Comparison of Metalayer and Traditional Rollup Architecture
Rollup has become an important path for Ethereum scalability, but most Rollups operate independently, making cross-chain interaction difficult. Caldera's Metalayer has chosen a different technical route: it is not only a scaling tool but also an interconnect protocol.
🔸 Limitations of Traditional Rollup
Execution layer/data availability is mostly a closed design
Cross-chain relies on bridges or third parties → increases latency and attack surface
🔸 Breakthrough of Metalayer
Unified communication layer + standardized interface
Multiple Rollup states converge to a coordination layer
Shared validator network reaches consensus → cross-chain interaction is as natural as single-chain
🔸 Balance of Performance and Security
Batch processing & compression → reduce data transmission volume
Light client verification → ensure information accuracy
Modular design → flexible choice of security level and execution mode
🔸 Economic Layer Design
$ERA = Core Fuel
State updates / communication fees settled in ERA
Validators stake ERA to receive incentives → technology and economy closely bound
✅ Summary
#caldera 's Metalayer provides not only performance improvements but also an architectural evolution. It offers a native interoperability foundation layer for multi-chain ecosystems, pushing Rollup towards a true 'interconnected network'.
