I. Advantages of Technical Architecture: Fusion of Modularity and High Performance 1. Flexible Four-Layer Architecture Supports Custom Rollup Caldera adopts a modular design that allows developers to assemble execution layers (supporting EVM/SVM and other virtual machines) as needed, settlement layers (relying on Ethereum's security), data availability layers (such as Celestia reducing costs by 90%), and interoperability layers (Metalayer). This architecture allows application chains to customize block parameters, gas tokens, and privacy schemes to meet the needs of high-frequency scenarios such as gaming and DeFi. Performance: Single-chain throughput exceeds 20,000 TPS, with transaction costs as low as $0.001 (1% of Ethereum L1), significantly better than traditional L1/L2 general-purpose chains.
2. Metalayer Achieves Seamless Cross-Chain Interoperability ERA, as a cross-chain gas token, abstracts underlying complexity through the Metalayer protocol, allowing users to complete inter-chain transfers within 2 seconds without manually bridging assets. Compared to the fragmented experience of holding various gas tokens in traditional multi-chain ecosystems, ERA's unified payment significantly lowers the usage threshold.
II. Advantages of Token Economic Model: Core Mechanism for Capturing Ecological Value 1. Scarcity Design of Omnichain Gas Tokens ERA has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, serving as the default gas token for all Caldera Rollups, with its demand increasing as the number of ecological application chains grows. For example, over 75 chains (including well-known projects like ApeChain) have been deployed in the ecosystem, with a TVL exceeding $1 billion and an average of 860,000 daily transactions, continuously driving up gas consumption scenarios.
2. Dual Value-Adding Logic of Staking and Governance - Staking Rewards: Validators must stake ERA to ensure cross-chain security, allowing users to earn 8-15% annualized returns, incentivizing long-term holding. - Governance Power: Holders vote to decide on protocol upgrades and fund allocation (such as ecological grants), and locked tokens enjoy double voting weight, enhancing governance participation depth. @Caldera Official #Caldear $ERA
