Caldera, the team behind $ERA , is building a Rollup-as-a-Service platform designed to make launching custom, high-performance rollups on Ethereum as simple as setting up a cloud app. At its core are two main components:
Rollup Engine — lets developers spin up and manage rollups in just a few clicks or through APIs.
Metalayer — connects all deployed rollups, enabling liquidity sharing, seamless messaging, and fast bridging between them.
Ethereum’s scaling largely depends on rollups, but most operate in isolation. Caldera solves this by allowing each rollup to be fully customized while still being part of a unified ecosystem through the Metalayer. That means faster transactions, lower costs, better liquidity, and a smoother user experience.
The ecosystem is already thriving, with 60+ active rollups across DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and social apps. Examples include:
Manta Pacific — modular Layer-2 for ZK applications.
ApeChain — fast NFT and gaming-focused chain for the ApeCoin ecosystem.
inEVM (Injective) — bringing EVM compatibility to Injective.
Era is the fuel of the network, used for gas fees, staking, securing the network, and governance decisions. With a 1B max supply, 1.8M user wallets, $550M TVL, and over 80M transactions, the growth is clear.
Currently priced around $1.09 with a market cap of $160M+, $ERA hit an ATH of $1.73 in July 2025. Trading volume and liquidity are climbing fast, signaling strong momentum.
Caldera isn’t just another scaling solution — it’s aiming to unify Ethereum’s fragmented rollup landscape, making it easier for developers to build and users to interact across chains. If it keeps this pace, $ERA could be one of the standout projects in Ethereum’s next growth wave.
