In the world of blockchain, everyone is talking about scalability. The scalability issue has been discussed for many years, but there are not many viable solutions. The idea proposed by Caldera is quite interesting; it does not aim to create a universal chain but focuses on modularity.
In simple terms, Caldera allows developers to build their own Rollups like stacking blocks. Need high performance? You can connect to a dedicated execution layer; need data security? You can choose a more suitable DA (Data Availability) layer. In the past, project teams were either stuck on the Ethereum main chain or had to build infrastructure on their own.
Now, Caldera is like opening a customized blockchain factory for developers, allowing them to flexibly combine whatever configurations they want. This design not only enhances the chain's performance but also reduces the trial-and-error costs for developers. One can imagine that in the future, each niche application may have its own dedicated Rollup, and Caldera is the productivity tool behind it.
