🔥 Caldera: the next generation Internet built by Rollups Imagine a world with infinite blockchain and seamless connectivity - where users can easily transfer assets across chains, conduct transactions, and interact with various applications without any barriers. This is the future that "Rollups Internet" @ Calderaxyz is building to make the encryption world faster, cheaper and more connected. ⭐ Core products 1. Rollup engine Caldera's Rollup engine can start any number of high-performance new blockchains in just a few minutes, ensuring that the system has the ability to scale horizontally, thereby achieving true infinite scalability. This technological architecture ensures that the platform is never "saturated" and provides strong support for the growing demand for transactions. 2. Metalayer As a full stack universal interoperability solution, Metalayer achieves seamless integration across chains. It not only reduces the interaction costs between users and developers, but also brings additional value streams to the ecosystem, providing diversified revenue sources for the platform's business model. ⭐ Market background and demand Caldera's design philosophy is based on a prediction of the future blockchain world: a single chain can no longer meet the growing demand for diversity. Just as the Internet is not composed of a single server, the future blockchain ecology will inevitably be coordinated by millions of dedicated chains. Caldera's platformization solution perfectly caters to this trend, achieving efficient response to multiple scenarios by supporting horizontal scaling: -DeFi Domain By utilizing high-performance Rollup technology, Caldera can significantly improve transaction speed and reduce transaction fees, making it an ideal underlying architecture for decentralized financial applications. -Game Ecology By optimizing for the specific needs of gaming projects, Caldera can provide a low latency, high-throughput trading experience, significantly improving player experience and operational efficiency. -AI and DePIN In the application scenarios of decentralized artificial intelligence and physical infrastructure networks, Caldera provides solid technical support and has attracted a number of cutting-edge innovative projects including Bluwhale, Spheron, Cluster Protocol, Huddle01, and Rivalz. -Enterprise level solutions By providing highly customized blockchain solutions, Caldera helps enterprises quickly integrate blockchain technology and achieve the landing of diverse application scenarios from supply chain finance to data security. ⭐ Ecosystem and Market Performance Caldera's ecosystem has shown strong development momentum. Currently, the total value exceeds 600 million US dollars, with a total of 370 million transactions and over 10 million independent addresses. The selection of key projects such as Manta Pacific, ApeChain, and Kinto further confirms the market's high recognition of Caldera's horizontal scalability and developer friendly tools. In addition, Caldera has currently deployed 30 chains on the mainnet, accounting for about a quarter of Ethereum's existing L2/L3 ecosystem, and supports three different types of Rollup platforms: Optimism, Arbitrarum, and ZK Sync - the only product in the world that can simultaneously run three types of Rollup on the mainnet. In addition to EVM, Caldera also provides beta support for the Soon SVM stack. Caldera is also at the forefront of supporting all settlement layers, having launched its first L2 on Hyperliquid (Sovrun) and Berachain, showcasing its innovative capabilities in cross chain interoperability and settlement. ⭐ Financing situation In terms of capital, Caldera has received funding from Founders Fund Dragonfly、 Top institutions such as Sequoia Capital and AllianceDAO have invested a total of $24 million. This substantial support not only proves the market's recognition of its technological path and business model, but also lays a solid foundation for the platform's subsequent expansion in multiple field scenarios. ⭐ Review More chains mean more innovation and more application scenarios, as well as more opportunities for users and developers. In the future, in addition to a few super giants such as ETH and Solana, there will be more demand for blockchain that meets specific scenarios to create new narratives for the market. There is a great demand in the market for platforms that can support one click chain sending. Caldera supports customization of blockchain and can achieve functions that are difficult to achieve with general L1. Caldera can transform applications into a high-performance, application specific blockchain through one click rollup deployment and developer friendly tools. For encrypted users, Caldera means there are no longer high fees, slow transactions, or fragmented ecosystems. By allowing for horizontal scaling on an infinite number of blockchains, Caldera's capacity will never reach saturation and can adapt to constantly emerging new applications.
