The network of #Caldera can operate smoothly thanks to the active participation of validation nodes. Nodes are not only responsible for validating transactions but also play a core role in cross-Rollup data synchronization. $ERA is the central part of the node economic system: nodes must stake $ERA to qualify for participation, while also collecting cross-chain operation fees as rewards.

This design tightly binds economic incentives with network security, naturally encouraging nodes to maintain system stability. @Caldera Official has implemented fine-tuning in node economic design to ensure the network remains safe and efficient under varying levels of Rollup activity. The Metalayer of #Caldera is not just a bridge connecting Rollups but also a highly coupled operational platform for node behavior and token economics.

The value logic of $ERA lies in its direct link to ecological activity and node participation. Every time an active Rollup is added or the complexity of cross-chain operations increases, the usage frequency of ERA rises, creating positive feedback. The continuous optimization and ecological construction of @Caldera Official ensure that the network of #Caldera is not only technologically advanced but also possesses long-term economic sustainability. The node economic system of #Caldera demonstrates the core value of ERA as it is the driving force that powers the smooth operation of the entire cross-chain collaboration ecosystem.
