Caldera is still a project with a lot of potential. @Caldera Official is not just a rollup narrative; it is also a large network that can realize interconnection between multiple rollups. While many think it missed the hot opportunity of rollups, I believe that projects that work diligently should not be belittled. It launched directly on Binance and Upbit, secured luxurious financing, and maximized its advantages.
The biggest selling point of Caldera is: deploying a Rollup chain with one-click without writing a single line of code. For public chain developers, there is no need to hire a professional development team, greatly saving on funding costs.
At the same time, Rollup chains based on the Caldera architecture have characteristics such as high throughput, low latency, customizability, and EVM compatibility.
The Caldera chain can use any EVM-compatible chain as its settlement layer.
Not limited to the vast majority of current L2s using Ethereum as the settlement layer, Caldera's settlement layer can be BNB, Aurora, Evmos, and other EVM-compatible chains.
Caldera is based on fraud-proof Optimistic Rollups, meaning that the settlement layer operates a fraud-proof mechanism to maintain the security of the Rollup network.
Data Availability Layer (DA)
L2-related transaction data is highly compressed and uploaded to mainnets such as Ethereum to ensure data availability. The downside is that it still occupies block space on the mainnet, affecting performance improvement.
The Caldera chain supports the decoupling of the DA layer, allowing developers to choose to separate the DA layer from Ethereum and other L1s, using solutions like EigenDA/@CelestiaOrg to further enhance Rollup performance.
