$ERA Token: The 'Fuel' and 'Governance Rights' of Ecological Operations

The core that drives this complex system is the native token of @Caldera Official , $ERA (total supply of 1 billion tokens). It is not only the value hub of the network but also the link of interest connecting developers, validators, and community users.

1. Payment and Staking: The 'Economic Foundation' Supporting Network Operations

Users can participate in Metalayer bridge validation (ensuring the security and accuracy of cross-chain transactions) by staking $ERA, or pay for the bridging fees of Metalayer (for example, transferring assets from one Rollup to another); validators maintain network consensus by staking $ERA and earn corresponding rewards. This mechanism incentivizes more participants to join and ensures the stable operation of the network.

2. Governance Rights: Allowing the Community to Decide the Future of the Ecosystem

Token holders can participate in protocol upgrade voting (for example, deciding which new Rollup technology stacks to support in the future, adjusting Gas fee rules) by staking $ERA, or propose suggestions regarding Metalayer's fee model and cross-chain standards. This community-driven governance model ensures that the development direction of #Caldera always aligns with user needs.
