In today's fiercely competitive Layer 2 landscape, Caldera (ERA) has not chosen a single "performance-first" route, but instead proposes a more inclusive vision: to build a Metalayer for Rollups. This means it is not looking to replace other Rollups, but to enable various Rollups to interoperate within the same layer.
Specifically, Caldera allows developers to launch fully customizable Rollups while enabling cross-Rollup communication through the Metalayer. This not only ensures decentralization and security but also greatly enhances the flexibility of development and applications. For example, a DeFi protocol can operate on an optimistic Rollup while seamlessly utilizing resources from a zero-knowledge Rollup.
The ERA token plays a key role in the ecosystem: it is used for paying transaction fees within the Metalayer, provides incentives for validators to stake, and serves as a core tool for protocol governance. This makes Caldera's economic model more sustainable and community-driven.
As more projects join the Rollup race, Caldera's differentiated positioning perfectly meets the core demand for "interoperability." While Optimism and Arbitrum each delve deep into scaling, Caldera aims to build a unified interoperability network. This strategy may allow it to secure a place in the future Layer 2 ecosystem. #Caldera @Caldera Official $ERA
