Caldera is a next-gen Rollup-as-a-Service platform designed to help developers launch fast, scalable, and customizable Layer-2 blockchains. At the center of this ecosystem is the ERA token, which powers everything from gas fees to governance.
Caldera makes it easy for projects to launch their own rollups using frameworks like Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Polygon CDK. These rollups are all connected through a shared Metalayer, enabling seamless cross-chain communication and liquidity sharing between apps.
The ERA token plays multiple roles:
It’s used as omnichain gas for transactions across all Caldera-powered rollups
Validators stake ERA to secure the Metalayer and ensure interoperability.
Token holders can vote on governance proposals, protocol upgrades, and treasury allocations
Caldera is already powering rollups for DeFi, gaming, and NFT ecosystems—supporting millions of wallets and hundreds of dApps. Its focus on modularity, scalability, and user-friendly infrastructure is reshaping how Web3 applications are built and connected.
As the demand for application-specific chains grows, Caldera and the ERA token are positioned at the core of a highly composable, multi-chain future.
