In today's continuously evolving Blockchain technology, we can't help but ponder: Will the future Blockchain ecosystem, like the modern internet, have each application possessing its unique domain? The emergence of Caldera seems to be paving the way for this vision, attempting to accelerate the arrival of the "Hundred Chains Era."

The core advantage of Caldera lies in its innovative modular stacking approach. This method allows project parties to flexibly choose data availability solutions (such as Celestia or EigenDA), settlement layers (such as Ethereum, Polygon, or other L1 networks), and execution environments (EVM or non-EVM). This free combination model theoretically supports unlimited scalability, enabling any team to customize the most suitable Blockchain system according to their needs.

The logic behind this model is quite intuitive: transforming a public chain into a form of supply chain. Caldera provides modular assembly services, while other teams leverage these services to build their own Blockchains, a process akin to the mass production model of a factory. As the scale expands, the marginal costs will gradually decrease, thereby deepening Caldera's competitive barriers.

However, ambitious plans do not mean there are no challenges. Although the vision of the multi-chain era is appealing, the reality is that user migration is not easy. Users have become accustomed to using wallets on Ethereum and trading NFTs on Solana, and convincing them to migrate to an entirely new Blockchain requires not only strong technical support but also significant ecosystem incentives. While Caldera can address the technical issues of building a chain, it cannot directly help applications solve the problem of user cold start.

More importantly, while modularization brings flexibility, it also significantly increases the complexity of the system. The combination of each layer may introduce new security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues. Therefore, Caldera not only has to take on the responsibility of building the platform but also needs to provide ongoing operational support and security guarantees; otherwise, its reputation may suffer serious damage.

Caldera is pioneering a brand new track, but whether it can truly support the prosperity of the multi-chain era ultimately depends on the choices of application developers and users. Although Caldera has painted an exciting blueprint for the future of Blockchain, its success still requires the test of time and market recognition.
