Caldera company
Overview
Caldera operates a rollup-as-a-service platform and, increasingly, a network of interconnected purpose-built blockchains that settle on Ethereum. Its two core components are the Rollup Engine, which lets applications and communities launch fully customisable chains tuned for their own workload, and Metalayer, a cross-chain connectivity system that links Caldera rollups to each other and to other blockchains so liquidity and users are not fragmented across isolated chains. As shown on caldera.xyz in a page published 2 July 2026, the network had 75+ chains launched, $1 billion+ in total value locked, 550 million total transactions and 17 million unique wallets, and Caldera describes itself as the fastest-growing rollup ecosystem on Ethereum. It has a native token, ERA, with an airdrop programme called ERA Drops launched in early 2026. Its stated target verticals are gaming (zero-fee gameplay), AI (scaling decentralised infrastructure) and DeFi (modular exchanges with cross-chain liquidity). Its community metrics include 360k Twitter followers, 270k Discord members and 110k Telegram subscribers. Caldera started as a rollup-as-a-service provider and evolved into an interconnected chain network by adding Metalayer for cross-chain connectivity, then launched the ERA token with the ERA Drops airdrop programme in early 2026.
