Caldera (ERA) — is a rollup platform on Ethereum that provides horizontal scaling and interoperability between rollups. Instead of optimizing a single blockchain, Caldera allows projects to launch customized rollups while maintaining the security and decentralization of Ethereum. The platform introduces Metalayer — a unifying layer designed to connect rollups within the Optimistic and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) frameworks. This facilitates coordination, communication, and resource sharing while preserving the unique characteristics of each rollup. The native utility and governance token of Caldera, $ERA, is used for: - Paying transaction fees in Metalayer for cross-rollup interactions. - Staking validator nodes participating in the network. - Making governance decisions regarding protocol updates and treasury fund allocation.
