#Caldera is a platform that offers "Rollup-as-a-Service" (RaaS), allowing developers to easily create and manage their own high-performance, application-specific blockchains. The ERA token is a central component of this ecosystem, powering its key features and addressing scalability and interoperability issues on shared blockchains.
The Metalayer
A core feature of Caldera is the Metalayer, a unifying infrastructure that connects different rollups, no matter what framework they're built on (like Optimism, Arbitrum, or ZKsync). The ERA token serves as the universal gas token for all transactions and interactions on the Metalayer. This allows for seamless communication and data transfer between different blockchains.
Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS)
The Caldera platform gives developers all the tools they need to quickly launch customized rollups. Users can choose their own execution environment, data availability layer, and even the native gas token for their new blockchain.
