Decoding the Future of Layer2: What Makes Caldera's Era Ecosystem the 'Framework'

The total TVL of Layer2 has surpassed $15 billion, and cross-chain demand has surged, yet the 'slow, expensive, and security risks' of traditional cross-chain bridges have become pain points in the industry. Against this backdrop, the Era ecosystem created by @Caldera Official , with its innovative positioning as the 'Layer2 Framework', points to a new direction for industry development, and #caldera has gradually become an innovative benchmark in the Layer2 field.

The core competitiveness of the Era ecosystem lies in its interconnected network design: it does not create a single Rollup, but allows multiple Rollups to achieve state sharing and message communication within the same ecosystem. Developers can share SDKs and account systems, significantly reducing the difficulty for operators to aggregate communities, and early cooperation projects have reported a significant increase in integration efficiency. Compared to traditional cross-chain bridges that can only transfer assets, the Era ecosystem also supports data transmission and contract invocation, covering a more comprehensive range of functions. For different types of Rollups, it discards generic adaptation solutions, optimizing specifically for ZK-Rollups and Optimistic Rollups, and can even perfectly accommodate the unique architecture of StarkNet. $ERA tokens, as the core value of the ecosystem, see an increase in transaction fee destruction and a simultaneous growth in node staking demand as network activity increases. Currently, some projects have begun to use it for cross-chain transaction fee payments, and circulation scenarios continue to expand.

@calderaxyz continues to deepen ecosystem cooperation, recently collaborating with data layer projects such as Celestia and EigenDA to further refine the ecological layout. If #caldera can maintain developmental resilience, it is expected to promote Rollups from 'islands' to 'city clusters', and $ERA will, along with the maturity of the ecosystem, unlock greater value space, injecting strong momentum into the development of the Layer2 industry.
