Caldera Launches Support for SVM, Becoming First Multi-VM Rollup Platform

[PRESS RELEASE – San Francisco, CA, December 18th, 2024]

Caldera, the industry-leading Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform powering major blockchains including Manta Pacific, Injective, Apechain, and Kinto, today announced the integration of the SOON stack, enabling developers to deploy Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) capabilities on Ethereum rollups. This integration establishes Caldera as Web3’s first multi-VM rollup platform.

This strategic partnership between Caldera and SOON marks a transformative advancement in blockchain scalability technology, enabling developers to deploy high-performance SVM rollups alongside traditional Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) implementations through Caldera’s proven one-click deployment platform.

SOON’s innovative decoupled SVM architecture, which separates Solana’s virtual machine from its consensus layer is a technological breakthrough allowing the deployment of SVM’s superior performance capabilities across Ethereum’s secure Layer 1 infrastructure, unlocking a range of onchain use-cases that were previously impossible due to performance constraints.

“This integration with SOON is the latest among our efforts towards an on-chain future where deploying a modular, ultra-fast, app-specific blockchain is easy as executing an on-chain transaction.” said Matt Katz, CEO at Caldera. “This partnership enables developers to harness SVM’s exceptional speed while benefiting from Ethereum’s robust security framework, marking a significant step toward democratizing access to high-performance blockspace.”

Key benefits of the integration include:

• Enhanced transaction processing capabilities for rollups powered by SVM’s advanced architecture.
• Flexible multi-VM support allows developers to choose purpose-specific environments.
• Native Ethereum security through integrated fraud-proof systems.
• 1-click deployment process requiring minimal technical expertise.

The partnership will debut with an SVM devnet launch in the coming weeks, providing developers with immediate access to test and deploy applications.
