Following the discussion of "Eclipse and its modular camp" in the last issue, this issue will talk about @Calderaxyz and its modular friends. Caldera has been favored by a number of VCs and technology giants, and has received two rounds of financing of US$9 million led by Sequoia and Dragonfly Capital.
As a seed player in the RaaS track, Caldera is one of the few projects that can rival @alt_layer.

Caldera × Manta Network

@MantaNetwork, as a star privacy public chain, has completed three rounds of financing totaling 31.6 million US dollars. The initial product form is the parallel chain L1 of the Polkadot ecosystem - Manta Atlantic.
The collaboration aims to build a new zk-Rollup chain, Manta Pacific, using Cladera’s RaaS feature.
Manta has thus formed a dual-chain ecosystem of L1 (Atlantic) + L2 (Pacific).

Pacific Blanket

Manta Pacific is built on OP Stack and is an EVM-compatible L2 designed specifically for ZK applications.
With native universal ZK circuits and interfaces + OP Stack’s scalability + Celestia’s data availability, Caldera will provide Manta Pacific with a professional one-click chain launch infrastructure as a RaaS.
In short, Pacific's modular stack:
Celestia(DA)+ OP Stack+ Caldera(RaaS)

Caldera × Loot Chain

Loot Chain is positioned as a modular gaming public chain, incubated by @GoldAdventure, a DAO organization focusing on NFT and blockchain games.
With Caldera’s RaaS service, Loot Chain is built on OP Stack and uses Polygon as its data availability layer.
In summary, Loot Chain is a modular game public chain based on Polygon (DA) + OP Stack (L2).

Caldera × Cronus

@cronos_chain is an EVM-compatible Cosmos SDK chain backed by @cryptocom CEX, and is also a well-known public chain in the last bull market. Through the RaaS service provided by Caldera, Cronos will support developers to quickly and easily build OP-Rollup (L2) based on the Cronos L1 layer.
All L2s built on Caldera will share the security of Cronos L1, and L2s will achieve seamless cross-chain interoperability.

Caldera × Syndr

@SyndrHQ is a decentralized derivatives trading protocol that recently announced the transformation of dApp to L3 chain based on Arbitrum Orbit. Syndr's modular chain transformation uses Caldera's RaaS underlying infrastructure to achieve one-click deployment of Sync L3 chain.
Through L3 modular transformation, the performance of the Syndr mainnet will be greatly improved, bringing users a cost-effective and low-latency trading experience.

Caldera × Curio

@0xcurio is a full-chain game engine, which received a seed round of financing of $2.9 million led by Bain Capital. The cooperation between Curio and Cladera aims to realize a full-chain game in the true sense: that is, not only game characters and props are put on the chain, but also the logic and rules of the game are put online. Caldera's Rollup infrastructure integrates Curio at the bottom layer, realizes the built-in game engine, and makes the realization of full-chain games possible.

Caldera × Hyperlane

@Hyperlane_xyz is positioned as a modular interoperable protocol and has previously completed a $18.5 million seed round of financing supported by Variant, Galaxy, CoinFund and other institutions.

The collaboration aims to achieve seamless cross-chain interoperability between Rollups built on Caldera, as well as cross-chain communication between Caldera Rollups and any other L1/L2 supported by Hyperlane.

The above is a brief introduction to Caldera and its modular friends. For more cooperation projects with Caldera, please refer to its official blog. End.
