The RaaS (Rollup-as-a-Service) track has rapidly heated up in the past year, with platforms like AltLayer, Conduit, and Gelato competing for market share.
Compared to them, Caldera's differentiation lies in the fact that it not only provides blockchain issuance tools but also connects these chains through Metalayer, truly solving the problem of "chain islands."
In the AltLayer model, developers can quickly launch a temporary chain, but ecological interoperability often requires additional bridging and docking; Conduit offers high-performance infrastructure but tends to focus more on the "single-chain experience."
In contrast, Caldera has chosen the path of "deployment + interoperability integration": quickly going live with the Rollup Engine and then directly accessing liquidity and user bases from dozens of chains through Metalayer.
The advantages of this model are very clear. Developers do not have to choose between "speed" and "ecosystem"; instead, they can obtain both simultaneously.
For users, Bridge Preview and intent-based cross-chain make the experience intuitive and smooth; for institutions, the nearly 100% uptime commitment and EigenDA's high-performance support provide a foundation of trust for long-term development.
It can be said that Caldera has found a more "in-depth" position in the RaaS track, being both a Rollup engineering platform and a cross-chain interoperability network.
Because of this, it has gained support from top-tier capital such as Founders Fund and Sequoia in financing, and has quickly accumulated results of 1 billion transactions.
