Is the Metalayer making rollups feel like one Internet?
Rollups have been congresses, not continents—fragmented, isolated ecosystems. But Caldera’s quietly building what could be the "Internet of Rollups", and the latest Bridge Preview is its first real consumer gesture.
What's happening: Caldera's Bridge Preview offers a single-click, chain-agnostic bridge experience across multiple rollups—no chain juggling or RPC guessing. At its heart is a routing layer that chooses paths on-the-fly, optimizes fees, and hides complexity from users. The UX feels familiar—finely tuned payment routing—but powered by Metalayer logic underneath.
Why this is catching attention: behind the scenes, Caldera already supports 100+ rollups, tallies over 370 million transactions, and touches more than 10 million wallets. Now they're gearing all that infrastructure toward UI that feels seamless. If products begin defaulting to “pay, bridge, settle” via Caldera anytime a rollup is involved, user behavior shifts permanently.
Key things to track:
Are apps defaulting to Caldera for liquidity routing?
Do users prefer it over manual bridging?
Can Caldera avoid congestion or substitute fees while routing?
If this layering sticks, rollups won’t feel like walled cities—they’ll feel like neighborhoods in a shared, self-healing network.
