Caldera Chain

About

Caldera Chain (Caldera.xyz) is a major blockchain infrastructure platform that allows developers to build high-performance Layer 2 and Layer 3 rollups on Ethereum. It is a Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) provider, also known as the "AWS of blockchains," because it streamlines the creation of scalable, application-specific blockchains without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Caldera, designed to meet the growing demand for Ethereum scaling solutions, enables Web3 projects to establish customisable chains for use cases such as DeFi, gambling, NFTs, AI applications, and enterprise blockchain solutions. Key Features of Caldera Chain: • High performance & scalability enable fast transactions, near-instant finality, and low-cost execution at scale. • Multi-stack support works with optimistic rollups like Arbitrum/OP Stack and ZK rollups like Polygon CDK/ZK Stack. • Ethereum Layer 2 & Layer 3 scaling boosts speed, reduces gas fees, and increases throughput via off-chain processing. • Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) helps launch Layer 2 rollups using OP Stack, Arbitrum Nitro, and ZK stacks without complex setup.
