Caldera (ERA) Introduction

Caldera is a modular Rollup deployment platform that allows developers to launch high-performance, customizable dedicated Layer 2 blockchains (Rollup chains) with one click through visual tools. It supports mainstream frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro and Optimism Bedrock, significantly lowering development barriers and optimizing transaction efficiency. Its core features include:

1. High-performance architecture: By optimizing the execution layer, settlement layer, and data availability layer (DA), it achieves hundreds of transactions per second and sub-second confirmations, reducing Gas costs.

2. Cross-chain interoperability: Built-in standardized protocols support seamless asset interaction with over 50 public chains, including Ethereum and Polygon, breaking liquidity islands.

3. Metalayer ecosystem integration: Build a unified interconnection layer that connects decentralized Rollup chains, with over 60 live chains deployed and a total locked value (TVL) of 800 million USD, serving over 1.7 million users.

**Native Token ERA** (Total supply of 1 billion) is used to pay transaction fees, cross-chain verification staking, and community governance. 7% of the tokens are airdropped to ecosystem participants, and 2% are distributed through Binance HODLer activities [1,4,6](@ref). The project received investments from **Dragonfly, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund**, with total financing of 24 million USD, and its technological strength and ecosystem scale are highly recognized by the market [1,2,3](@ref). After launching on Binance on July 17, 2025, the ERA price skyrocketed by 216 times, with a market cap exceeding 119 million USD, becoming a new benchmark in the Layer 2 sector.
