Don't you feel like Ethereum is a super popular large apartment? All applications are crammed into one space, and during peak hours (network congestion), it can drive you crazy. Caldera (ERA) has done something smart: it added N 'independent rooms' (custom Rollups) to this large Ethereum apartment, and built a 'metal corridor' (Metalayer) in the middle to retain Ethereum's security system while allowing each room to freely visit each other, unobtrusive yet able to collaborate at any time ✨

🏗️ Not just 'dividing rooms', but creating exclusive spaces for each project.

Ordinary Rollups are like standardized rental apartments, while Caldera allows projects to 'renovate' according to their own needs: want it faster? Choose the optimistic Rollup framework; want more privacy? Go for the zero-knowledge Rollup structure. Regardless of the choice, they are firmly anchored to Ethereum's security system, equivalent to 'custom apartments with built-in security' 🛡️

Recently, while studying the scalability solutions of various public chains, I found that this 'customization + interconnectivity' approach particularly addresses pain points. For instance, a DeFi project may need high-frequency trading, while an NFT platform may need complex rendering. They can each occupy a Rollup room, transmitting data in real-time through the Metalayer corridor, without having to squeeze on the mainnet for packaging anymore ⏩

🌉 Metalayer: The 'shared elevator + delivery locker' for Rollups

This innovative unified layer is the soul:

1️⃣ Like a shared elevator: allowing assets and data in different Rollups to travel vertically/horizontally, cross-summary interactions no longer need to take a detour.

2️⃣ Like smart delivery lockers: all cross-chain needs are processed here first, ensuring efficiency while reducing security risks.

Imagine: you buy an NFT in Rollup A, and it is sent directly to a game in Rollup B through the Metalayer, all completed in seconds. Previously, this would have required several cross-chain confirmations, and the transaction fees would be ridiculously high 💸

🔑 ERA token: Corridor pass + Apartment management voting rights

The native token ERA is more than just a 'property fee':

1️⃣ Pay transaction fees in the Metalayer corridor using this.

2️⃣ Want to be the 'corridor manager' (validator node)? Stake it to get started.

3️⃣ Want to add new facilities to the apartment (protocol upgrade)? Token holders vote to decide.

I always feel that Ethereum's scalability in the future shouldn't be 'a single road to darkness', but rather 'multiple small roads lead to Rome'. Caldera's 'divide but not scatter' model caters to the personalized needs of projects without losing Ethereum's fundamental advantages, which might just be the key to unlocking large-scale applications 🔑
