Caldera’s goal is to support growing networks by providing a safe automated system to allow growth outside of traditional liquidity pool exchanges. New networks often need to raise significant capital to become listed on traditional exchanges. This creates an unfair hurdle of funding that hurts coins since those resources should be spent elsewhere to benefit development. Caldera offers a safe way to increase the holders of any network without having to tie large amounts of the coins to liquidity pools. Users dictate value. This service further takes a third person out of the equation in completing an OTC trade, making it much safer for every part to complete the transaction that they desire. The transaction fees that Caldera charges cover operational costs and development for the security and peace of mind that we provide.

All you need is a wallet containing the supported currency you would like to exchange, and a wallet for the supported currency you are looking to acquire. Beyond crypto, you simply need a Discord account so that you are able to interact with your fellow traders.

Caldera transaction fees are 2.5% which enable Caldera to absorb Transaction and Network Fees, and promote growing networks. This results in the desired amount stated in the original acceptance of the trade minus the protocol transaction fees (2.5%).

Trading fees are set at 2.5%. This supports the protocol to run safely and smoothly at all times. We are working hard to provide benefits back to the communities that you are building and supporting.

The trade process is a pair of transactions through each network that is being swapped. The entire trade process should take slightly longer than twice the normal time of the network with the longest trade confirmation time.

For example, if Bitcoin typically takes 10 minutes for a complete confirmation of a transaction, then you should expect to see the final funds in 20 minutes; in contrast, Kaspa takes 20 seconds. Both of the incoming currencies need to be confirmed for the protocol to start the next set of transactions. This is to ensure the process is both smooth and secure.

Currently we have transaction minimums in order for our 2.5% fee to cover all transaction and gas costs:

BTC: 0.005
BTSC: 5,000
ETH: 0.1
GEC: 5,000
KAS: 250
LTC: 0.05
LTRM: 5,000
SKY: 50,000
SPACE: 1
TRX: 50
USDC (ERC-20): 150
USDT (ERC-20): 150
USDC (TRC-20): 35
USDT (TRC-20): 80

In case of a network going down in the middle of the trade, or the bot running into an issue, we temporarily store required information for the trade (User Identifiers, Wallet Addresses, Crypto Names & Amounts) privately and securely. This allows support to intervene in the rare case of an unforeseen issue. After a trade is complete, the data is set to be deleted after 7 days.

We support Bitcoin (BTC), Bitfishcoin (BTSC), Ethereum (ETH), Geckocoin (GEC), Kaspa (KAS), Litecoin (LTC), Litoreum (LTRM), Skydoge (SKY), USD Coin (USDC), and Tether (USDT).

There are many more networks in progress, and we are always looking for what networks our community would like added! Want your coin added here? Contact us in our discord, or just come and talk about some new innovative gems on the rise.

In the Caldera Discord Server, link below, we have a SUGGESTIONS forum that allows users to suggest their favorite networks that they would like to be a part of our network. If you are a part of a team that would like to be added, come talk to us directly and we will work to get your coin added as quickly as we can. Empowering the individual and the community is the biggest innovation we are seeing from crypto, and we want to foster that belief by being available for every network, no matter how new or small.
