Rollup has already become the main theme of Ethereum scaling, but today's ecosystem resembles a collection of isolated islands: more and more chains are emerging, yet the user experience hasn’t improved. Transferring assets requires bridging, switching networks requires signing, and liquidity is dispersed, making it as complicated as applying for a visa between different countries.

Caldera ($ERA) aims to upgrade the 'island economy' to a 'network economy'. It starts with RaaS, allowing any project to quickly launch chains, but its true goal is to become the underlying protocol of the Rollup internet.

Modularity is the first step: developers can freely combine OP, Arbitrum, ZK, and other tech stacks, connecting to different DA layers and sequencers, like building with Lego. Interoperability is key: with the help of Metalayer and Hyperlane, Rollups can share messages and liquidity, even achieving unified gas settlement, allowing users to be oblivious to cross-chain interactions. Customization enables application chains to optimize according to needs: gaming chains require low latency, DeFi chains need security, and social chains demand high concurrency.

Currently, Caldera supports over 100 chains, including Manta, ApeChain, and Zerion, with a total of more than 27 million transactions processed. If the vision of Metalayer is realized, $ERA is expected to become a universal settlement medium across Rollups, deeply linking to the growth of the entire ecosystem.

In summary: Caldera is not just a chain launching tool; it aims to be the internet protocol stack of the Rollup era, and $ERA is the lifeblood driving this network. @Caldera Official #caldera $ERA
