Learning about Caldera (ERA)
@Caldera Official is powering the “Internet of Rollups”—a modular ecosystem of customizable Layer‑2 chains that are interoperable from day one .
Founded to simplify Web3 scaling, Caldera enables developers to launch EVM or Solana‑VM rollups with bespoke gas tokens, DA layers, and execution settings—all integrated via a unified Metalayer for seamless cross‑chain messaging and liquidity .
✅ With a fixed supply of 1 billion ERA, the token was distributed via community airdrop, plus allocations for team, investors, and ecosystem incentives.
✅ $ERA powers gas fee payments across all connected rollups, validator staking for Metalayer security, and on-chain governance that steers network upgrades and ecosystem grants.
✅ Real-world output: over 60 live rollups, more than 1.8 million wallets, ~$550–600 million TVL, and hundreds of millions of transactions processed—supporting DeFi, gaming, identity, and tokenized credit.
Analogy: Caldera is like a cloud platform where developers spin up custom rollups in minutes, and the Metalayer acts as the backbone, wiring them all together.
