In the past two years, we have been jumping back and forth across different L2s: today to Optimism, tomorrow to Arbitrum, and the day after being pulled by zkSync's new tasks. Our wallets are filled with various networks, assets are transferred back and forth, leading to dual consumption of fees and energy. For users, this is mentally exhausting; for project teams, it is an unbearable threshold.

@Caldera Official The emergence of Caldera offers a new path. It is not a competitor of single chains but standardizes and services the concept of 'opening chains': Rollup-as-a-Service. To use the simplest analogy, it is like a 'franchise'; project teams no longer need to build highways or power plants, they can just click a few times to have their own dedicated L2, allowing them to focus their energy on product and user experience.

What I find truly interesting is that Caldera is not just a tool; it has the potential to become the operating system for the 'application chain network.' Imagine this: in the future, games, social media, and DeFi each have their dedicated chains, yet they can communicate at the underlying level. The NFTs earned by players in one game can be used for DeFi collaterals in the next moment; likes and comments on social media can all be seamlessly and cost-effectively recorded on-chain. Users will not perceive the complex chain environment, but will feel as natural as Web2.

Of course, challenges exist: will RaaS give rise to a bunch of 'air chains'? Is this model the ultimate outcome for L2, or just a transition? These questions are worth discussing. But in any case, Caldera at least shows us a possibility—a blockchain that is no longer just a quagmire of infrastructure but a true starting point for large-scale applications.
