RA)

Caldera (ERA) is an aggregation platform on the Ethereum network that allows for horizontal scalability and interoperability between aggregations. Instead of optimizing a single blockchain, Caldera enables projects to launch custom aggregations while maintaining the security and decentralization of Ethereum. The platform provides a Metalayer, a unified layer designed to connect aggregations across Optimistic and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) frameworks. This allows for coordination, communication, and resource sharing while preserving the unique features of each aggregation. The native service and governance token of the Caldera platform, $ERA, is used: - To pay transaction fees within the Metalayer for interactions across aggregations. - Staking for validators participating in the network. - Governance decisions regarding protocol upgrades and treasury distributions.
