🚀 Caldera ($ERA ): Powering the Future of Rollups
🔔 Big Updates:
Caldera’s native token, ERA, is making waves with fresh listings on top-tier platforms:
Coinbase has integrated ERA as an ERC‑20 token on Ethereum. Although labeled “Experimental” for now, this sets the stage for deeper liquidity and exposure.
Binance introduced ERA via a HODLer Airdrop, distributing nearly 20 million tokens to BNB Simple Earn participants. Full spot trading launched July 17 with active pairs including USDT, BNB, USDC, FDUSD, and TRY.
📊 Market Reaction:
Within hours of the listings, ERA surged by 80%–121%, spiking close to $2 before pulling back to the $1.50–$1.88 range.
Expect heightened volatility as the airdrop claim window (ends July 31) influences both buying and selling pressures.

Serves as a universal gas token for transactions across multiple rollups.
Enables staking, network security, and validator participation.
