Caldera, a leading Rollup-as-a-serving platform, launches his native token, era, together with a community airdrop that opens a new chapter in the project mission.
According to a July 10 announcementThe Caldera Foundation has started with the pre-claim phase for the AirDrop, which will assign 7% of the total ERA token stock to early supporters and ecosystem fee carriers. Users must register via the official claim portal before the public launch of the token to receive their allocation.
The ERA will serve as the backbone of the Caldera ecosystem, which makes Omnichain gas payments, validator institution and decentralized administration possible. It is designed to raise both the Rollup engine, used to launch modular L2 chains on frameworks such as Arbitrum (ARB), optimism (OP), Base and ZKSync (ZK) and the Metalayer.
Metalater is the interoperability protocol of Caldera that connects all Rollups in one network with shared liquidity and on intention -based bridges. It acts as a connecting bridge between Caldera-based chains, which allows assets and data to move freely over rollups while retaining the security.
Validators will use the era to verify cross-chain messages and secure future infrastructure, including ZK-specific subnets. As the ecosystem matures, tokens holders will also guide the protocolupgrades, vote on developer grants and representatives opt for the boards of the foundation.
The token launch comes after several large infrastructure -upgrades at the beginning of July, such as the complete rollout of the metalayer and improvements to the Rollup engine. With these improvements, developers can now process rollups as programmable services with integrated interoperability, which makes fast and safe bridging over more than 100 chains facilitate.
Caldera is currently feeding more than 50 live rollups with a total value that is locked of more than $ 400 million and has processed more than 750 million transactions over 27 million wallet addresses. High -profile partners are Manta Pacific, Apechain and B3.
The Caldera Foundation, located in the Cayman Islands, will supervise the token distribution and lead the progressive decentralization of the ecosystem. Her mission is to grow the network and enable the community to stimulate its future.
While the modular blockchain movement is accelerating, the era of Caldera wants to offer the coordination layer and economic engine, for what it calls the ‘internet of the chains’. With the AirDrop Live and Core Infrastructure in place, the project now invites users and builders to shape the next era of scalable, composite blockchains.
