What is Caldera?
Caldera is a project focused on 'modular chain building', with a straightforward goal: enabling anyone to quickly create their own high-performance Layer2 chain (i.e., Caldera Chain).
Caldera is like building Lego in the blockchain world. Not only does it build chains quickly, but it also created a Metalayer framework, aiming to eliminate awkward conversations between chains. Want to transfer assets or execute logic across different chains? It handles that for you, providing a smoother experience than traditional cross-chain methods.
What advantages does Caldera have?
• Modular chain building is as fast as ordering takeout
Create an L2 in minutes, no stack preference, supports OP, ZK, Celestia, completely free to configure.
• Full cross-chain interoperability
The Metalayer framework includes an intent engine + messaging protocol, making cross-chain experiences as smooth as native.
• $ERA is versatile, not just a 'decorative coin'
Capable of gas, governance, staking, and incentives, it is an all-round performer.
• Wide ecological coverage with high activity
Over 100 chains have been launched, covering 30+ mainnets, with TVL exceeding 400 million USD and over 27 million transactions successfully processed.
• Team + capital strength both online
Core team members from Google and Uniswap, with top-tier VCs like Sequoia, Dragonfly, and Founders Fund backing the funding rounds.
• Cutting-edge and comprehensive technical route
Supports OP + ZK dual architecture and integrates Celestia DA, representing a template for 'which technology is stronger'.
