Caldera introduces Guardian Nodes and thus creates a new way for teams to collect money and decentralize their network

San Francisco, United States, May 24, 2024, Chainwire

• The Rollup-As-A-Service platform Caldera introduces Guardian Nodes, a production ready for production that enables network users to verify rollup blocks against rewards.
• Hychain, the first team to use this system with Caldera, achieved sales of $ 8 million with the sale of his first knot.

Caldera, the leading Rollup-As-A-Service (RAAS) platform, currently operates over fifty EVM rollups (including Manta, Injective Inevm, Kinto, Hychain, Treasure and Apechain), which secure a total value of approximately $ 1 billion.

In addition to the central roll-up infrastructure, Caldera offers a catalog with over 50 integrations in the entire modular stack and a selection of other custom, custom tools that can use chains.

Guardian Nodes are the latest addition to this list.

the background

Today, the majority of the L1 blockchains work with a proof-of-stake model, in which the participants of a chain are motivated by network rewards to give their share and validate the chain.

This incentive structure promotes decentralization by encouraging individual stakers to use honest validers while those who do not do this who do not do this at extremely high costs for an attack on a network and the endangerment of its security.

decentralization of rollups

EVM-Rollups have practically solved the scalability problem, since L2S and L3s on Ethereum enable practically endless scaling. But there is still no incentive for honest network participants to monitor these rollups.

Calderas Guardian Nodes enable teams to decentralize their rollups by enabling users to verify blocks and to secure the network against rewards. In the background, this is achieved by introducing a new "Light Verifier" for Arbitrum Rollup, which enables Guardian Node operators to verify nitro batch on everyday hardware without having to perform a complete knot.

teams can provide Guardian Nodes for their users via a "node sale". “Key” is distributed that authenticate the justification of a nod to submit claims and collecting rewards. This gives buyers the option of operating a Guardian node on a certain rollup.

Hychain The first team that used this system was able to raise over 8 million US dollars with more than 16,000 knot keys and thus give its community an enormous thrust for his project achieve.

By giving more parties the opportunity to monitor a roller up and identify malignant behavior, the safety of the network becomes more robust - a crucial step to build confidence in the correctness of the chain. This in turn leads to greater demand for the native tokens of a rollup that is necessary so that users can take part in the validation, and this contributes to ensuring practical crypto -economic security for the network.

Guardians nodes are another highlight of the impressive infrastructure solution from Caldera. In view of the successful Hychain start, we expect other teams that will create rollups in the coming months.
