GenLayer and Caldera Partner to Power AI-Native Rollups with Intelligent Consensus

San Francisco, CA | May 20, 2025 – GenLayer, the trust infrastructure for the AI age, today announced a strategic partnership with Caldera, a leading rollup infrastructure provider. This collaboration brings GenLayer’s groundbreaking Intelligent Contracts and AI-powered consensus to the Caldera ecosystem, enabling every Caldera rollup to seamlessly integrate decentralized AI decision-making.

Through this partnership, the GenLayer chain will deploy on Caldera’s production-ready rollup framework, gaining high-throughput performance, low fees, and flexible scalability. In parallel, all existing and future Caldera rollups gain native access to GenLayer’s Optimistic Democracy consensus, a decentralized mechanism where validators, each connected to distinct AI models, reach trustless agreement on complex, non-deterministic operations.

“We’re excited to launch GenLayer on Caldera’s high-performance rollup infrastructure,” said Albert Castellana Lluis, Co-Founder & CEO of GenLayer. “This integration gives GenLayer the throughput needed for real-world AI applications, while also allowing every Caldera chain to plug into our decentralized intelligence layer, enabling on-chain logic that understands natural language, reads web data, and makes subjective decisions.”

Unlocking a New Class of AI-Enabled dApps

By combining Caldera’s secure, scalable rollups with GenLayer’s Intelligent Contracts, developers can now deploy applications with capabilities far beyond traditional smart contracts:

• AI-Powered Arbitration: Resolve disputes and enforce complex logic using AI models, not human intermediaries.
• Real-Time Insurance Payouts: Trigger settlements based on live event monitoring and web-sourced data.
• Autonomous DAOs & Agents: Enable decentralized organizations and AI agents to adapt in real time to new information.
• Dynamic Oracles: Replace static data feeds with LLM-driven oracles capable of subjective reasoning and natural language interpretation.
  

Key Benefits of the Partnership

• Native AI Consensus: Every Caldera rollup can now access GenLayer’s Optimistic Democracy, consensus secured by LLM-powered validators that evaluate outputs based on real-world context.
• Scalable Infrastructure: GenLayer’s AI-native chain gains scalability, low latency, and enterprise-ready reliability by building on Caldera’s robust rollup architecture.
• Seamless Integration: Caldera-based apps can directly call GenLayer contracts and APIs to trigger AI-based decision-making, without needing bridges or custom infrastructure.
• Developer-Ready Environments: Structured deployment workflows with dev/staging/production chains help teams safely test and scale complex AI-integrated applications.

“Our mission at Caldera is to empower developers to launch scalable, customizable blockchains in minutes,” said Matt Katz, CEO of Caldera. “By integrating with GenLayer, we’re enabling rollups to go beyond computation into cognition. This is a major step toward enabling truly intelligent, autonomous blockchain applications.”
