Caldera is doing something very practical: transforming the blockchain world from "going it alone" to "collaborative win-win". It is not about making a single chain stronger, but rather enabling many chains to collaborate efficiently.
The key to this system is called Metalayer. It is neither a bridge nor an intermediary, but a "coordinating layer" that enables all Rollups to work together. And ERA is the token that drives the operation of this entire system.
Whether it's transaction communication, synchronization between chains, or participating in network governance, it all relies on ERA. The current price is still around $0.95, in a very early stage of value discovery.
Once this cross-chain collaboration system is up and running, the demand for ERA will rise rapidly. By the end of the year, it is expected to reach $2.7 to $3, which is a repricing of its value in the ecosystem.
