@Caldera Official $ERA – The new “darling” of Ethereum Layer 2

In the context of Ethereum facing network congestion and high gas fees, Layer 2 scaling solutions are gaining more attention. Prominently among them, Caldera is becoming the new “darling” of the community thanks to its flexible and groundbreaking Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) approach.

Launched in 2022, Caldera allows developers to deploy custom rollups in just a few minutes, without the need to build complex infrastructure like nodes, sequencers, bridges, or block explorers. The platform supports many leading frameworks like Arbitrum Nitro, Optimism Bedrock, zkSync ZK Stack, and Polygon CDK, catering to a diverse range of needs from DeFi, gaming to custom appchains for enterprises.

The biggest highlight of Caldera is Metalayer – the cross-chain interaction layer integrated by default into every rollup. Metalayer allows these blockchains to share data, liquidity, and assets smoothly, minimizing reliance on complex bridges. This technology leverages intent-based bridging along with partners like Across, Relay, Eco, and the fast messaging system Hyperlane, providing an almost instant cross-chain experience.

At the center of the ecosystem is the token $ERA with a total supply of 1 billion. ERA serves both as a utility token (for gas fees, staking) and as a governance role, while also being a tool to incentivize the community to develop rollups. Caldera prioritizes distributing about 30% for community airdrops and early contributors. ERA is officially listed in mid-July 2025 and quickly garners significant market interest.

Currently, Caldera $ERA has supported over 100 rollups, attracting millions of users and achieving a TVL of 400–600 million USD on chains built through the platform

With rapid deployment capabilities, deep customization, seamless connectivity, and a growing community, Caldera is not just a new Layer 2 but is also shaping the future of modular blockchain – where every application can operate its own chain while still being tightly integrated into a globally expanding network.
