what's caldera?

Caldera is a blockchain infrastructure provider specializing in Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS), enabling developers to deploy customizable, high-performance Layer 2 and Layer 3 rollups on Ethereum with minimal friction. Its core value proposition lies in simplifying the creation of application-specific chains that offer sub-second confirmations, high throughput exceeding hundreds of transactions per second, and low-latency execution, all while leveraging modular data availability solutions. Key innovations include the Metalayer, a unification protocol that interconnects rollups across ecosystems like Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, and Polygon, facilitating seamless liquidity and multichain tokenomics without compromising sovereignty. Caldera targets diverse use cases such as DeFi, gaming, social apps, and AI, powering over 100 chains with $400M+ in TVL and 850M+ transactions processed. Notable partnerships with projects like ApeCoin, Manta Network, and Rarible underscore its role as a foundational layer for scaling Ethereum's multichain future, enabling hyper-financialization and omnichain experiences.
