In recent years, the infrastructure of blockchain has been undergoing a transformation from monolithic design to modular composition. You will find that the data availability layer, execution layer, settlement layer, and even ordering services have all appeared in their own independent tracks.
Caldera chooses to follow the trend, hiding the complexity of these modular combinations, allowing developers to simply select the appropriate combination to quickly assemble a chain. It's like cloud computing in the traditional internet, where users do not need to worry about the specific implementation of servers, databases, and bandwidth, but rather directly call the API.
In the blockchain world, Caldera plays the role of this cloud platform. Modularization itself is not a new concept, but truly making it usable for developers and perceivable for users is the challenge. Caldera turns modularization from a technical slogan into a reality, enabling more project parties to enter this track.
In the long run, this may accelerate the diversification of blockchain applications, as each project can build a chain that fully aligns with its logic based on its needs, like assembling a puzzle.
