Clearpool develops Caldera-powered Layer 2 chain within Optimism ecosystem
Quick Take
- Clearpool is developing Ozean, a Layer 2 blockchain operating within the Optimism ecosystem.
- Ozean is based on OP Stack and developed using Caldera’s rollup-as-a-service platform.
The undercollateralized lending marketplace Clearpool is working on Ozean — a Layer 2 blockchain that will be part of the Optimism ecosystem.
Ozean is built on the OP Stack and will contribute some of its revenue to the Optimism Collective. It is powered by Caldera’s rollup-as-a-service platform.
The blockchain plans to integrate real-world assets into DeFi in a compliant offering that provides native on-chain yield through a new staking mechanism using the CPOOL token.
Clearpool competes in the real-world asset niche, aiming to target institutional players — alongside projects such as Ondo, Centrifuge, Goldfinch, Maple, and others.
Clearpool has also introduced a stablecoin, USDX, and a yield-bearing stablecoin, ozUSD, to facilitate an automatic yield-rebasing asset that passes rewards directly to users. The platform has a total value locked of about $24.5 million across Flare, Ethereum, and Optimism.
