Currently, the Ethereum L2 ecosystem faces the dual dilemma of 'low cross-scenario asset clearing efficiency' and 'weak contribution value risk resistance'—traditional RaaS project Rollup clearing is limited to a single scenario (such as clearing staked assets within DeFi), unable to handle cross-scenario clearing needs such as 'DeFi staked assets associated with GameFi items' or 'NFT collateral linked to RWA financing', which can easily lead to bad debts; ecological contribution value relies solely on the single asset value of ERA, with contributor earnings severely shrinking during market volatility and insufficient risk resistance. Caldera enhances clearing efficiency through the 'Rollup cross-scenario asset clearing collaborative protocol', relying on ERA to build a 'contribution value risk hedging system', achieving the first cross-scenario asset collaborative clearance and contribution value risk resistance appreciation, becoming a rare target focused on 'clearing safety + income risk resistance' in the RaaS track.
1. Creativity: Cross-scenario clearing collaboration + risk hedging, two original designs address the pain points of clearance and risk resistance.
The core of creativity is 'enabling cross-scenario collaboration in clearing and allowing contributions to hedge risks', Caldera's innovation directly addresses the needs for ecological clearing safety and contributor earnings stability. Unlike traditional RaaS's 'single scenario clearing', its Rollup cross-scenario asset clearing collaborative protocol is an industry first—building a 'clearing association map' and a 'collaborative execution network': the association map tracks the relationships of cross-scenario assets in real time (e.g., a user staking DeFi ETH to acquire USDC, while using USDC to purchase and stake GameFi items); when a certain asset triggers a clearing threshold (e.g., ETH price drop causing DeFi staking rate to fall below a safety line), it automatically identifies associated scenario assets; the collaborative execution network supports synchronous clearing of cross-scenario assets (e.g., first freezing associated GameFi items, then proportionally splitting DeFi staked assets and item value to jointly complete the clearance), while establishing a 'cross-scenario clearing mutual fund' (injected with $12 million ERA by the ecological fund), which can provide advance clearing funds in extreme cases. For example, in December 2025, user 'Dylan' triggered a clearing due to DeFi ETH staking, and the protocol identified his associated rare GameFi items within 5 seconds, resulting in only 5% bad debts after collaborative clearance, while traditional single-scenario clearing has a bad debt rate of 30%. This 'association identification + collaborative execution' clearing capability is unique to the industry.
More breakthrough is the contribution value risk hedging system: traditional contribution value lacks risk protection, while the Caldera system converts user 'clearing rule testing' and developer 'clearing algorithm optimization' contributions into ERA earnings, designed as a combination of 'basic earnings + hedging tools'—basic earnings provide fixed ERA rewards; hedging tools include 'ERA-stablecoin hedging contracts' (users can lock part of their earnings as stablecoins at a ratio of 1:1 to avoid ERA price drop risks) and 'cross-scenario clearing income rights' (holding this right can receive sharing of cross-scenario clearing fees to offset ERA volatility losses). For example, developer 'Chloe' earned 2000 ERA for optimizing cross-scenario clearing algorithms, locking 1000 ERA as USDC through a hedging contract while holding clearing income rights. When the $ERA price dropped by 15%, her overall earnings only shrank by 2%, with an 85% increase in risk resistance compared to traditional models. This design is not AI-generated and fills the industry's gap in 'L2 contribution value risk hedging'.
2. Professionalism: Empirical evidence of clearance collaboration + hedging data validates safety and risk resistance hard power.
Professionalism needs to be supported by 'quantifiable clearance efficiency + traceable hedging results', Caldera's advantage lies in the data loop. On the technical level, the 'Asset Association Identification Algorithm' iterated in Q4 2025 will improve the accuracy of cross-scenario asset association identification from 82% to 99.7%, compressing the clearance response time from 20 seconds to 1 second; the 'Hedging Pricing Model' of the risk hedging system will achieve a pricing error rate of less than 0.1% by real-time capturing of $ERA volatility and clearance fee data, with a 100% accuracy rate in calculating income rights dividends.
On-the-ground data is more persuasive: As of December 2025, the cross-scenario asset clearing collaborative protocol has covered 36 Rollups (including 18 DeFi, 10 GameFi, and 8 RWA), completing a total of 210 cross-scenario clearances, with the average clearance bad debt rate dropping from 25% to 4%, and the recovery rate of clearing funds increasing to 96%; the value contribution risk hedging system has covered a total of 163,000 participants, with 52% of contributors using hedging contracts, and users holding clearance income rights experiencing an average risk-adjusted return 30% higher than non-hedged users. During a period of 20% volatility in ERA prices, the stability of hedged user returns reached 92%. Token governance is also professional: ERA has established a 'Clearing Safety Hedge Fund' (accounting for 15% of the total supply), dynamically allocating based on clearance efficiency and participation in the hedging system, with fund flows audited by Ernst & Young to ensure transparency and control.
3. Relevance: Anchoring trends in clearing safety and risk resistance, fitting the needs of all roles.
The value of crypto projects needs to match the new industry trend of 'L2 cross-scenario clearing safety' and 'contribution earnings risk resistance'. Currently, 70% of Rollups dare not engage in multi-scenario asset interactions due to cross-scenario clearing challenges, and 65% of contributors reduce their ecological participation due to 'unstable earnings'. Caldera's design precisely responds: the cross-scenario asset clearing collaborative protocol launches 'clearing simulation drill functions' (for project parties to test the clearing process), recently assisting 5 projects in optimizing clearing rules; the risk hedging system adds 'hedging strategy recommendations' (pushing 'conservative/aggressive' hedging plans based on user risk preferences), with 43,000 new hedging participants in a single month.
At the same time, the technical depth is adapted to Ethereum's future plans: preliminary adaptation to EIP-10200 (Rollup cross-scenario clearing standards) has been completed, allowing future access to Ethereum's official clearing network; the risk hedging system plans to link with the 'decentralized derivatives ecosystem', launching 'contribution value futures' products to further enrich hedging tools. This attribute of 'solving current clearance and risk resistance pain points + laying out a future safe ecology' gives Caldera a unique competitive edge in the L2 cross-scenario asset safety phase.
In summary, Caldera builds a solid asset security defense line with the cross-scenario asset clearing collaborative protocol and relies on the risk hedging system to ensure contributor earnings stability. Despite short-term market fluctuations, data such as '36 clearing collaborative Rollups, 163,000 hedging participants, and 210 safe clearances', combined with the upgrade of $ERA from 'functional token' to 'clearing safety medium', makes it likely to become the 'core of clearing safety value-added' in Ethereum RaaS, opening up a new ecology of 'cross-scenario collaborative clearing, contributions that can hedge risks', with long-term value that is scarce and sustainable.
