In Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem, Caldera and its $ERA token stand out not just as another rollup solution, but as the connective tissue Metalayer enabling next gen modular scaling.
Customizable Rollups as a Service
Caldera empowers teams to deploy custom Ethereum Layer‑2 rollups via its Rollup as a Service (RaaS) platform. Builders can choose frameworks like Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, or Polygon CDK, design their own gas tokens, and tailor data availability all with minimal technical overhead.
The Metalayer: Web3’s TCP/IP
Rather than bridging rollups, Caldera offers a native coordination layer the Metalayer that powers seamless cross rollup messaging, unified liquidity, and composable contracts across its ecosystem. It simplifies interoperability while preserving individual rollup independence.
Ecosystem & Metrics
As of mid‑2025, Caldera supports 60+ live rollups, hosts 1.8M+ unique wallets, and holds $550M+ in TVL, processing over 80M transactions. Notable chains built with Caldera include ApeChain, RARI Chain, and Manta Pacific.
ERA Token: Utility, Staking & Governance
The ERA token is the economic core of Caldera. It functions as:
Omnichain gas token across rollups
Stakeable asset for validator participation and intent validation
Governance instrument token holders can propose upgrades, direct treasury allocations, and elect council members via the Caldera DAO.
ERA has a fixed 1B supply, with 7% allocated to retroactive airdrop and the remaining distributed among community, investors, core team, and ecosystem incentives, with multi year vesting to support longevity.
💡 Why Caldera Matters
Caldera transforms rollups from siloed experiments into a programmable ecosystem, lowering barriers for builders and scaling Ethereum horizontally. With modular execution environments, developer first tooling, and built-in cross-chain coordination, it operates less like a provider and more like the operating system for a new internet of blockchains.
Final Thought
@Caldera Official and its ERA token represent a foundational leap toward sovereign, interoperable blockchains. Whether you’re a dApp developer, researcher, or infrastructure strategist, the platform gives you both sovereignty and cohesion. As rollups proliferate, Caldera’s Metalayer may very well become the hidden framework powering Web3’s next era.
