The story of DAOs has been told for many years, but in reality, the governance efficiency and participation rates of DAOs remain disappointing. Users are unwilling to spend high gas fees to vote, the proposal execution cycles are lengthy, and governance ultimately becomes a formal operation controlled by a few individuals. Solving this problem cannot rely on a single voting tool, but rather requires a chain specifically optimized for governance.
Caldera precisely has this potential. Its modular rollup allows DAOs to deploy a 'governance-exclusive chain', running voting mechanisms, execution logic, and incentive models within it. Unlike being limited by gas and contract complexity on Ethereum, DAOs can directly modify governance rules at the chain level. For example, they can provide priority proposal rights at the chain level for active members and incentivize community participation in voting through built-in reward mechanisms.
Previously, a large DAO had tens of thousands of members, and its governance efficiency was astonishingly low. Now, on the exclusive governance chain of Caldera, all voting and execution are real-time. Once a proposal is passed, it automatically enters the execution logic without having to wait several days for on-chain confirmation. Furthermore, DAOs can form 'multi-layer governance' through modular design, such as establishing a secondary parliamentary chain for rapid decision-making by experts or technical teams.
The cross-chain interconnectivity of ERA also enables federated governance between different DAOs. Multiple DAOs can share voting results and asset management logic, forming larger-scale cross-organizational collaboration without sacrificing autonomy. DAOs are no longer isolated communities but become nodes of an 'autonomous network' through the interoperability on the Caldera chain.
The future of governance should not just be synonymous with 'on-chain voting', but rather a process that can continuously experiment and evolve. The flexibility provided by Caldera liberates DAOs from the constraints of a monolithic environment like Ethereum, allowing them to genuinely move towards diversified and innovative governance laboratories.
