The first wave of rollups was all about architecture. The next wave will be about distribution. @Calderaxyz gets this. Most others don’t. Let’s break it down 👇 In 2021–2023, we saw a surge in general-purpose rollups: Arbitrum Optimism zkSync Starknet Base Each tried to attract developers by offering “Ethereum, but scalable.” But the UX still sucked: Apps competed for blockspace Gas costs spiked on demand Devs were boxed into global constraints Now, teams want more control. More flexibility. More ownership. That’s why the appchain thesis emerged. And rollup frameworks like OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and Polygon CDK began popping up. But most of these are still highly fragmented and complex. → You need to integrate a DA layer → Plug in a prover → Build or manage your own sequencer → Monitor and upgrade the infra stack → Ship your own explorer + RPC infra @Calderaxyz changes that. They provide the full modular stack out of the box: Celestia for DA RISC Zero for proving Espresso for sequencing Dashboard deployment Modular VM support (EVM today, others coming) So instead of just competing on “decentralization” or “compression,” they’re competing on product velocity and builder UX. That’s the actual unlock in this next phase of L2 wars. Who wins? → Not who has the most novel cryptography → But who puts scalable infra in the hands of the most builders — fastest Caldera’s lead isn’t architectural. It’s operational. And that’s exactly what wins distribution in the next rollup cycle.
