Caldera launches Guardian Nodes, creating a new path for teams to raise funds and decentralize their network

The Background

At this time, the vast majority of L1 blockchains function utilizing a proof-of-stake mannequin, the place a sequence’s members are incentivized through community rewards to lend their stake and validate the chain.

This incentive construction fosters decentralization by encouraging particular person stakers to function sincere validators, whereas punishing those that don’t, making for a particularly excessive value to assault a community and compromise its safety.

Decentralizing Rollups

EVM rollups have all however solved the scalability drawback, with L2s and L3s on Ethereum enabling just about infinite scale. However, there’s nonetheless no incentive for sincere community members to observe these rollups.

Caldera’s Guardian Nodes enable groups to decentralize their rollups by enabling customers to confirm blocks and safe the community in change for rewards. Underneath the hood, that is completed by introducing a novel “mild verifier” to Arbitrum rollups that permits Guardian Node operators to confirm Nitro batches on on a regular basis {hardware} with no need to run a full node.

Groups can launch Guardian Nodes to their customers by way of a “Node Sale”, which distributes “keys” that authenticate a node’s eligibility to submit claims and earn rewards, granting purchasers the power to function a Guardian Node on a given rollup.

HYCHAIN, the primary staff to leverage this technique, raised over $8m throughout 16,000+ node keys in simply 2 weeks, fully supercharging their group whereas producing vital income for his or her mission.

By enabling extra events to observe over a rollup and determine malicious conduct, the community’s safety grows extra strong— an important step to establishing belief within the chain’s correctness. This in flip generates extra demand for a rollup’s native token, which is required for customers to take part in validation and helps present sensible cryptoeconomic safety for the community.

Guardians Nodes are one other notch within the belt of Caldera’s spectacular infrastructure resolution. With the success of HYCHAIN’s launch, we count on extra groups constructing rollups to leverage this progressive product within the coming months.
