Huge announcement about FutureX 📢
If you want to join the FutureX Discord, an exclusive invite-only discord group of investors, builders, founders in the space, please reach out on Twitter / Linkedin
Also, have been developing the FutureX website for sometime, and it’s almost ready to launch 🔥
Today we are talking about 👇
Caldera
What is Caldera (previously Constellation) building?
Building solutions for deploying app rollups in one click
Caldera is a blockchain technology company that builds high-performance, customizable, and application-specific layer-two blockchains.
These custom chains offer the following:
high throughput
low latency
customizable features for optimizing performance and user experience
ability to process hundreds of transactions
How does Constellation do it?
They build "Constellation Chains" which are custom-built optimistic rollups. These rollups are
Fast
Highly customizable
Ethereum Compatible
Using Caldera
Next, let's explore how you can create and deploy a constellation chain 👇
→ Creating a chain
Four simple steps 👇
connect with the team to discuss the configurations and integrations
deploy your app's contracts on your chain
configure block explorer and bridge UI
when ready, deploy on mainnet
→ Deploying on a constellation chain
The process for deploying and interacting with any Constellation chain is similar to how you would interact with an EVM-compatible chain like @ethereum , @0xPolygon
→ Updating the client side to interact with Constellation
can also be done quickly by simply changing the JSON-RPC Url used to that of the Constellation chain. Let's explore the developer environments & libraries supported by Constellation 👇
→ Developer Environments
Hardhat
Foundry
Remix
→ Libraries
Ether.js
Web3.js
ChainSafe Gaming SDK
Core features
→ EVM Compatibility
→ Fast Confirmations
→ Block explorer
→ High-level API
→ JSON-RPC
→ ERC20 Fee Payment
EVM Compatibility
Constellation chains are fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which means they can run standard Ethereum smart contract code without modification.
Fast Confirmations
Constellation chains can confirm transactions near-instantly.
Transactions sent locally (i.e., without network latency) are confirmed in under ten milliseconds.
Block Explorer
With the help of the explorer, a user can view the following:
address balances
transaction history
verified contracts
change themes
High-level API
The explorer exposes high-level GraphQL and HTTP APIs for common blockchain queries such as:
List of tokens owned by an address
List of holders of a given token or NFT collection
Source code of verified contracts
JSON-RPC
It helps provide compatibility with client libraries, such as Ethers.js, Web3.js, http://Web3.py, go's web3 library
ERC20 Fee Payment
Unlike other Optimistic rollups, Constellation rollups allow transaction fees to be paid in a given ERC20 token
This feature can give additional utility to a project's utility or governance token.
Creating roll-ups is as easy as clicking one button.
Team
The team comes from a rich background, including studying at universities like @Stanford, @umich and working at companies like @coinbase, @immutable, @CeloOrg
Team includes:
Investors
They are backed by some of the biggest VCs in the world, including @sequoia and Neo
Partnerships & Collaborations
@0xcurio
Curio, a fully-on-chain real-time-strategy game, deployed its alpha on a Constellation blockchain.
Moonstreamto
They are building the economic infrastructure for web3 games.
And they are partnering with Constellation to test out their technology in the gaming ecosystem
Super excited about the work being done by the team and looking forward to supporting them in any way possible - looking forward to getting more involved!
