Caldera's track record in RaaS and app-specific rollups

Quote147 words

Recounts working two years earlier on an app-specific perp DEX rollup and talking to every RaaS provider, arguing Caldera has shipped for years and dominated the RaaS narrative before it mattered, maturing into an ecosystem of composable appchains.

Key claims
Caldera has matured into a composable ecosystem of app-specific rollups
Roughly two years ago when I was basically just starting my professional crypto journey, I worked with a team that wanted to build an app-specific perp DEX rollup (way ahead of its time unfortunately). As I helped the team explore options, I talked to literally every RaaS team and modular infra provider in the game. Also had a call with Caldera (pretty sure it was @jimmyyy) back then, and they were like "tell us what you need and we have that thing running in a month". Many have heard of Caldera for the first time in recent weeks, and fail to understand that this team has been shipping for years. They have dominated the RaaS narrative when nobody knew why it mattered, and have matured into a composable ecosystem of app-specific rollups in the meantime. Not surprised and convinced that this is just the beginning. gmera @Calderaxyz
QUOTING @Jimmymarkets
Most people talk about shipping. Few actually ship. Be the one who does both.
