In recent years, the battle for blockchain scalability has been torn between 'chain performance' and 'degree of decentralization.' Whether it's the large block solution or Layer 2 Rollup, trade-offs have been made to varying degrees. The unique value of Caldera lies in the fact that it does not simply pursue general performance, but instead provides high-performance chains dedicated to specific applications.
Caldera allows developers to make personalized choices at the execution layer, data availability layer, and proof mechanism through its modular Rollup framework. For instance, some teams may choose zero-knowledge proofs to enhance security, while others may opt for compressed data availability solutions to reduce costs. This flexibility allows blockchain to truly move towards 'application customization.'
This model is very similar to traditional internet cloud services. Enterprises back then did not need to set up their own servers; instead, they used modular components provided by AWS and GCP. Today, Caldera is playing the role of AWS in the Web3 world, allowing development teams to focus more on application logic rather than the complexities of the underlying chain.
The trend of 'dedicated chains' has already begun to take root in sectors such as DeFi, gaming, and RWA. For example, in a blockchain game, if it runs on the Ethereum mainnet, user experience will be severely affected due to high gas fees and low throughput. However, a dedicated Rollup built on Caldera can allow the game to run on a chain with low latency and high throughput while retaining interoperability with the Ethereum mainnet.
In the future, as enterprises and institutions accelerate their entry into Web3, Caldera's rapid deployment capabilities and low barriers will become a necessity. It is not just a technological product; it may also become an important catalyst for the large-scale application of blockchain.
