What is Caldera?
Caldera is a Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform that allows developers to launch rollups specifically designed for the needs of their application. Instead of starting from scratch, teams can use Caldera's tools to quickly create fast and flexible rollups tailored to use cases such as decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or social platforms.
The Rollup Engine
At the heart of Caldera is the Rollup Engine, a powerful deployment system that allows developers to launch and manage custom rollups in just a few clicks or API (Application Programming Interface) calls. This is similar to how Amazon Web Services (AWS) facilitates the running of web applications in the cloud; the Rollup Engine takes care of the heavy lifting so that developers don’t have to worry about the technical details or be blockchain experts to get started.
Metalayer
The Metalayer is the invisible network that connects all Caldera rollups, allowing them to communicate, share liquidity, and pass messages securely. Instead of each rollup being an isolated island, applications can interact with each other across chains, and users can seamlessly move assets like tokens or NFTs between them.
