#Caldera ($ERA ) emerges as a fundamental pillar for the scalability of Ethereum, offering Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS). It enables the creation of custom rollups (L2/L3) with frameworks such as Optimism and Arbitrum. Its Metalayer is a game changer, connecting rollups to share liquidity and communication, eradicating fragmentation.
After its launch in July 2025, ERA, despite its post-launch volatility ($1.33; -26% in 24h), has a clear utility: payment of gas fees, staking, and governance. Backed by Sequoia, and with over 100 active chains, Caldera aims to be the "AWS of rollups". The key to its success lies in the adoption of the Metalayer and its progressive decentralization.
