Caldera still has a lot of potential. @Caldera Official is not just about rollup narratives; it can also achieve a large network of interconnected rollups. While many believe it has missed the hot opportunity of rollups, I think that projects that work diligently should not be underestimated. It launched directly on Binance and Upbit's top exchanges, with luxurious financing and maximum buff.
The biggest selling point of Caldera is: no need to write a single line of code to achieve one-click deployment of Rollup chains. For public chain developers, there is no longer a need to hire a professional development team, greatly saving on financial 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 a settlement layer.
Not limited to the vast majority of L2s using Ethereum as a settlement layer, Caldera's settlement layer can be BNB, Aurora, Evmos, and other EVM-compatible chains.
Caldera is based on fraud-proof Optimistic Rollups, where 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 then uploaded to mainnets like Ethereum to ensure data availability. The downside is that it still occupies block space on the mainnet, affecting performance improvements.
The Caldera chain supports the decoupling of the DA layer, allowing developers to choose to separate the DA layer from L1s like Ethereum, using DA solutions like EigenDA/@CelestiaOrg to further enhance Rollup performance.
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 current situation is: The project team chose to list spot directly on Binance Alpha (rather than a Tier 1 exchange), combined with futures market manipulation and KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) driving hype, to reduce costs and improve ROI (Return on Investment), as seen with recent examples like $M and $VELVET. However, the specifics also depend on the project team's holdings. High control over (chips, i.e., token supply) = fewer airdrops for the community, leading to widespread criticism. Additionally, it depends on whether the project team has the funds to pump the price. If there are too many short positions, the cost of pumping becomes prohibitively high and unrealistic.
The current situation is: the project party chooses to directly launch spot trading on Binance Alpha (instead of top-tier exchanges), combining contract control and KOLs to drive popularity, in order to reduce costs and improve ROI (return on investment), such as the recent $M and $VELVET.
However, it also depends on the chips the project party holds; high short positions = the community received fewer airdrops, leading to a lot of complaints; additionally, it is important to see whether the project party has funds to drive the price up, as too many short positions would make it unrealistic to raise the price due to higher costs.

MemeCore is the first L1 blockchain specifically built for memes, driving community-powered viral marketing and fairly incentivizing contributors throughout the entire lifecycle of meme coins. It aims to evolve meme coins from short-term speculative assets into long-term cultural and economic forces.
We’ve seen too many meme coins go through their "life and death" cycles: completing their lifespan in a day or even an hour, with PvP (player vs. player) dynamics leaving nothing but chaos in the end. Former "golden dogs" (high-potential meme coins) that once easily reached tens of millions in market cap now struggle to even hit $1 million. Behind the meme hype, spontaneous community contributions and consensus were the driving forces. But now, consensus is hard to build—developers abandon projects after launch, KOL shilling is seen as a signal to dump, and retail investors have become increasingly savvy.
MemeCore addresses the core issues: - **Community incentives and consensus mechanisms.** It builds a community-centric ecosystem where every participant—traders, stakers, content creators, validators—becomes an integral part. - By fairly rewarding those who create, spread, and amplify meme culture, MemeCore ensures meme coins are no longer "one person’s狂欢 (carnival), a group’s悲哀 (tragedy)," but instead achieve long-term impact and true community consensus.
Chain abstraction/intention track is worth paying attention to.
In fact, large capital began to layout this area a long time ago, but due to the lengthy time required for Infra construction, market attention did not focus on this track.
Previously, it was also influenced by $COW, which saw a 30% increase in price after being listed on Coinbase's coin roadmap on September 18, 2024, and a 100% increase after being listed on Binance on November 6. It has been used multiple times by Trump's crypto project, resulting in a 70% increase in price.
Years of layout by large funds + undervaluation of track projects + narratives not fully exploded, I believe there are multiple buffs waiting for a suitable opportunity. Currently, with the fusion of cryptocurrencies and stocks and the hot narrative of stablecoins, more new users may be attracted to the chain in the future. This track may have more practical scenarios, as chain abstraction/intention is more user-friendly for newcomers.

We have seen too many Meme coins' 'life and death': completing their lifecycle in a day or even an hour, PvP, and P ending up in a chaotic mess. The previously high market cap 'Golden Dog' is now struggling to even reach 1 million. Behind the Meme craze, the community's spontaneous contributions and consensus are the driving forces. But now, consensus is hard to gather, developers issue coins and run away, and KOL's endorsements are seen as sell signals, making retail investors increasingly savvy.
MemeCore has captured the core of the problem: - Community incentives and consensus mechanisms. It builds a community-centered ecosystem where every participant—traders, stakers, content creators, validators—becomes an indispensable part. - By fairly rewarding those who create, disseminate, and amplify Meme culture, MemeCore ensures that Meme coins are no longer 'a celebration for one, a sorrow for many,' but truly achieve long-term effects and community consensus.
