Caldera (ERA)

Caldera (ERA) is a rollup platform on Ethereum that provides horizontal scalability and interoperability between rollups. Instead of optimizing a single blockchain, Caldera allows projects to launch customized rollups while maintaining the security and decentralization of Ethereum. The platform features Metalayer—a unifying layer designed to connect rollups within the Optimistic and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) frameworks. This facilitates coordination, communication, and resource sharing while preserving the unique characteristics of each rollup. The native utility and governance token of Caldera, $ERA, is used for: - Paying transaction fees in Metalayer for cross-rollup interactions. - Staking validator nodes participating in the network. - Making governance decisions on protocol upgrades and treasury fund allocation.
