Can Caldera make launching a high-throughput rollup as simple as clicking “Create” — and actually power XR/AI apps that need massive DA and near-real-time streams?
Short answer: yes — the product signals are live, and the tests/partnerships are unusually concrete.
Caldera has wired EigenDA v2 into its dashboard as a one-click DA option for new rollups, turning what used to be weeks of ops into a checkbox during deployment. That’s a real UX/ops win for teams that need guaranteed bandwidth without hiring an army of infra engineers.
They’re also partnering with Mawari to target real-time AI-driven XR streaming — a data-heavy workload (video+spatial state) that validates Caldera’s DA story beyond finance. Mawari claims big bandwidth efficiency gains in early tests, and Caldera’s stack is the exact metalayer those apps need.
Token reality: ERA has a 1B max supply and ~148–160M circulating after initial listings — significant liquidity but also large locked allocation to watch (vesting/unlocks are first-order signals). Caldera’s ERA Force One program adds a tiered community/staking layer to convert holders into active operators.
What to watch next: (1) real rollup launches using EigenDA v2 from the dashboard, (2) sustained DA traffic (MB/s) from Mawari/XR tests, and (3) ERA unlock calendar vs. on-chain DA demand. If all three trend up, Caldera stops being a toolkit and becomes the metalayer billing for DA.
