@Caldera Official

Objective

• To become a high-performance blockchain platform with low transaction fees, friendly to developers and end-users.

• Support DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi… with an EVM-compatible mechanism for easy “porting” of applications from Ethereum/BNB Smart Chain to $ERA

Architecture & Technology

• Built on Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) with a maximum of 21 official validators.

• Block time ~2 seconds, processing speed about 2,000 TPS (testnet).

• EVM-compatible chain → smart contracts written in Solidity/Vyper, Remix, Hardhat tools… can all be used.

• Native token: ERA (serves as payment, stake, governance).#caldera

Ecosystem

• The official wallet is Super Wallet (also developed by Ninety Eight).

• The first projects include DEX (temporarily named “EraSwap”), cross-chain bridge,…

• The Vietnamese developer community is quite large, so many local projects will prioritize deploying on Era first.

Roadmap (updated 7/2025)

• 2024: Launch testnet, run bug bounty & hackathon programs.

• Q2/2025: Mainnet beta (called “Era Network Mainnet Phase 1”) – staking not open to the public yet, only selected validators.

• Q3/2025 (tentative): Phase 2 – open staking & governance for the community.

• 2026: Implement improvements on sharding and data availability layer.

How to Experience

• Add Era Network to your wallet:

– Chain ID: 5555

– RPC: https://mainnet.era.network

– Symbol: ERA

– Block explorer: https://explorer.era.network

• Need to bridge tokens (from BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum) through the official bridge at bridge.era.network.

In summary, “Era network” is currently used to refer to the Era blockchain – a new Layer-1 chain developed by Vietnamese, focusing on ease of use, low cost, and EVM support.
