If I just graduated today, without money, resources, or background, but want to do something of my own.
In the past, I might have:
• Start a public account, create short videos, take freelance jobs, be a freelancer;
• Or get caught up in big companies, chase KPIs, and face the 35-year crisis...
But if it were now, knowing about Caldera, I would do one thing:
Launch a company directly on-chain, create your own chain, an open-source application, and get started!
Don't laugh, I'm serious.
🏗 Caldera = Entrepreneurship platform + Network infrastructure + Incentive network
If you haven't heard of Caldera, let me explain briefly:
It's neither a project nor a specific Rollup chain.
It is a complete 'on-chain entrepreneurship system'.
You can do it here:
• Launch a chain in 3 minutes: No need to understand the architecture, just click on modules to deploy;
• Naturally connect to traffic: Caldera's Metalayer will link you into a multi-chain collaboration network;
• Users can seamlessly transfer assets from other chains to your chain;
• Have a native income model: Gain traffic/use incentives/governance rights through ERA.
Isn't this the combination of 'Shopify + Stripe + AWS' on-chain?
💡 So why do I say to 'start a company on-chain'?
Because Caldera makes everything low-cost + composable + collaborative.
You are no longer:
• Launch a DApp on a chain while being 'under someone else's roof';
• Harvested by platform rules, commissions, and traffic restrictions;
But instead, you can:
• Define the rules, Gas, and incentive mechanisms of your own chain;
• Attach data and assets from other chains within the Caldera ecosystem;
• Collect transaction fees and voting rights from ERA settlements to reinvest in your project;
You are not a developer; you are a builder in this chain universe, part of the system.
🪙 ERA is the 'on-chain settlement and governance token' in this system.
ERA is not a tool for speculation; rather, it is:
• Communication costs between chains;
• Your qualification ticket to connect to Caldera;
• Data priority and traffic channel weight anchors in the network;
In simple terms:
If you want to make the 'company operate' well, you need to understand how to use ERA to allocate resources.
Instead of staring at the coin price every day and shouting: 'Can ERA go up?'
🎓 Why is this particularly suitable for recent graduates/young developers?
Because we didn't have big funds, background, or connections from the very beginning.
But Caldera gives you:
• Open permissioned on-chain entrepreneurship tools;
• Connect to user resources in the ecosystem;
• Clear value capture methods (ERA);
You just need to have an idea, some code, and a bit of passion.
You can throw a chain, a type of gameplay, or a model up and let it run.
Isn't this more promising than writing PPTs, pulling in VCs, adjusting KPIs, and changing jobs?
🎯 Leave a question:
If you just graduated today, have time, passion, and know how to code,
Will you try to 'build your own system' on-chain, or continue to hustle KOLs in others' apps?
