The Fortune Teller price

Yesterday, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) published a blog announcing intent to go all-in on integrating zero-knowledge (zk) into the Ethereum L1: This could be a major upgrade, with massive implications for scalability and privacy. 🧵:

The first wave of rollups was all about architecture. The next wave will be about distribution. @Calderaxyz gets this. Most others don’t. Let’s break it down 👇 In 2021–2023, we saw a surge in general-purpose rollups: Arbitrum Optimism zkSync Starknet Base Each tried to attract developers by offering “Ethereum, but scalable.” But the UX still sucked: Apps competed for blockspace Gas costs spiked on demand Devs were boxed into global constraints Now, teams want more control. More flexibility. More ownership. That’s why the appchain thesis emerged. And rollup frameworks like OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and Polygon CDK began popping up. But most of these are still highly fragmented and complex. → You need to integrate a DA layer → Plug in a prover → Build or manage your own sequencer → Monitor and upgrade the infra stack → Ship your own explorer + RPC infra @Calderaxyz changes that. They provide the full modular stack out of the box: Celestia for DA RISC Zero for proving Espresso for sequencing Dashboard deployment Modular VM support (EVM today, others coming) So instead of just competing on “decentralization” or “compression,” they’re competing on product velocity and builder UX. That’s the actual unlock in this next phase of L2 wars. Who wins? → Not who has the most novel cryptography → But who puts scalable infra in the hands of the most builders — fastest Caldera’s lead isn’t architectural. It’s operational. And that’s exactly what wins distribution in the next rollup cycle.

The idea of app-specific blockchains isn’t new. But until now, it’s been a thesis, not a product. That changes with Caldera. Ride with me 👇🧵 For years, launching your own blockchain meant months of protocol work, hiring a team of node ops, and gluing together DA, proving, and sequencer layers. Most teams never got that far. They launched smart contracts instead. @Calderaxyz just flipped that script. With its newly launched modular stack, Caldera lets you deploy a full rollup complete with Celestia DA, RISC Zero proving, and Espresso sequencing without writing infra code or managing nodes. And this isn’t a whitepaper product. It’s live. It’s working. It’s powering over 50+ production rollups today. This stack allows: - Dedicated blockspace - Custom gas tokens - Fine-tuned fee markets - Optional shared liquidity - Seamless dev UX via a dashboard It turns the appchain dream into a builder reality. → DeFi apps can create their own fee environments → Games can eliminate congestion risk → NFT projects can optimize for throughput or permanence → DAOs can own their infra stack from day one Appchains are no longer an ecosystem bet. They’re becoming the default path for serious teams that don’t want to rent blockspace. @Calderaxyz is quietly making that migration effortless. And for sure, Caldera is the future gMERA to Y'all.
