$360M+ txs. $1B+ in TVL and they’re just getting started That’s @Calderaxyz, the L2 platform that’s been building heavily even before the Kaito hype Here’s everything you need to know 👇🏻 2/ What is Caldera? It’s a rollup launcher - think of it like AWS but for custom L2s. Devs can make scalable chains for NFTs, DeFi, or gaming in minutes. 3/ Clean tech With the Caldera Rollup Engine, you customize: • Consensus • Fee model • Data layer Everything anchors to ETH - but it feels like your own chain. 4/ Numbers don’t lie • 25%+ of live rollups use Caldera • 60M+ transactions • $800M+ in total value locked • Trusted by Manta Network, Rarible, ApeCoin & more 5/ Metalayer 🤘🏻 Caldera built a framework that lets rollups ‘talk’ to each other. Assets, NFTs, game states - all move chain to chain without bridges. Just smooth chain activity. 6/ Worried about fees? Don’t be. Caldera chains are built for low cost and high throughput. Devs build fast. Users don’t rage-quit. Low fees = everyone happy right? 7/ For all my builders: Caldera is fully EVM-compatible and supports: • Native SDKs • Plug-and-play APIs • Custom logic per app Kaito tracks mindshare - but Caldera gives it something worth tracking. 8/ Who’s it for? Anyone building next-gen stuff: • SocialFi • Tokenized RWAs • Onchain games • NFT marketplaces If your UX dies when traffic spikes, Caldera is built to be your lifeline 🧠 9/ Final word With Kaito involved Caldera is now more than infra. Caldera has been at my top picks for the pre-tge projects for a while now and I don’t think they’ll be going anywhere anytime soon Interesting to see what’s to come with $ERA too 👀 source: @banditxbt Caldera thread from May 22 (yes, I stole it)
