Besides airdrops, what else does the governance of $ERA offer to attract retail investors?

When it comes to Caldera's ERA governance, many people's first reaction is "I can grab airdrops" — but as a deep participant, I want to say: what is more attractive than short-term rewards is the real sense of participation where "retail investors can also influence the ecosystem." This is also the core reason why @calderaxyz can retain users. #caldera

Last week, after voting against the development fund allocation proposal, I didn't expect to change anything, as I don't hold much of $ERA . But after the results came out, the opposing votes actually prompted adjustments to the proposal, and the project team even specially explained the modification logic to the community. This feeling of "being valued" is even more joyful than receiving an airdrop. Moreover, by studying the proposal, I gained a clearer understanding of Caldera's technical roadmap and funding plans, and I am more convinced that this project is worth holding long-term.

Of course, the expectation of airdrops is also a bonus: users who actively participate in governance often receive more ecological incentives, which is equivalent to "earning by participating." But more importantly, Caldera's governance is not "formalism": on-chain voting is transparent, proposal decision-making is quick, and user opinions are responded to. All of this makes retail investors feel like "they are not outsiders," but rather co-builders of the ecosystem. @Caldera Official #caldera For retail investors, the appeal of $ERA governance has never been limited to short-term interests; it lies in this sense of belonging where "one can voice their opinions and receive feedback" — this is how a Web3 ecosystem should be.
