The development of blockchain has always pursued decentralization and sharing, but with the diversification of applications, a new trend is emerging: specialization. Caldera is a representative of this trend.
Why is such a change occurring? The reasons are quite practical. Different applications have different needs: financial protocols require high security, gaming applications need high performance, and social products require low costs and high concurrency. If everyone is squeezed onto one chain, it means that everyone has to pay for others' needs. Clearly, this is not a long-term solution.
Caldera's model allows each application to be customized as needed. Development teams can create a chain that fully meets their needs, rather than competing with countless projects for limited resources. This approach is like private customization, allowing each application to achieve the best experience.
More importantly, a dedicated chain does not mean isolation. Caldera ensures that these independent chains can still interact with mainstream ecosystems through cross-chain protocols and shared security mechanisms. This makes specialization and interconnectivity compatible.
In the long run, this model may become mainstream in blockchain: each large application has its own chain, and these chains are interconnected through underlying protocols, forming a vast and flexible network. Caldera is pushing for the prototype of such a future landscape.
