Unlocking the Power of Guardian Nodes: A New Way to Decentralize Networks and Raise Funds
Caldera Launches Guardian Nodes to Decentralize Networks and Raise Funds
Caldera has introduced Guardian Nodes, a production-ready system that allows network users to verify rollup blocks and earn rewards.
The innovative 'light verifier' technology incentivizes honest network participants to monitor rollups, fostering decentralization and enhancing network security.
Teams like HYCHAIN have already raised substantial funds through this system, showcasing its potential to revolutionize network operations and crypto economics.
- Caldera powers over fifty EVM rollups, securing ~$1B in total value locked.
- Guardian Nodes enable users to verify blocks and secure the network in exchange for rewards.
- The system introduces a novel 'light verifier' technology to incentivize network participants.
Decentralizing Rollups
EVM rollups have significantly improved scalability, but there is still a lack of incentive for honest participants to monitor them. Caldera's Guardian Nodes address this challenge by allowing teams to decentralize their rollups and enhance network security.
HYCHAIN's Success Story
HYCHAIN, the first team to leverage Guardian Nodes, raised over $8 million through their node sale, demonstrating the system's potential to generate substantial revenue. By empowering more parties to oversee rollups, network security is strengthened, fostering trust in the network's operations.
