Caldera ($ERA) — Rollup-as-a-Service Powering Modular Ethereum Scaling
Caldera isn't your average Layer‑2 — it’s a full-stack Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform enabling developers to deploy custom rollups in minutes, complete with security, bridges, explorer tools, and data infrastructure .
🔧 What Sets Caldera Apart:
One‑click deployment for Ethereum rollups using leading frameworks (Arbitrum Nitro, OP Stack, zkSync’s ZK Stack, Polygon CDK)
Metalayer protocol seamlessly connects separate rollups, enabling liquidity flow and cross-chain interoperability while preserving scalability
🌱 Ecosystem by Mid‑2025:
Over 50 live rollups, including ApeChain and Manta Pacific
Network with millions of wallets and hundreds of millions in TVL
High on-chain activity driven by modular and performant rollups across diverse use cases
💡 Token Utility:
$ERA is used for gas fees within each rollup, staking/validation, and governance voting via the Metalayer protocol
Initial supply: 1 billion tokens, with under 15% circulating at launch—encouraging scarcity dynamics
📈 Price & Future Outlook:
ERA debuted mid-July 2025 on major exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase), jumped 80–110% intraday to ~$1.80 ATH, and has since entered a consolidation phase around $1.10–$1.40
Price projections through 2030 range from $4 to $15+, assuming Caldera leads modular Ethereum infrastructure growth.
