What if building your own blockchain was as easy as drag-and-drop? I genuinely believe Caldera is a turning point. And its native token, $ERA? It’s not just a currency—it’s the fuel of a decentralized movement.

Caldera isn’t just another infrastructure project; it’s the “Internet of Rollups.” Their Rollup-as-a-Service platform empowers developers—even non-coders—to launch Ethereum-compatible rollups with speed and ease. What excites me most is Metalayer, their protocol that connects leading L2s like Arbitrum and zkSync, fixing the messy fragmentation that’s long plagued the ecosystem. With over 50 rollups deployed, $400M+ in TVL, and 27M+ wallets touched, Caldera isn’t theory—it’s traction.

Now let’s talk $ERA. Since its July 2025 launch, it’s gained serious attention—jumping over 85% on day one. As of July 29, 5:47 PM (UTC+8), ERA is trading at $1.2541, down 4.5% over the past 24 hours, with a 24h high of $1.3258, low of $1.2381, and volume reaching 3.50M ERA. The market is adjusting, but the fundamentals remain strong.

$ERA isn’t built for hype—it’s designed for long-term value. With only 15% of its 1B supply circulating and thoughtful vesting in place for core team & early backers/investors, it fuels Metalayer fees, staking, and governance. Plus, the generous airdrop—70M ERA distributed via tasks and NFT mints—proves community comes first.

Gate recognized this momentum and partnered with Caldera for Ecosystem Week (July 17–27, 2025), featuring events like CandyDrop, Simple Earn (up to 500% APR), BountyDrop, Alpha Trading, and VIP competitions—with hundreds of thousands of $ERA and USDT rewards.
