We’re incredibly excited about the potential that Caldera’s appchains have for Web3 Gaming, by making it easy to launch performant, customizable Arbitrum Orbit and OP Stack rollups with no code, and are thrilled to together power the next generation of Gaming on Web3.

Partnership Details

Starting today, game developers building on a Caldera chain will be able to integrate Halliday Smart Accounts to facilitate onboarding and monetization, and to engage and retain their users with exciting new gameplay features.

“At its core, our goal for Caldera is to offer smooth, Web2-like experiences for both developers and their end-users, and Halliday’s smart accounts undoubtedly help us towards this goal. That coupled with our belief in on-chain gaming makes us incredibly excited to partner with Halliday and offer their suite of developer tools to our users”

Together, Caldera and Halliday will be able to offer developers massively scalable infrastructure with which to launch their game and delight their player base.
