#caldera @Caldera Official Caldera is an advanced Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform built atop Ethereum. It empowers developers to easily deploy customized, high-performance Layer-2 rollups tailored to their dApp needs.
Within the Caldera ecosystem, the ERA token plays a central role, serving as both a utility token (fueling transactions, staking, and cross-rollup communication) and a governance asset.
