Caldera (ERA) gives me the most direct impression of being the 'Internet of Rollups'. In today's trend where modularity has become a chain design trend, Caldera offers a set of freely combinable and interoperable Rollup architecture, allowing different applications or ecosystems to be customized and deployed according to their needs. This is a highly scalable new path in the zk and L2 tracks.
Compared to a single-chain design, Caldera is more like a 'chain generator'. From modular to interoperable, each Caldera chain can be an independent execution unit and also participate in a multi-chain communication network, which is crucial for future applications such as DePIN, AI model on-chain, gaming subchains, and more.
ERA is its ecosystem token, which may play an important role in future governance and chain deployment costs. Modular blockchains are still in the early exploration stage, but Caldera has clearly laid out its technology and market in advance, making it worth paying attention to.
