When the TON ecosystem meets ERA: How Caldera weaves the Web3 global network

In the vast ocean of Web3, Caldera is sailing towards the globe with Rollups-as-a-Service as its ship and $ERA as its sail. As of August 24, 2025, it has steadily supported over 50 mainnet Rollups, with TVL approaching $540 million, and 753 million transactions flowing efficiently here – these are not just simple numbers, but a microcosm of the ecosystem built by global developers and users.

The ingenuity of @Caldera Official is hidden within the Metalayer network. Through the Hyperlane protocol, cross-chain interoperability is no longer a challenge; in 2026, it will also partner with Arbitrum and Optimism, allowing the ecosystem's boundaries to continuously expand. Meanwhile, $ERA acts like the “universal hub” of the ecosystem: it is used for cross-chain fees, it supports validator staking, and governance decisions are weighted by it, binding every piece of value to the ecosystem.

The story of developer Xiao Wang contains the warmth of @Caldera Official . Once troubled by high Gas fees on Ethereum, he found new possibilities in Caldera: a throughput of over 20,000 TPS, transaction costs as low as $0.001, and a four-layer modular architecture providing safety nets – the execution layer flexibly adapts to various virtual machines, the settlement layer anchors the security of the base chain, the data availability layer collaborates with Celestia to cut storage costs by 90%, and the interoperability layer completes cross-chain asset transfers in 2 seconds. Now, his DeFi application is thriving in the #caldera ecosystem, with user participation rising from 40% to 47%.

The warmth of the ecosystem is also reflected in the details: in June 2025, intention-driven bridging improved efficiency by 30%, and user satisfaction soared to 87%; in July, smart contract optimizations reduced costs by 10%, and community forum activity jumped from 30% to 45%. Even when 6% of users faced difficulties with tools, the launch of the multilingual tutorials in the August “community training camp” boosted participation rates to 50%, with retention rates increasing by 12%. This is the confidence of #caldera – breaking through with technology, and more importantly, supplementing with the warmth of the community.
