In August 2025, Caldera and EigenCloud reached a strategic partnership to integrate EigenDA V2 into the Rollup engine, boosting data throughput to 100 MB/s and reducing transaction costs by 90%. This breakthrough directly empowers high-frequency DeFi trading (such as cross-Rollup lending) and real-time game asset interactions (such as on-chain NFT trading on ApeChain). The ERA token ensures network security through a staking mechanism (8-15% annual yield) while serving as an access credential for subnet participation, creating a closed-loop of 'performance-security-incentives'.
3. Economic Model: Community-Driven 'Value Flywheel'
The total supply of ERA tokens is 1 billion, with 30% allocated for retrospective airdrops and ecosystem incentives, and over 60% distributed through community activities. In July 2025, the Binance HODLer airdrop released 2% of the tokens, attracting over 85,000 users to participate. The newly launched 'ERA Force One' community program, inspired by the U.S. Air Force rank system, allows holders to advance through holding and staking, enjoying privileges such as access to private Telegram groups and participation in strategic decision-making. This 'gamified governance' design allows the ERA token to evolve from a mere payment tool to a symbol of community identity and value carrier.
Conclusion:
Just as the TCP/IP protocol enabled the internet, Caldera's Metalayer and the ERA token are reshaping the 'underlying syntax' of blockchain. From DeFi liquidity aggregation to enterprise-level cross-chain collaboration, the ERA token has become the 'digital artery' connecting the Web3 world. With support from top exchanges like Binance, this native fuel of the 'Rollup internet' may unlock the imagination of the next trillion-dollar market.
