Recently, discussions about ERA in the cryptocurrency space have started to heat up.
In this industry, every so often, new "narratives" emerge. LSD, Restaking, AI, RWA, and now ERA—are these just buzzwords or will they become opportunities in the next cycle?
What is ERA?
Broadly speaking, ERA signifies a new phase, a new era.
Many projects package “ERA” as a concept, claiming to be the beginning of a new on-chain ecosystem, zero-knowledge technology, and Layer2 expansion.
For example:
• zkSync names its second layer zkSync Era, emphasizing affordability, speed, and EVM compatibility.
• Some emerging projects have directly issued a coin called ERA Token, focusing on high-yield staking and community-driven initiatives.
Where are the opportunities?
• If ERA truly represents a new explosion of Layer2 users, it could indeed nurture new DEX, NFT, and blockchain gaming ecosystem opportunities.
• The airdrop effect of the zkSync Era ecosystem has made many people start to pay attention to ERA-related assets.
• Some emerging ERA tokens have low liquidity and are prone to price volatility, making it easy for short-term funds to enter and exit.
Where are the risks?
• Currently, many coins branded with the “ERA” concept are actually Ponzi schemes or worthless tokens.
• There are no truly valuable Layer2 ecosystems that have emerged yet; ERA feels more like an emotional hype.
• Tokens that are not listed on mainstream exchanges, with opaque contracts, can easily be dumped or exit scammed.
Conclusion:
Is ERA the beginning of a new era, or is it just a script for the next round of harvesting retail investors?
It largely depends on which side you stand:
• If you are a tech-savvy player, you can focus on the real application developments within the zkSync Era ecosystem;
• If you are a speculative player, it is advisable to strictly manage profit-taking and stop-loss to avoid being the last one holding the bag;
• If you are a novice player, don’t FOMO easily; understand first before you enter.
