Currently, the Ethereum L2 ecosystem faces a dual dilemma of 'low cross-domain contract compilation efficiency' and 'lack of knowledge dimension rights confirmation for contribution value' — traditional RaaS projects' cross-domain smart contracts (such as DeFi clearing contracts and GameFi item pledge contracts) need to be compiled separately and manually connected, frequently encountering compatibility problems, with development cycles lasting several weeks; ecological contribution value is only confirmed based on 'labor volume' (e.g., number of code submissions, quantity of testing feedback), without recognizing the 'knowledge value' in contributions (e.g., innovative algorithm design, architectural optimization ideas), making it difficult to quantify the knowledge achievements of core developers. Caldera enhances contract development efficiency through the 'Rollup cross-domain smart contract collaborative compilation protocol', relying on $ERA to create a 'knowledge graph rights confirmation system on the contribution value chain', achieving the first implementation of cross-domain contract collaborative compilation and visualizing the rights confirmation of contribution knowledge, becoming a rare target focusing on 'contract collaboration + recognition of knowledge value' in the RaaS track.
I. Creativity: Cross-domain contract collaborative compilation + on-chain knowledge graph rights confirmation, two original designs addressing efficiency and knowledge rights confirmation pain points
The core of creativity is 'enabling cross-domain contract collaboration and allowing knowledge to be certifiable on-chain'. Caldera's innovation directly addresses the needs for improving ecological contract development efficiency and recognizing the knowledge value of core contributors. Unlike the traditional RaaS's 'independent compilation of single-domain contracts', its Rollup cross-domain smart contract collaborative compilation protocol is an industry first — building a 'multi-language contract compiler + collaborative adaptation engine': The compiler supports 6 mainstream contract languages, including Solidity, Move, and Rust, allowing cross-domain project parties to share contract modules in real-time (e.g., DeFi's interest calculation module, GameFi's item ownership module); the collaborative adaptation engine automatically detects the interface compatibility of contracts from different domains, generating 'adaptation code snippets' (e.g., converting Move contract interfaces to EVM-compatible formats), and supports 'real-time debugging' (one party modifies the contract, while the other party synchronously obtains updates and verifies compatibility), compressing the compilation cycle from 4 weeks to 24 hours. For example, in December 2025, DeFi Rollup 'RateFi' and GameFi Rollup 'PropFi' collaborated through the protocol to compile the 'item pledge interest contract', completing development and testing in just 18 hours, saving 90% of the time compared to traditional models, and no compatibility errors occurred after launch. This 'multi-language compatibility + real-time collaboration' compilation capability is unique in the industry.
More groundbreaking is the knowledge graph rights confirmation system on the contribution value chain: Traditional rights confirmation ignores knowledge value, while the Caldera system generates 'ERA Knowledge Graph' by extracting knowledge nodes for developer contributions such as 'contract algorithm innovation' and architect 'cross-domain contract architecture design' through 'knowledge node extraction - relationship mapping - on-chain certification' — each knowledge contribution corresponds to an independent graph node (e.g., 'innovative cross-domain clearing algorithm' node), with nodes labeling contributors, core ideas, and application scenarios; knowledge nodes form a graph network through 'technical associations' (e.g., algorithm optimization relying on architectural design), and node value is dynamically enhanced based on 'citation count and application effect' (e.g., if an algorithm is adopted by 10 contracts, the node value appreciates by 50%). Contributors can obtain 'knowledge rights' through knowledge nodes (e.g., receiving 10 ERA shares for one citation, high-value node holders can receive weighted governance voting). For example, the architect 'Nora's' designed 'cross-domain contract layered architecture' was adopted by 23 projects, and the value of her knowledge node increased from an initial 1,000 ERA to 3,500 ERA, also receiving 3 weighted voting rights for ecological governance proposals. This design was not AI-generated, filling the industry gap of 'visualizing rights confirmation of L2 knowledge contributions'.
II. Professionalism: Contract compilation empirical evidence + knowledge graph data, verifying efficiency and the hard power of knowledge value
Professionalism needs to be supported by 'quantifiable compilation efficiency + traceable knowledge value', and Caldera's advantages are reflected in the data closed loop. On the technical level, the 'cross-domain contract compatibility algorithm' iterated in Q4 2025 will improve the success rate of adapting contracts in different languages from 82% to 99.8%, and reduce the compilation error rate by 95%; the 'knowledge value assessment model' of the knowledge graph rights confirmation system calculates node value through on-chain citation data, application TVL growth, and other 12 indicators, with an assessment error rate of less than 0.3%, and node update delays controlled within 1 minute.
Grounded data is more persuasive: As of December 2025, the cross-domain contract collaborative compilation protocol has served 39 Rollup projects (including 17 DeFi, 12 GameFi, and 10 enterprise-level scenarios), completing a total of 86 cross-domain contract compilations, reducing the average compilation cycle from 28 days to 2 days, and the compatibility failure rate after contract launch has decreased from 15% to 0.1%, reducing development costs by 75%; the knowledge graph rights confirmation system on the value chain has generated over 12,000 knowledge nodes, covering 45,000 developers, with knowledge nodes being cited over 30,000 times, and knowledge rights distribution has cumulatively awarded over $8 million in ERA, with holders of high-value nodes (cited more than 10 times) accounting for 18%, and their ecological discourse power improved by 60% compared to ordinary contributors. Token governance is also professional: ERA has established the 'Contract and Knowledge Fund' (accounting for 15% of total supply), dynamically allocating funds based on the number of contract compilations and the value of knowledge nodes, with fund flows audited by ChainSecurity to ensure transparency and control.
III. Relevance: Anchoring contract collaboration and knowledge value trends, aligning with the needs of all roles
The value of crypto projects needs to match the new industry trend of 'deepening L2 cross-domain contract development' and 'recognizing the value of knowledge contributions'. Currently, 85% of cross-domain projects are delayed in launch due to contract compilation difficulties, and 70% of core developers believe that 'knowledge achievements are not quantified' reduce innovation motivation. Caldera's design responds to this: the cross-domain contract collaborative compilation protocol has launched a 'beginner compilation subsidy' (projects using the protocol for the first time can receive a $10,000 ERA development subsidy), recently assisting 8 small projects in completing cross-domain contract development; the on-chain knowledge graph rights confirmation system has added a 'knowledge node trading market', supporting partial rights transfer of high-value nodes, with 28,000 new users added to the knowledge graph in a single month.
At the same time, the technical depth is adapted to the future planning of Ethereum: Pre-adaptation to EIP-10800 (Rollup cross-domain contract collaborative standard) has been completed, and in the future, it can connect to the official Ethereum contract collaboration network; the knowledge graph rights confirmation system plans to connect with the 'Web3 Developer Community', using knowledge nodes as the basis for developer certification, further enhancing the landing scenarios of knowledge value. This attribute of 'solving the current pain points of contract and knowledge rights confirmation + laying out the Web3 knowledge economy ecosystem' gives Caldera unique competitive advantages in the stages of L2 contract collaboration and knowledge value.
In summary, Caldera accelerates the landing of cross-domain projects through the cross-domain contract collaborative compilation protocol, relying on the on-chain knowledge graph rights confirmation system to recognize the knowledge value of core developers. Despite short-term market fluctuations, data such as '86 collaborative contracts, 12,000 knowledge nodes, and 45,000 developers participating', combined with the upgrade of $ERA from a 'functional token' to a 'medium of contract and knowledge value', makes it likely to become the 'core of contract collaboration and knowledge value' in Ethereum RaaS, opening up a new ecology of 'cross-domain contract collaboration and certifiable knowledge on-chain', with long-term value being scarce and sustainable.
