$ERA — The Token Fueling Ethereum’s Future of Rollups
Caldera’s native token, ERA, is at the heart of its modular vision—enabling gas, staking, and governance across the Metalayer-powered rollup ecosystem.
Token utility:
Used as the gas token across every Caldera-powered rollup, replacing ETH in ecosystem transaction fees.
Validators stake ERA to secure the network, validate cross-chain messages, and play a role in subnets or fraud-proof validation.
Holders participate in on-chain governance, voting on cross-chain upgrades, grant distributions, and security council elections.
Tokenomics & launch highlights:
1 billion max supply, with core allocations for retroactive airdrops (≈30%), team/advisors (≈20%), treasury/investors (≈30%), and ecosystem incentives (≈20%).
Listed on major exchanges via pre-market trading pairs like ERA/USDT, plus a community airdrop distributing ~7% of supply.
Growth indicators:
Powering over 50 live rollups, 750M+ transactions, and TVL between $400M–$800M across 27M+ wallets.
Fundraising backed by elite investors such as Founders Fund, Sequoia, Dragonfly, TrueBridge, and Lattice.
Why it matters: $ERA is not just another token—it’s the economic backbone of the modular Web3 movement. As usage of Caldera rollups expands, demand for ERA’s utility functions—gas, staking, cross-rollup activity, and governance—will likely grow in tandem.
