ERA Caldera Rank #851 $0.0946 ▼ 0.84%

Caldera is a rollup platform built on Ethereum that focuses on horizontal scaling and interoperability between rollups. Rather than concentrating on optimizing a single blockchain, the platform lets projects deploy their own customizable rollups while continuing to rely on Ethereum's underlying security and decentralization. At the center of the system is the Metalayer, a unifying layer that links rollups built on both Optimistic and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) frameworks. This layer is designed to coordinate activity, enable communication, and allow resource sharing among chains without forcing them to give up their individual characteristics. By supporting a multi-rollup environment that spans Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Base, Caldera functions as a Rollups-as-a-Service infrastructure provider and a cross-chain communication layer. The ERA token serves as the native asset of this ecosystem, supporting operations across the network of connected rollups and the broader rollup services stack.
