Recently, during a conversation with a fren, he brought up an interesting point: Caldera's role in the Web3 space is quite similar to Shopify's position in e-commerce. This analogy is surprising at first glance, but upon further reflection, it does make a lot of sense.

A few years ago, creating an e-commerce platform required a lot of time, money, and technical support. The emergence of Shopify has completely changed this situation, allowing ordinary people to easily start their own e-commerce journey. The result of this transformation is the thriving development of the e-commerce industry.

Similarly, Caldera is simplifying the complex process of deploying blockchains into a simple operation akin to 'opening a shop.' In the past, deploying a rollup required a strong technical team, substantial funding, and a long time. Now, with the help of Caldera, a small team can create their own blockchain in a short period and realize innovative ideas.

The popularization of this technology may trigger a 'rollup revolution'. In the near future, we may see various specialized blockchains emerging like mushrooms after rain, covering multiple fields such as gaming, social, DeFi, NFT, etc., as rich and diverse as the various stores in a city.

More importantly, these 'blockchain towns' are not isolated but are interconnected through Metalayer. Imagine that items obtained in the gaming chain can be used immediately as collateral in the financial chain and then showcased on the social chain; this kind of cross-chain interaction is highly anticipated.

Therefore, compared to simply focusing on the technical performance of blockchain, I am more concerned about whether Caldera can become a key entry point to encourage more people to participate in Web3. It is not just a technology platform, but more like an 'entrepreneurship opportunity generator'. It is this potential to empower ordinary entrepreneurs that makes Caldera particularly important in the Web3 ecosystem.
