Caldera specializes in building high-performance, customizable, and application-specific layer-two blockchains. These custom-built blockchains (Caldera Chains) offer high throughput, low latency, and customizable features for optimizing the performance and user experience of decentralized applications, with the ability to process hundreds of transactions per second and sub-second confirmation times.

Caldera enables anyone to launch and run dedicated, performant layer-two blockchain “rollups”. Rollups are lightweight, highly-customizable blockchains that inherit security from another blockchain, such as Ethereum or Polygon. By giving each application its own “app-rollup”, Caldera grants them a dedicated lane for their app’s transactions, radically lowering transaction costs and enabling projects to de-risk from fee spikes and network outages.
