Caldera (ERA): The Modular Integrator of Ethereum's Scaling Ecosystem
Caldera is the leading Rollup as a Service (RaaS) platform for Ethereum, dedicated to solving the fragmentation issue of the Layer2/Layer3 ecosystem. Its core innovation is the Metalayer interoperability layer, which enables cross-chain communication through a decentralized validation network (allowing seamless asset and data flow between Rollups in frameworks such as Arbitrum and Optimism), integrating isolated chains into a unified network while preserving the characteristics of each chain.
The project has deployed over 75 application chains (including Manta Pacific, ApeChain, etc.), with a total locked value (TVL) exceeding $1 billion, processing over 80 million transactions, covering the gaming, DeFi, and AI sectors. The native token ERA (with a total supply of 1 billion) serves both utility and governance functions: it acts as the full-chain Gas token, stakes to secure network safety (with an annualized return of 8-15%), and supports community voting on protocol upgrades.
In July 2025, ERA officially launched through an airdrop (accounting for 7% of the total supply), attracting a large number of users to participate in pre-mining activities. Despite facing cross-chain security testing and regulatory risks, its modular design and one-click deployment capability are still regarded as key infrastructure for Ethereum's scalability #caldrea $ERA @Caldera Official
