What Special About Caldera's Internet of Rollups

@Calderaxyz is pioneering the Internet of Rollups, transforming isolated blockchains into a connected ecosystem. Its platform enables developers to launch customizable rollups in hours, complete with explorers, RPCs, bridges, and indexers—making rollups as easy to deploy as apps.

Key Features

1. Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) Caldera supports major frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro, Optimism Bedrock, zkSync’s ZK Stack, Polygon CDK, and Solana’s SVM. Developers can launch application-specific rollups with built-in infrastructure, reducing deployment time from months to hours.

2. Programmable Rollup Engine Teams gain granular control over upgrades, integrations, and tooling—turning rollups into programmable infrastructure for any use case.

3. The Metalayer – Core of the Internet of Rollups The Metalayer connects every Caldera rollup into a single network:

Execution Layer – Partners like Across and Eco enable intent-based bridging, finding the fastest, cheapest asset transfer routes.

Settlement Layer – Powered by Hyperlane, offering low-latency cross-chain messaging and reads within seconds.

Developer Toolkit – SDKs, APIs, and UI components let builders create cross-rollup apps without complex messaging logic. Every rollup launched on Caldera automatically connects to the Metalayer, gaining shared liquidity and interoperability.

4. Interoperability Integrations

LayerZero extends Caldera rollups to 40+ omnichain ecosystems.

EigenDA via EigenLayer ensures scalable, cost-efficient data availability backed by slashing security.

5. Guardian Nodes & Decentralization Caldera introduced Guardian Nodes, allowing communities to secure and decentralize rollups while earning rewards—adding a new model for team funding and network trust.

6. Multi-VM Era Caldera is the first Rollup-as-a-Service to support both EVM and Solana’s SVM rollups, enabling broader developer flexibility.

Ecosystem Impact

Caldera powers dozens of live rollups and testnets. By mid-2025, its network had:

31 live rollups, 21+ testnets

$377M+ TVL

753M+ transactions

27M+ unique addresses

The company reports $1B+ TVL, 75+ supported chains, 100+ integrations, near-zero gas ($0.001 avg), and 99.99% uptime.

Final Word

Caldera is building the Internet of Rollups—a future where every rollup is instantly connected, liquid, and interoperable. With its Metalayer, RaaS platform, and cross-chain integrations, Caldera is not just scaling Ethereum—it’s unifying the multi-chain world into a seamless web of decentralized applications. $ERA #Caldera
