Today, let's talk about the underlying architecture of Caldera and the AI economy.

The combination of AI and blockchain is becoming a new narrative, but in reality, most AI projects are still at the stage of NFT avatar generation or simple AI tools, far from a true AI economy. The key issue is that if AI agents want to participate in the on-chain economy, they must have a dedicated, flexible, and verifiable environment.

Caldera's modular rollup can provide such a foundation for AI. First, it allows AI projects to deploy their own dedicated chains, specifically handling interactions and settlements between AI and users. This chain can optimize transaction speeds and support high-frequency calls without having to share the same mainnet resources as DeFi or NFT. Secondly, Caldera's cross-chain interoperability feature allows different AI agents to interoperate. For example, an AI translation agent and an AI financial advisor can operate on different Caldera chains but collaborate seamlessly through ERA.

More importantly, the computational results of AI need to be credible. Users must know that the answers given by an AI are based on real data rather than a tampered process. Caldera can combine with zero-knowledge proof technology to ensure that the AI's computation and reasoning processes are transparent and verifiable. This means that future AIs can not only generate results but also attach a "proof" on-chain, informing users that their logic is trustworthy.

Imagine a future scenario: a user initiates a task on-chain, the AI agent automatically responds, completes, and submits the result, with the entire economic incentive settled through Caldera's dedicated AI chain. This is not just about "AI on-chain," but the embryonic form of an AI agent economy operating on-chain.

Caldera may not directly become the name of a specific AI application, but it could become the foundation supporting the entire AI-Web3 ecosystem, truly enabling AI to become a participant in the on-chain economy, rather than just an external plugin. @Caldera Official #Caldera $ERA
