Caldera provides developers with high-performance, customizable Layer-2 blockchain solutions through its Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, significantly enhancing the development efficiency of decentralized applications (DApps). By 2025, Caldera supports over 50 chains, with a TVL of $2 billion, serving projects like Manta, ApeChain, and RARI Chain, handling over 1 billion transactions.
Caldera's RaaS platform is based on Optimistic Rollup, supporting Arbitrum Nitro, Optimism Bedrock, and Polygon CDK frameworks, allowing developers to deploy customized Rollup chains with one click. Web information shows that Caldera chains achieve over 250 TPS (transactions per second), with transaction confirmation times as low as 2 seconds and Gas fees only $0.001, reducing by 99% compared to Ethereum's mainnet fees of $10-50. In tests, developers deployed a Rollup chain via Caldera CLI in under 10 minutes, supporting standard Ethereum smart contracts without code modification. Caldera's performance advantage comes from its modular design.
Developers can choose alternative data availability (DA) layers such as Celestia to further reduce costs. Tests show that using Celestia DA reduces chain Gas fees to $0.0005. The platform collaborates with Modular Cloud to provide calderascan.com block explorer for real-time transaction and balance viewing. It took 5 seconds to query data for 1000 transactions in tests.
Caldera supports cross-chain interoperability, connecting over 40 chains through the LayerZero protocol. In tests, transferring assets from Arbitrum to Base took 3 seconds. Developers integrate DApps through Caldera's API, such as building low-cost trading chains for Uniswap, shortening the development cycle by 30%.
The platform interface supports Chinese, making it intuitive and easy to use, but beginners may need more tutorials to master advanced configurations. Hardware requirements may limit participation from small developers, and it is recommended to optimize lightweight deployment options. Caldera offers developers flexible and efficient Web3 infrastructure through high-performance Rollup and modular design, reshaping DApp development standards and becoming a benchmark for Rollups. @Caldera Official #caldera $ERA
