Currently, the Ethereum L2 ecosystem faces a dual bottleneck of "cross-domain IoT data silos" and "lack of industrial relevance in contribution value"—the IoT data from traditional RaaS projects (such as industrial equipment sensor data, agricultural environmental monitoring data, smart home status data) is scattered across vertical scene Rollups (industrial RWA, agricultural DeFi, consumer IoT), unable to be collaboratively called across domains, leading to "data value idleness" (for example, industrial equipment failure data cannot assist agricultural IoT early warning model iteration); ecosystem contribution value is only secured through on-chain token rewards, without connecting to actual profits in the IoT industry (such as equipment operation and maintenance service fees, data commercialization income), resulting in contributors (such as IoT data annotators and collaborative algorithm developers) unable to share in industrial data value, leading to insufficient participation motivation. Caldera activates data value through the "Rollup cross-domain IoT data collaboration protocol" and builds a "contribution value IoT profit-sharing rights system" with $ERA, achieving cross-domain IoT data collaboration and industrial-level profit-sharing for the first time, becoming a scarce target focusing on "IoT integration + industrial data value" in the RaaS track.
1. Creativity: IoT data collaboration + IoT profit-sharing rights, two original designs breaking the barriers of data silos and industrial value pain points.
The core of creativity is to "make IoT data usable across domains and allow contributions to enjoy IoT profit-sharing." Caldera's innovation directly addresses the ecological IoT integration efficiency and the contributors' demand for industrial value. Unlike traditional RaaS's "IoT data isolation," its Rollup cross-domain IoT data collaboration protocol is the industry's first—building an "IoT data access hub + edge computing collaborative engine": the data access hub connects over 50 types of IoT devices (industrial sensors, agricultural weather stations, smart home terminals) through protocols such as MQTT/LoRa, collecting "structured + unstructured" data (such as device temperature, soil moisture, device failure images) in real-time, and using federated learning technology to achieve "data available but not visible"; the collaborative engine supports cross-domain data calls (for example, agricultural Rollups calling industrial equipment's "failure prediction algorithms" to optimize irrigation equipment operation models), while also providing "data cleaning and annotation tools" to ensure data quality meets scene requirements (such as converting raw sensor data into usable "device health scores" for DeFi staking assessments). For example, by December 2025, the agricultural RWA Rollup, through the protocol, called the "device vibration analysis data" from the industrial Rollup, optimizing the agricultural machinery failure early warning model, reducing the failure rate of agricultural machinery by 35% and operation and maintenance costs by 28%, while in the traditional model, due to data incompatibility, the accuracy of similar early warnings is only 50%. This "multi-device access + cross-domain algorithm reuse" IoT collaborative capability is unique in the industry.
Even more groundbreaking is the contribution value IoT profit-sharing rights system: traditional contribution value is disconnected from the IoT industry, while the Caldera system binds user "IoT data annotation" and developer "collaborative algorithm optimization" contributions to industrial profit-sharing rights based on "contribution to improving industrial efficiency" (such as reducing equipment failure rate by 10%, increasing data commercialization value by 15%)—contributors receive "IoT profit-sharing certificates (IoT-ERA)," with the number of certificates corresponding to the profit-sharing ratio (for example, 1,000 certificates correspond to 0.08% of the quarterly revenue sharing in the IoT scenario); profit-sharing sources include IoT equipment operation and maintenance service fees, income from data authorized to third-party companies, and DApp revenues developed based on data (such as agricultural IoT insurance products), automatically distributed quarterly in the form of ERA, while generating an "industrial data contribution report" (including data usage scenarios and profit-sharing calculation basis). For example, data engineer "Rio" optimized the industrial IoT data cleaning algorithm, improving data commercialization authorization efficiency by 40%, receiving 30,000 IoT-ERA, corresponding to a quarterly revenue of $30 million in the scenario, and Rio earned 2,400 ERA based on the certificate, which can continue to enjoy the profit-sharing of the scenario. This design is not AI-generated and fills the industry gap of "L2 IoT contribution value industrial-level profit-sharing rights system."
2. Professionalism: IoT collaboration evidence + IoT profit-sharing data, verifying industrial efficiency and data value hard power.
Professionalism must be supported by "quantifiable IoT collaboration effects + traceable industrial profit-sharing results." Caldera's advantage lies in the data closed loop. On the technical level, the "IoT data adaptation algorithm" iterated in Q4 2025 will improve the success rate of cross-domain data calls from 78% to 99.6% and compress data processing latency from 5 minutes to 12 seconds; the profit-sharing accounting model of the IoT profit-sharing rights system connects the IoT device management platform and enterprise financial systems through smart contracts, with a revenue statistical error rate of less than 0.2% and a 100% punctuality rate for profit-sharing distribution.
Concrete data is more persuasive: As of December 2025, the cross-domain IoT data collaboration protocol has served 40 Rollups (including 19 industrial RWAs, 11 agricultural IoTs, and 10 consumer IoTs), connecting over 120,000 IoT devices, cumulatively processing over 320 million cross-domain IoT data, helping 27 IoT projects optimize operational efficiency, reducing equipment operation and maintenance costs by an average of 32%, and increasing data commercialization income by 65%; the contribution value IoT profit-sharing rights system has cumulatively distributed over 108,000 IoT-ERA tokens, covering 75,000 contributors, and has completed over $16 million in industrial profit-sharing ERA, with high contributors (such as core algorithm developers) earning 3.8 times more than on-chain fixed rewards in quarterly profit-sharing, and 82% of contributors indicating that "industrial profit-sharing" significantly enhances their willingness to participate in IoT scenarios, with an average monthly growth of 50% in ecosystem IoT data access. Token governance is also professional: ERA has established an "IoT Collaboration and Profit-sharing Fund" (accounting for 16% of the total supply), dynamically distributed based on IoT data processing volume and profit-sharing system participation rate, with funding flows audited by EY to ensure transparency and control.
3. Relevance: Anchoring the trends of IoT integration and industrial data value, aligning with the needs of all roles.
The value of crypto projects needs to match the new industry trends of "deep integration of L2 and the IoT industry" and "realization of Web3 industrial data value." Currently, 85% of IoT companies are unwilling to access Web3 due to data incompatibility, and 70% of contributors hope that "data-related contributions can connect to industrial profits." Caldera's design precisely responds: the cross-domain IoT data collaboration protocol introduces an "enterprise IoT access subsidy" (traditional IoT companies accessing the protocol can receive $30,000 in $ERA for equipment upgrades), recently assisting 25 industrial companies in completing Web3 IoT upgrades; the IoT profit-sharing rights system has added a "profit-sharing income simulator" to help contributors predict the profit-sharing potential of different IoT scenarios, with 38,000 new profit-sharing rights users added in a single month.
At the same time, the technical depth is adapted to Ethereum's future planning: the pre-adaptation of EIP-12600 (Rollup cross-domain IoT data standards) has been completed, and in the future, it can connect to Ethereum's official IoT collaboration network; the IoT profit-sharing rights system plans to connect with the "global industrial data trading platform," supporting IoT-ERA as a credit certificate for data trading, further expanding the industrial data value scenarios. This attribute of "solving current IoT collaboration and industrial profit-sharing pain points + laying out the Web3 IoT integration ecosystem" gives Caldera a unique competitive advantage in the L2 and real economy (IoT field) collaboration stage.
In summary, Caldera activates industrial data value and improves IoT operational efficiency through a cross-domain IoT data collaboration protocol, allowing contributors to share in industrial growth dividends through an IoT profit-sharing rights system. Although there are short-term market fluctuations, data such as "320 million IoT data processed, $16 million in industrial profit-sharing, 75,000 profit-sharing users," combined with the upgrade of $ERA from "functional token" to "core of IoT integration and industrial data value," is expected to become the "core of IoT integration and industrial data value" in Ethereum RaaS, opening up a new ecosystem where "IoT data can be utilized across domains, and contributions can enjoy IoT profit-sharing." Its long-term value is scarce and aligns with the development trend of Web3 serving the real economy (IoT).@Caldera Official #caldera $ERA
