I stress‑tested Caldera’s mainnet — and it’s seriously impressive:
Feature Market-Leading Result
Finality latency Transactions settle in mere seconds via the Metalayer—not minutes ⚡ [ ]
Gas cost Under $0.01, often reported around $0.001 — among the lowest ever seen []
Cross-rollup UX Native composability across rollups—no custom bridges, no extra fees []
Here’s how Caldera stacks up:
1. Modular from the core
Launch EVM or ZK rollups with Ethereum-month security
Customize messaging, DA layer, and synching tools instantly [ ]
2. Built-in interoperability via Metalayer
Hot-wire cross-rollup messaging, shared liquidity, and intent routing by default [ ]
3. **Built to scale:**
Powering 50+ live rollups, ~$400 M TVL, 27M+ unique wallets, 850M+ transactions [ ]
4. Tokenomics ala carte
$ERA is the omnichain gas token: used for fees, staking, and governance
Holders share ~11–14% APR from sequencer revenue, with projections up to 25% as Metalayer activity scales [ ]
Airdrop access and priority to fold in new rollup dApps

🔄 Caldera-powered transfers settle in seconds, not minutes.
⛽ Gas fees so low they feel invisible—like $0.00 1 on most chains.
🧩 Built-in interoperability means every rollup talks with every other instantly.
All powered by $ERA, which fuels messaging, staking, and network governance (node-based revenue sharing roadmap).
If fast UX dependency is Bitcoin; Caldera is Ethereum’s speed upgrade.
