This week, the most talked-about phrase in the L2 community is: 'The future cross-chain bridge is not on the bridge, but inside the chain.' The logic behind this is essentially what ERA is doing—enabling natural interoperability between different Rollups.
The ERA platform launched by Caldera allows you to quickly deploy dedicated Rollups while retaining the security and decentralization features of Ethereum. The biggest highlight is the Metalayer technology, which unifies Rollups of different frameworks into an interoperability layer, supporting cross-Rollup messaging, asset sharing, and functional collaboration. In simple terms, it establishes communication at the chain level, eliminating reliance on third-party cross-chain bridges, significantly reducing trust costs and security risks.
The $ERA token not only serves as a medium for transaction fees but can also be used for staking nodes and participating in governance decisions. As the number of Layer 2 solutions surges and applications become more fragmented, interoperability will become a core necessity. As more projects migrate into the ERA ecosystem, Metalayer is likely to become the 'highway hub' of the multi-Rollup era.
