Rollups are Layer 2 scaling solutions that bundle transactions to increase efficiency and reduce costs on the Ethereum network. Caldera empowers developers to create application-specific rollups tailored to various use cases—such as gaming, AI, and decentralized finance (DeFi), through its innovative tools and frameworks. At the core of its ecosystem is the Metalayer, which connects these rollups, enabling shared liquidity and cross-chain interoperability. 》𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Caldera stands out for its developer-friendly tools and its focus on scalability and connectivity. Here’s what makes it unique: 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐩 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞: This is Caldera’s primary tool, allowing developers to launch fully customizable blockchain chains optimized for high-throughput applications. It supports major rollup frameworks like Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, and ZK Stack, giving developers flexibility to build chains suited to their needs. 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: The Metalayer is a unifying framework that connects Caldera’s rollups, facilitating seamless asset transfers, shared liquidity, and cross-chain interactions. This is especially valuable for applications requiring interoperability across blockchain networks, such as DeFi platforms and gaming ecosystems. ▪︎ 𝑼𝒔𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔: - Gaming: Enables zero-fee gameplay and instant cross-chain asset transfers. - AI: Provides scalable infrastructure for decentralized AI models. - DeFi: Powers modular exchanges with cross-chain liquidity and KYC capabilities. 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: As of recent reports, @Calderaxyz boasts: Over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL). - 360 million transactions. - 10 million unique wallets across more than 75 active chains. 》𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬: Caldera has secured significant financial backing and built a robust network of partners, reinforcing its position in the blockchain space: ▪︎ 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: - Caldera has raised $25 million in total, including a $15 million Series A round led by Founders Fund, with participation from Dragonfly, Sequoia Capital, Arkstream Capital, and Lattice Fund. - These funds are being used to enhance the Metalayer and expand Caldera’s ecosystem, which now includes over 50 modular rollups. ▪︎ 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬: - Caldera collaborates with prominent projects such as Manta Network, ApeChain, Kinto, Injective, RARI Chain, and Zero Network by Zerion. - These partnerships highlight its role as a foundational infrastructure provider for leading Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains. Addressing the main issue of liquidity fragmentation, critics argue that widespread rollup adoption could exacerbate this problem. However, the Metalayer aims to solve it by unifying @Calderaxyz’s ecosystem.
