Caldera's scene penetration follows the path of 'breaking the ice from DeFi to expanding the entire ecosystem':
• DeFi leads the way: High demand and high-frequency interaction DeFi scenarios (such as lending, DEX) are the first to use customized Rollups to solve scalability (such as institutional-grade credit on-chain, high TPS transaction clearing), leveraging Metalayer to achieve cross-Rollup asset combinations (such as stablecoins and tokens across different chains);
• Extending to NFT, blockchain games, and the metaverse: There is a strong demand for customized chains (such as NFT high-concurrency minting chains) and cross-chain ecosystems (such as metaverse cross-chain identities). Caldera quickly enters with mature tools and cooperative networks;
• ERA runs throughout: DeFi cross-chain transaction fees, NFT minting chain staking, metaverse governance voting, with ERA serving as fuel, security, and governance tools, driving scene penetration. Each penetration of a scene accumulates a group of users and developers, making Metalayer collaboration more complex, forming a cycle of 'scene demand → technical adaptation → ERA value enhancement', allowing Caldera to grow from a DeFi tool to a full ecological infrastructure.
$ERA The 'deflationary expectation' of the token and ecological value
In the ERA ecosystem, the 'deflationary expectation' is becoming a value catalyst. Although destruction has not yet been enforced, the operation of the ecosystem already implies a deflationary logic:
• Fee consumption: Interactions across Rollups and customized Rollup operations will consume ERA to pay transaction fees, with high-frequency trading scenarios (such as DeFi clearing, NFT minting) continuously 'burning' tokens;
• Staking and locking: A large amount of ERA is staked by validator nodes, and withdrawing stakes requires an unlocking period, equivalent to a long-term 'freeze' on token circulation;
• Governance binding: Holders are involved in key decisions (such as protocol upgrades, ecological fund allocation), leaning towards long-term holding of ERA to reduce selling pressure.
As the ecosystem expands (more Rollups, higher frequency operations), the consumption and locking of ERA will intensify, and the growth of circulation cannot keep up with demand. The deflationary expectation supports the token value, making ERA not just a 'functional token,' but also an 'anti-inflation asset'.@Caldera Official #Caldera
