The blockchain industry is shifting from 'single-chain competition' to 'multi-chain collaboration,' and Caldera plays a key role in this trend. Through its unique Metalayer technology, it does not simply bridge different chains but constructs a 'scheduling layer' that allows all Rollups to collaborate efficiently.
As the core fuel of this ecosystem, $ERA token (currently priced at about $0.95) performs three key functions:
1. Cross-chain transaction lubricant, paying for communication and settlement fees between chains
2. Network governance credential, holders participate in protocol upgrade decisions
3. Ecological incentive carrier, rewarding validators and liquidity providers
If Caldera can achieve its technical roadmap, the demand for ERA will show a stepwise growth as the number of connected Rollups increases
Short-term (1 year): Depends on the implementation of the testnet, may reach the $2-3 range @Caldera Official #Caldera
