🌐【Caldera: Rollup Enters the 'Cooperative Era'】
The emergence of Rollup has solved the scalability problem, but new bottlenecks soon became apparent. As more and more Rollups go live, the ecosystem is fragmented into isolated islands: users rely on bridging across chains, which is both complex and insecure; liquidity is scattered across different chains, leading to overall inefficiency; while project teams gain performance, they must adhere to a shared model, lacking sovereignty. If scalability leads to fragmentation, its value will be significantly diminished.
Caldera (ERA) was born for this purpose. It offers rapid deployment for dedicated Rollups, allowing projects to launch independent chains within days, possessing complete performance and economic sovereignty. At the same time, through the Metalayer coordination layer, Caldera connects these independent Rollups, enabling native interoperability of assets, data, and states, fundamentally resolving the fragmentation issue. With EVM compatibility, developers can migrate at almost zero cost.
In this architecture, $ERA is the core hub, responsible for cross-Rollup settlement fees, node staking security, and governance voting. As the network expands, the demand and value of $ERA will continue to grow. Currently, over 50 projects have chosen to deploy on Caldera, covering DeFi, GameFi, RWA, and DePIN. The next era of Rollup is not a competition of performance, but a competition of cooperation. Caldera is becoming the engine of this cooperative era.
