$ERA vs ETH & MATIC:
ERA isn’t just another gas token — it’s omnichain, versatile,and ecosystem-powered. While ETH and MATIC function primarily as gas for their own chains, ERA takes it several steps further:
1. Omnichain Utility: ERA works across multiple rollups on Caldera’s Metalayer. Users can pay transaction fees, interact with dApps, and move assets across rollups without needing separate tokens for each chain.
2. Governance & Staking: Unlike ETH or MATIC, ERA doubles as a governance token and a staking asset. Holders actively participate in decision-making and network security, creating more intrinsic value.
3. Rollup Deployment: ERA is required for deploying custom rollups on Caldera. This adds a developer-driven demand, which is something ETH and MATIC don’t natively provide.
4. Predictable Costs Across Chains: With $ERA, transaction fees become more consistent and predictable, even as traffic fluctuates across multiple rollups.
In short, $ERA isn’t just a gas token — it’s the engine that powers Caldera’s entire ecosystem, making it more versatile, valuable, and future-ready than single-chain alternatives.
