Caldera, the RaaS (Rollups-as-a-Service) platform that powers major blockchains such as Manta Pacific, Injective, Apechain, and Kinto, announced today that it has integrated the SOON stack, which will allow developers to deploy Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) functions on Ethereum Rollup. This integration makes Caldera the first Rollup platform in the Web3 space to support multi-VM.
Caldera’s strategic collaboration with SOON marks a major advancement in blockchain scalability technology, enabling developers to deploy high-performance SVM Rollups alongside traditional EVM Rollups through Caldera’s proven one-click Rollup building platform.
SOONs innovation lies in decoupling the SVM architecture and separating Solanas virtual machine from its consensus layer. This technological breakthrough allows developers to take advantage of the performance of SVM while taking advantage of Ethereum Layer 1 security, thereby unlocking a range of on-chain use cases that were previously impossible due to performance limitations.
Matt Katz, CEO of Caldera, said: “The integration with SOON is the latest step in our efforts to enable an on-chain future where deploying a modular, ultra-fast, application-specific blockchain is as easy as executing an on-chain transaction today. This partnership will enable developers to leverage the performance advantages of the SVM while benefiting from Ethereum’s strong security guarantees. This marks a major step forward for the industry towards democratized, high-performance blockspace access.”
The main benefits of this integration are as follows:
Supports SVM architecture and enhances Rollups transaction processing capabilities;
Flexible multi-virtual machine support allows developers to choose a specific environment based on usage;
Achieve native Ethereum security by integrating a fraud proof system;
One-click deployment process with minimal technical requirements.
In the coming weeks, the two parties will work together to launch the SVM devnet, providing developers with access to test and deploy applications.

About Caldera
Caldera is one of the fastest growing Rollup ecosystems on Ethereum, helping Web3 teams launch high-performance, customized, application-specific Rollups. With over 75 modular Rollups already in its network, Caldera powers an ecosystem of unified Rollups that share collective network effects and enjoy greater efficiency, scalability, and security. Networks such as Manta Pacific, Apechain, Kinto, Injective, RARI Chain, and Zerion’s Zero Network benefit from Caldera’s expert support for its builders and powerful coordination mechanisms. Caldera’s Metalayer is the connective tissue between Rollups in Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, and the ZK stack. As a full-chain, multi-purpose abstraction layer for different Rollup architectures, Metalayer provides connectivity while simplifying the developer experience, enabling Ethereum to achieve internet-level scale. Caldera has raised $25 million from major investors including Founders Fund, Dragonfly, Sequoia Capital and Lattice.
