Why is now the best time to lay out #Caldera ?
There is still a window period before the ERA airdrop pre-claim deadline (July 17, 2025), and the accelerated expansion of the @Caldera Official ecosystem is turning this opportunity into a key node for participating in the Layer 2 infrastructure dividend. Understanding the multiple value dimensions of ERA is essential to see its long-term potential.
The 70 million ERA (7% of the total supply) from the @Caldera Official airdrop is not just a simple benefit, but a strategic layout for the ecosystem's cold start—early users obtain tokens through the test network and community contributions, becoming both ecosystem participants and value disseminators. Currently, over 100,000 users have completed their claims, and with the upgrade of Metalayer's cross-chain functionality, these ERAs will soon play a role in a multi-chain environment: paying cross-chain gas, participating in validator node staking, and voting on ecosystem proposals. #caldera
The core logic of the current layout lies in the "value gap": the circulation scenario of $ERA is still in its initial stage. As more Rollups go live, staking functions are activated, and governance mechanisms are improved, its demand will experience a step-wise increase. Similar to the evolution from the early ETH gas fee scenario to governance scenarios, $ERA is replicating this value leap path, and the airdrop window is the best time for low-cost participation.
