When we talk about the future of Web3, a common question is: Will there be excessive fragmentation due to the coexistence of multiple chains? The answer from Caldera is—no, as long as there is a 'backbone' connecting them. This backbone is Metalayer.
The positioning of Metalayer is akin to the TCP/IP protocol and fiber optic backbone of the internet. It is not the 'application layer' directly aimed at users, but rather the foundation that allows all Rollups to communicate with each other. What users experience on the front end is a simple and intuitive experience, but in the background, Metalayer is orchestrating solvers, executing cross-chain validations, and completing liquidity calls.
The significance of this design is that it transforms multiple chains from a hindrance into an advantage. Each Rollup can be customized according to its own needs, and Metalayer ensures they do not become isolated. This mirrors the early development path of the internet: different networks connect through a backbone, ultimately forming today's global internet.
Caldera's goal is to establish Metalayer as the 'internet backbone' of Web3, enabling the future 10,000 Rollups to interconnect like web pages.
