Caldera Confirms Collaboration with EigenCloud for Incorporation of EigenDA Version 2
Caldera, a leading provider of rollup infrastructure solutions based in San Francisco and operating as Constellation Labs dba Caldera, has announced a partnership with EigenCloud to integrate EigenDA V2 into its rollup engine. This collaboration aims to address the challenge of efficient data availability in blockchain rollups.
Next-Generation Data Availability Layer for Rollups
EigenDA V2 offers a secure, scalable, and cost-effective data availability layer for rollups. It overcomes the limitations of Ethereum’s Layer 1 by providing high throughput, enterprise-level performance guarantees, and seamless developer usability.
Key advantages of EigenDA V2 include:
- Significantly increased data throughput, up to 100 MB/s, enabling much higher scalability for rollups compared to traditional Ethereum Layer 1 data posting.
- Elimination of separate consensus mechanisms for data availability by leveraging Ethereum’s existing decentralized security, reducing complexity and potential attack vectors.
- Guaranteed bandwidth through data reservations, ensuring predictable and consistent performance tailored for enterprise and high-throughput applications.
- Substantial cost reductions compared to relying solely on Ethereum L1, addressing one of the major bottlenecks in rollup scalability and making blockchain applications more economically viable for fintech, payments, and other sectors.
- Strong security guarantees via Ethereum’s trust model, maintaining decentralization and integrity without introducing separate tokens or layers that could weaken security.
- User-friendly integration with one-click deployment through platforms like Caldera, simplifying adoption for developers and existing chains, thus accelerating broader blockchain adoption.
- Linear scalability with the number of operators, allowing the data availability layer to grow securely and efficiently as demand increases.
Unlimited Use Cases and Scalability without Compromise
The integration of EigenDA V2 offers industry-leading data throughput capabilities of 100 MB/s for blockchain rollups. Existing Caldera chains may opt to switch to EigenDA V2, providing flexibility for all Caldera users.
EigenDA is backed by millions of dollars in restaked ETH, providing bulletproof economic security. By leveraging a dedicated Data Availability (DA) layer instead of relying solely on Ethereum L1, rollups can achieve higher performance while reducing costs.
EigenDA is a next-generation DA solution that draws inspiration from Danksharding while eliminating the need for independent consensus mechanisms. It offers guaranteed bandwidth through reservations, ensuring rollups receive fixed-cost bandwidth. The streamlined approach eliminates the technical complexity traditionally associated with integrating advanced data availability solutions.
The EigenDA V2 integration will be available as a one-click option within the Caldera dashboard for new rollup deployments. This partnership opens the door to unlimited use cases and enables blockchain applications to scale without compromising on security or decentralization.
