According to BlockBeats, Constellation Labs, operating under the name Caldera, has announced a strategic partnership with EigenCloud to integrate EigenDA V2 into its Rollup engine. This integration aims to significantly enhance the data throughput capacity of blockchain Rollups to 100 MB/s, marking a major advancement in scalability and performance.
The collaboration addresses a core challenge faced by Rollups: efficient data availability (DA). Traditionally, Rollups publish transaction data directly to Ethereum's Layer 1 (L1) for validation and state maintenance, which is costly and limits scalability. By utilizing an independent DA layer instead of solely relying on Ethereum L1, Rollups can reduce costs while significantly improving performance, supporting diverse applications without compromising security and decentralization.
Matthew Katz, CEO of Caldera, expressed enthusiasm about integrating EigenDA V2 into Caldera's Rollup engine, highlighting the unparalleled scalability it offers to partner projects. As more institutions, including payment companies, fintech firms, and banks, transition to blockchain, the importance of breakthrough scalability becomes increasingly evident.
EigenDA represents a forward-looking blockchain infrastructure solution, drawing inspiration from Danksharding design principles while eliminating the need for an independent consensus mechanism. It leverages the decentralized trust of the Ethereum network and provides robust economic security through millions of dollars in re-staked ETH. Key advantages of EigenDA include:
- Bandwidth assurance and fixed costs: EigenDA is the only DA solution offering data bandwidth reservation, ensuring Rollups receive guaranteed bandwidth at a fixed cost, meeting enterprise-level and high-throughput scenarios' demands for stable performance.
- Proven performance: EigenDA's performance has been validated in real-world environments. The Eigen team successfully published the real-time chain state of all L1 and L2 blockchains to EigenDA.
The integration of EigenDA V2 will be available as a one-click option in the Caldera control panel for any new Rollup deployment. This streamlined process eliminates the technical complexity traditionally associated with integrating advanced data availability solutions, allowing developers, regardless of infrastructure experience, to access cutting-edge performance.
Existing Caldera chains can also opt to switch to EigenDA V2. This flexibility ensures that all Caldera users can benefit from this collaboration, whether launching new projects or optimizing existing deployments.
Caldera, headquartered in San Francisco, is a leading Rollup infrastructure provider dedicated to helping developers and institutions rapidly deploy and manage high-performance Rollups, driving blockchain scalability and adoption through innovative infrastructure solutions.
