The cold start problem has always been the 'curse' of new chains: no users → no liquidity → no applications, resulting in a chain lying lonely on the block explorer. However, Caldera provides a real solution through the combination of Rollup Engine + Metalayer.
For example: a game team decides to launch a chain on Caldera, and they can deploy it through the Rollup Engine to gain interoperability support from Metalayer on the very first day. Users can come over with stablecoins, NFTs, or game assets from other chains without having to wait for ecosystem development. This means that from the moment the chain goes live, it is no longer an 'empty chain,' but is naturally connected to a vast network.
This cold start capability is particularly critical in the highly competitive blockchain gaming and DeFi arenas. In the past, many teams burned through large budgets to attract users, yet still could not break through the critical point. Caldera's advantage lies in its underlying interoperability, which solves the cold start issue, allowing project teams to focus solely on application innovation.
Cold start is no longer a 'life-and-death test,' but a systematically solved problem. For developers, this means that launching a chain is no longer a gamble, but a more controllable growth path.
