《Metalayer Revolution: When Rollups Start to 'Communicate'》
In the arms race of Ethereum scaling, most projects are still 'building chains,' while Caldera @Caldera Official has quietly opened the next chapter—allowing chains to truly 'communicate' with each other. This is not a simple cross-chain bridge, but a paradigm shift in communication protocols. Through its innovative Metalayer architecture, Caldera has built the first meta-layer network that supports the unified interoperability of multiple frameworks, including OP Stack, Arbitrum Nitro, and ZK Stack, completely breaking the isolation dilemma of the Rollup ecosystem #caldera .
Imagine a world: NFT players on ApeChain can transfer assets to Manta Pacific for privacy trading in milliseconds, and creators on RARI Chain can seamlessly flow their earnings into DeFi protocols for compound interest—this is all being achieved by Caldera @caldera xy. Its Metalayer protocol not only unifies the communication standards of 60+ heterogeneous Rollups but also compresses cross-chain confirmation speeds to sub-second levels, outperforming traditional bridging solutions by 300%. Developers can deploy customized Rollups in just 5 minutes through AWS-like API interfaces, truly realizing the modular vision of 'pluggable execution environments, replaceable DA, and customizable Gas tokens' #caldera .
This is not just a technical victory but the launching of an ecological flywheel. By mid-2025, the Caldera ecosystem has gathered over 100 Rollups, processing more than 400 million transactions, with a TVL consistently among the industry's leaders, and over 11 million verified user addresses testifying to its network effects. The core fuel of all this is ERA. As the unified Gas token across the entire chain, cross-chain validation staking asset, and governance steering wheel, ERA is deeply embedded in the value cycle of Metalayer—each cross-Rollup transaction consumes $ERA , with 30% of the transaction fees being burned instantly, creating strong deflationary momentum.
Even more exciting is the integration of XR streaming chains like Mawari Network, making Caldera the world's first blockchain foundation supporting real-time AI immersive experiences. The $24 million backing from Sequoia and Founders Fund, along with intensive exposure from Binance Alpha and KuCoin @Caldera Official , all attest to its leading position in the industry. While the industry is still debating 'single-chain hegemony,' Caldera has proven with Metalayer that the future belongs to interconnected modular networks. $ERA is the native currency of this Rollup internet.
