters—unlocking speed, flexibility, and interoperability for the next wave of Web3.
