Still troubled by high Gas fees, slow confirmations, and cumbersome node operations? Caldera simplifies all this to 'one click'. It is a true Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform: developers do not need to write a single line of underlying code, nor worry about cross-chain bridges, validators, or data availability, and can launch a fully customized Ethereum Layer-2 chain in five minutes.
Project highlights, summed up in one sentence—'More, Fast, Good, Cheap'.
• More: The world's first platform to simultaneously support six frameworks: EVM, SolanaVM, zkSync, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon CDK; use whichever you want.
• Fast: The Metalayer interoperability layer is pre-installed with cross-chain messaging and liquidity pools, allowing assets to shuttle between any Caldera Rollup or mainstream L1/L2 in seconds.
• Good: The Rollup Engine API can dynamically scale and upgrade without downtime, just like the AWS console; guardian nodes allow anyone to participate in validation using home computers, achieving both decentralization and earning rewards.
• Province: You can choose ERC-20 tokens as Gas, with transaction fees as low as $0.01; node operation, security audits are fully managed, allowing the team to focus solely on business logic.
There are already over 30 real-world chains running on Caldera: RARI Chain, inEVM, Clearpool Ozean, zkXPLA... with a total TVL exceeding $600 million and wallet addresses surpassing ten million.
How to participate?
1. Developer: Open dashboard.caldera.xyz, connect your wallet, select the framework, DA layer, Gas token, and click Deploy. Your L2 will be generated before you finish a cup of coffee.
2. Node operators: Keep an eye on the upcoming sale of guardian nodes by the official team. You can run validation with ordinary hardware and share in block rewards.
3. Ordinary users:
• Join Discord/Telegram communities; testnet tasks and retroactive airdrops occur periodically.
4. Ecological projects: Apply for Caldera Grant, with up to $50,000 + technical support available. NFT, DeFi, GameFi, RWA across all sectors are welcome.
The ultimate goal of Ethereum scaling is not for one chain to dominate all scenarios, but for 'a thousand chains with a thousand faces'. Caldera returns chain creation power to every Builder, letting imagination be the only bottleneck.
