At the crucial stage of transitioning the Ethereum L2 ecosystem from mere "technical proof" to "industrial trust application", Caldera emerges as a new infrastructure breaking the constraints of traditional models that focused more on technology than trust, and on Web3 more than industry.
With a vision centered around:
Enhancing industry trust,
Contractual rights confirmation across chains,
Establishing contribution value,
Caldera provided a three-dimensional framework consisting of:
1. RaaS engine enhanced by industrial trust,
2. Cross-chain trust contracts center,
3. Multi-layered token economy for contribution.
This design not only addresses the most prominent L2 challenges in the industry (lack of trust between parties, difficulty in valuing, weak collaboration security), but also connects the value chain in Web3 and the industrial economy through the concept of "trust as a fundamental link." Thus, Caldera becomes the first standard for RaaS infrastructure that achieves integration between: technical trust, industrial trust, and contribution value.

1. Technological innovation: From technical trust to industrial trust
Caldera's innovations are no longer limited to the "decentralization and immutability" of blockchain, but focus on actual industry requirements: trusted entities, controllable cooperation, and traceable risk management.
A. RaaS engine enhanced by industrial trust
Enables the transformation of Rollup from merely a "data custodian" to a "conveyor of industrial trust."
Relies on a trusted contract alliance that includes major traditional companies (such as DHL, SF Express, and regional banks) alongside Web3 contracts, creating a double verification layer that reduces fraud to less than 0.001%.
Supports ZK Trust Proof technology that maintains data privacy while reducing verification time from 24 hours to 5 minutes.
Integrates industrial cooperation rules within smart contracts (such as payment on delivery), completing the "Receive–Inspect–Pay" cycle in supply chains and reducing disputes by 85%.
2. Cross-chain trust contracts center
While traditional solutions are limited to asset transfers, the Caldera Center offers a framework for multilateral cooperation across chains through:
Standardized contract models for cross-border trade, supply chain financing, and risk-weighted assets.
Automatic contract activation via ZK certificates, raising performance efficiency by 85%.
An automatic accountability mechanism for contract breaches includes freezing ERA deposits and adding offending parties to a "trust blacklist," resulting in a compliance rate of 99.9% in 2025.
3. Environmental innovation: From scattered projects to an industrial trust network
A. Industrial trust applications
Supply chains: Collaboration with Bosch to build a trust system in automotive spare parts, reducing defects by 18% and raising trust assets to 400 million dollars.
Financial sector: Collaboration with Barclays to launch the SME RWA Trust Rollup that enabled 200 small companies to obtain loans of 350 million dollars without traditional guarantees.
B. Enhancing trust in Web3
Linking RWA trust certificates with DeFi protocols via inEVM, which increased lending efficiency by 70%.
Empowering metaverse games to exchange items backed by ZK certificates, increasing player trust by 65%.
4. $ERA Token Economy: From service token to contribution certificate
ERA as a trust guarantee: companies are required to commit ERA according to the size of their assets, with discount mechanisms in case of breach.
Sharing trust profits: ERA holders participate in cross-chain contract fees and profits from industrial assets.
Trust-based governance: Voting weight is related to the size of the contribution, with a fast track for trust-related proposals.
5. Achievements and future goals
More than 75 supported Rollup operations,
TVL exceeds 1.1 billion dollars,
17 million users,
620 million dollars in industrial trust assets.
By 2026:
Connecting 200 traditional companies covering the automotive, finance, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.
Expanding the trust network across chains to include Arbitrum and Optimism.
The promised value of ERA exceeded 700 million dollars with an expected market value exceeding 5 billion dollars.
Summary
Caldera elevates infrastructure from merely "technology" to an integrated industrial trust center, setting a new standard in the RaaS market by combining:
Technical trust,
Industrial trust,
Economic value.
With the adoption of standards such as EIP-4844 and the expansion of its applications, Caldera is expected to become the cornerstone of the "Web3+" ecosystem, driving L2 towards a new phase of "delivering trust-based value".
