One of Caldera's greatest advantages is its reliance on the Ethereum security framework. Its Rollup is based on Ethereum, inheriting its decentralization and security (for example, assets are ultimately anchored to the Ethereum mainnet). When developers create customized Rollups, they do not have to build a security foundation from scratch; they can directly leverage Ethereum's consensus and asset security. At the same time, Metalayer's cross-Rollup collaboration also operates within the Ethereum framework, ensuring the underlying security of cross-chain operations. This model of 'standing on the shoulders of Ethereum' allows Caldera's customized Rollups and cross-chain collaboration to have both innovative flexibility and top-tier security endorsement, making the ERA token-driven ecosystem more trustworthy.
The Caldera ecosystem is exhibiting a 'snowball' effect: More Rollups integrated → More cross-chain demand → More ERA consumption (transaction fees, staking) → A more prosperous ecosystem → Attracting more developers/users. For instance, existing Rollups, under the collaboration of Metalayer, have achieved cross-chain asset transfers and data sharing, attracting DeFi and NFT projects; these projects, in turn, drive the development of new Rollups, further enriching the ecosystem. The ERA token is the 'core of the snowball,' driving every step of the operation: paying transaction fees enables actions to occur, staking ensures security stabilizes the ecosystem, and governance aligns development with needs. As the ecosystem grows larger, the 'snowball' becomes harder to stop, and Caldera's collaborative value will increase exponentially.
