Caldera: Ethereum Rollup Deployment Platform
Reasons to participate
Caldera is one of the Rollup ecosystems on Ethereum that helps Web3 teams launch high-performance, customized, application-specific Rollups. With over 75 modular Rollups already in Caldera’s network, it supports an ecosystem of unified Rollups that share collective network effects and enjoy greater efficiency, scalability, and security.
According to ROOTDATA data , Caldera has completed two rounds of financing with a total amount of US$24 million , specifically:
In February 2023, Caldera announced the completion of a $9 million financing round led by Sequoia Capital and Dragonfly Capital, with participation from Neo, 1kx, Ethereal Ventures, and other angel investors;
In July 2024, Caldera announced the completion of a US$15 million Series A financing round, led by Founders Fund, with participation from Dragonfly, Sequoia Capital, Arkstream Capital, Lattice and others.
In February this year, Caldera announced that it will launch the Caldera ecosystem’s native token ERA, which will be launched through retroactive airdrops later this year to accelerate the decentralization of the Caldera protocol. Therefore, for projects that airdrop to famous brands, although the early interaction tasks have ended, there are still opportunities for interaction at present.
