Why We Started Caldera

Web3 devs want to build ambitious apps, but today’s blockchains are slow, congested, and limiting. Ethereum processes as few instructions per second as a 1970s computer, which just… doesn’t cut it.

@Calderaxyz started with gaming in mind but quickly realized every dApp suffers from the same core issue: shared, overcrowded infrastructure.

So we built Caldera, a rollup-as-a-service platform that makes it dead simple to launch high-performance, customizable rollups. Think dedicated chains for each app, just like web apps use their own servers.

With Caldera, projects like Curio are building advanced game logic (like in-game treaties) that would be impossible on an L1. Their custom chain handles massive gas throughput with sub-second latency.

The future of web3 needs app-specific performance, and Caldera is making it happen.
