Sovereign Economics: How Caldera Rollup Empowers Project Construction of Endogenous Economic Flywheels
Title: More than Just Technical Sovereignty, but also Economic Sovereignty: The New Value Capture Paradigm of Caldera Rollup
Launching a dedicated Caldera Rollup means far more than achieving technical performance and customization. The deeper revolution lies in the unprecedented economic sovereignty it grants to project teams, enabling them to build a self-sufficient, value-endogenous economic flywheel around their native tokens. This is absolutely unattainable on shared security L1 or L2.
In a sovereign Rollup, the project’s native token is no longer merely an accessory for voting or staking; it can become the core fuel of the entire economy:
Gas Tokenization: Projects can choose to use their own native token (for example MYTOKEN) as the gas fee for network transactions. This means that the more prosperous the application ecosystem and the more active the transactions, the greater the market demand for MYTOKEN as the gas fee for network transactions. This creates the most direct and sustainable source of demand and value capture mechanism for the token.
MEV Value Redistribution: On their own chain, project teams can fully control the distribution of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value). They can allocate part of the revenue from MEV auctions to token burning, part to the community treasury, and another part back to users or nodes. This value, which was previously seized by external participants, can now be used to nourish the entire ecosystem.
Through Caldera, project teams transform from tenants “renting” on others' land to builders of their own “sovereign nation.” They can design their own “monetary policy” and “fiscal policy,” deeply tying the success of the application to the value of the token, creating a powerful, self-reinforcing growth loop.
