《From Rollup to Metalayer: $ERA Token Reconstructs New Logic for Scalability》

The blockchain world is never short of "scalability solutions," but it lacks the disruptors that can break the "data barriers." Caldera arrives with the Metalayer protocol and $ERA token, aiming not only to address the performance bottlenecks of Ethereum Layer-2 but also to make Rollup chains like Optimism, zkSync, and Arbitrum truly "interconnected"—what @calderaxyz is doing is equipping Ethereum Layer-2 with a "unified brain."

Traditional Rollups operate independently, and cross-chain interactions feel like "climbing mountains and crossing rivers," while the @Caldera Official Metalayer protocol simplifies all of this. It achieves real-time state synchronization between Rollups through the Guardian Nodes validator network, eliminating the need for inefficient cross-chain bridges: developers deploying chains on Caldera can access data from other Rollups as if it were "local retrieval," increasing transaction efficiency while reducing fees by over 90%. The ERA token is the "key gear" in this system: users pay fees in ERA when transacting across chains, validators earn income from it, and staking ERA can enhance network security—currently, over 60,000 ETH are participating in re-staking through EigenLayer, driven by the ecological cohesion of ERA.

To understand the value of the ERA token, one must look at its "ecological penetration rate." By August 2025, Metalayer connects over 30 Rollup chains, with an average of 240,000 cross-chain transactions daily, and an average daily transaction volume of $12 million for ERA, which is nine times that of its initial launch. Even more exciting is the "ERA Force One" tiered program: having sufficient token holdings and staking allows users to upgrade from "Air Force Basic" to "Air Force General," participating in exclusive governance proposals and ecological funds, thereby tightening the bond between users and the ecosystem. @Caldera Official employs this design to make $ERA not just a token, but an ecological "passport."

Don’t assume @Caldera Official is only focused on Layer-2—it has already set its sights on RWA. After collaborating with EigenCloud, integrating the EigenDA V2 data layer into the Rollup engine has increased on-chain verification efficiency for enterprise-level RWA by five times, with Starbucks coffee plantation assets as a prime example. The ERA token has also become the "engine" of ecological incentives: 40% of the total supply is allocated to developers and the community, with the highest prize of 500,000 ERA for the cross-chain development competition, attracting over 200 project submissions. #caldera is linking technology, ecology, and real assets through ERA, and #caldera will ultimately define the next era of blockchain connectivity.
