Caldera (ERA) – The Expanded Future of Layer-2
Caldera is emerging as a leading Rollup-as-a-Service platform (RaaS), allowing developers to quickly deploy custom Layer-2 rollups on Ethereum. With support for multiple virtual machine environments (EVM, SolanaVM) along with the ability to choose data storage solutions (Celestia, NEAR), and gas token configuration, Caldera offers exceptional flexibility for various types of applications ranging from DeFi, GameFi to complex Web3 applications. Core technology – Metalayer The most notable feature of Caldera's ecosystem is Metalayer, a cross-rollup protocol that helps: Fast transactions: instant processing, reducing latency when moving assets or information between chains. Unified messaging: Caldera chains can communicate seamlessly without the need for complex bridges. Shared liquidity: enables applications on different rollups to leverage common liquidity, increasing capital efficiency. This means that, although each rollup maintains its own economic model and governance, they are still connected within a unified network, forming a robust multichain ecosystem. Highlights of Caldera Quickly deploy rollups: just a few steps with no-code tools, saving time and costs. Diverse virtual machine environments: supporting both EVM and SolanaVM, expanding the developer base. High interoperability: thanks to the Metalayer protocol, all chains can easily interact. Ecosystem scale: there are already more than 50 active rollups, over 10 million on-chain wallets, and TVL fluctuating between 400–550 million USD. Trusted by major projects: ApeChain, RARI Chain, Injective, Manta Pacific… ERA Token – Energy for the network The ERA token plays a central role in the operation of Metalayer and the entire ecosystem: Gas token: used for transaction fees on the Metalayer chains. Staking & security: helps validators maintain network security. Governance: participate in voting for proposals (CIPs), decide on funding and protocol upgrades. Allocation: total supply of 1 billion ERA, of which 7% is allocated for community airdrops to encourage early participation. Support & Funding Caldera has received investment from top funds such as Sequoia, Founders Fund, and Dragonfly. To date, the project has raised approximately 25 million USD through the Seed and Series A rounds, and launched the ERA token and an airdrop program in July 2025. Vision – Internet of Chains Caldera is not just simply building rollups, but aiming for a bigger vision: the Internet of Chains – where each application can have its own blockchain, optimized for specific needs, while still being closely interconnected. This helps: Optimize performance for each sector (DeFi, NFT, Gaming, SocialFi…).Exploit the security of Ethereum without sacrificing scalability.Create a unified ecosystem where developers and users can both thrive sustainably. 👉 With the combination of Metalayer technology, ERA token, and the vision of the Internet of Chains, Caldera is reshaping how Layer-2 operates, ushering in a new era for scaling Ethereum and the entire Web3 space. ♡𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞💬 ➤ @Calderaxyz #Caldera $ERA {spot}(ERAUSDT)
