Ecological community upgrade, activating participants with the Air Force ranks, ERA Force One community program observation
Recently, Caldera launched a very interesting community program, ERA Force One (i.e., Air Force One). Participants are promoted from Airman Basic all the way up to General based on the amount of ERA they hold and stake. The higher the rank, the more exclusive private chat groups they can enter, allowing direct communication with the project team, participation in strategic discussions, and future planning.
This approach is obviously clever, as it upgrades holders → participants to strategic collaborators, enhancing community engagement while reducing information barriers. Even more interestingly, it utilizes the familiar structure of Air Force ranks, which not only adds a sense of ritual but also subtly cultivates a sense of belonging. For developers, community members, and even early supporters, this is essentially a ritualized honor system.
In the future, there may be more exclusive incentives or programs for high-ranking members. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a small innovation in community management for Web3 projects, worthy of emulation.
