The E Guardians 💂 are back!
One criticism of the EVM has been its difficulty of use, with each Layer 2 operating independently, making it hard for DeFi protocols and applications to work together. E TH is like the Zhou Emperor, with various vassal states forming their own powers, but the central authority is weak. So how can we create a local defense for the central authority, unite as one, and make EVM Great Again?
We noticed an interesting concept: Metalayer.
Starting from the underlying logic based on intent and abstraction, for the sake of user experience:
Caldera has officially launched a new interoperability network, Metalayer, aimed at solving the complex issues of cross-chain for users.
As of April 2025, the Metalayer testnet has been successfully deployed on mainstream networks such as Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, and ZKSync, with the mainnet expected to go live this month.
For Caldera's $ERA, achieving access to several major exchanges (Upbit, Binance, Coinbase) on the first day is also a relatively rare occurrence for projects. The project's investors include mainstream American investment institutions like Sequoia Capital and Founders Fund, and tokens for investors will only unlock after a year. Additionally, several recently popular projects, such as Towns, B3, and Clearpool, are based on Caldera's Rollup chain, supporting over 1 billion transactions in total, with a TVL exceeding 400 million USD, indicating a solid underlying foundation.
The data and fundamentals, along with the first-day trading volume exceeding 1 billion USD, suggest that the market interest in $ERA is not low. It is worth noting whether the subsequent coin price can ride the wave of ETH's recent rise and become a Beta Play in the ETH ecosystem.

Why is $ERA still worth paying attention to after the airdrop?
After Succinct, more and more people are starting to focus on the underlying infrastructure of Web3. The ZK narrative is heating up, and capital's attention is shifting from applications to inter-chain interoperability and "intent" execution.
➤ Caldera is one of the key infrastructures in this trend.
With so many chains now, the ecosystem is severely fragmented, leading to new plays like "abstract wallets" and "intent protocols"—but these all rely on the underlying execution network.
More and more projects no longer need to build chains from scratch, but can directly use the Rollup modules provided by Caldera, which is simple, fast, and convenient.
You may not have noticed that many familiar projects are actually supported by Caldera:
🔸 Towns (the most active social project on Celestia)
🔸 Space and Time (a data project that just completed its TGE)
🔸 Plume (dubbed the RWA dark horse)
——————
➤ Caldera itself is also accelerating the improvement of its interoperability capabilities:
The Metalayer cross-chain bridge is now live, currently supporting instant transfers between EVM chains like Base and BNB, with plans to expand to non-EVM chains like Solana and Hyperliquid in the future.

➤ Caldera is gradually becoming a key infrastructure for inter-chain interoperability.
Caldera's Rollup engine already supports over 100 L2/L3 chains, accounting for 25% of the entire Ethereum Rollup. This means that for every 4 chains in the market, 1 is using Caldera.
It has processed over 1 billion transactions, with a TVL exceeding 400 million USD, over 30 million wallet addresses, and services covering more than 75 chains, encompassing multiple popular narratives such as AI, RWA, DePIN, and GameFi.
Overview of the Caldera ecosystem 🔗
——————
➤ The native token $ERA of Caldera is also sending out several signals.
Investors have a long lock-up period, a slow release rhythm, support staking to obtain ecological airdrops, and holders have the opportunity to unlock qualifications for cooperative projects.
The "ERA Power" mechanism launched by the project encourages deep community participation, providing more incentives for participants after the TGE.
——————
What Caldera aims to do is not to replace any chain, but to build an "interoperable foundation"—just like a browser does not replace websites but connects thousands of applications.
Behind these new narratives of ZK, chain abstraction, and intent execution, Caldera is the infrastructure project worth continuous attention.

From a certain perspective, the L2 space is very similar to the electric vehicle industry.
The current L2 battle is no longer about performance; it has shifted to the stack level. Whoever can get more people to use it will have the say. For example, OP Stack, ZK Stack, and Arbitrum Orbit are all opening their own "technology templates" to attract developers to build their own factions of L2 or L3. It's like how Tesla open-sourced its code in the early days: every company is pushing its own electric vehicle "operating system," lowering the barriers for everyone to enter the electric vehicle industry, allowing more developers to build cars based on their own systems.
However, the downside of competition is that everyone is doing their own thing, and the systems cannot interoperate. This street has Tesla charging stations, while that street has NIO charging stations. If the charging stations cannot interconnect, it becomes a waste of resources for the electric vehicle industry.
So the biggest problem with L2 right now is similar: the OP system, ZK system, and other stacks cannot interoperate, which directly undermines Ethereum's original vision of "modular + unified." This is not a good thing for the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
Both L2 and the electric vehicle industry need an interoperable "charging station." The interoperable "charging station" for L2 has basically been realized on Caldera.
Caldera's newly launched Metalayer technology product is compatible with all factions of OP Stack, ZK Stack, and Arbitrum Nitro, providing "power" between chains. For developers, there's no need to adapt to each chain; a single SDK connects to Caldera, covering interoperability, settlement, and security at the underlying level. For users, information is interoperable; for example, if KYC has been done at this Rollup layer, it doesn't need to be done again at that Rollup.
Currently, Caldera supports over 100 customizable L2 and L3 networks, accounting for nearly a quarter of all Rollups on Ethereum. The social protocol Towns, which raised $46 million and launched on Binance, is supported by Caldera.
Currently, it mainly focuses on EVM chains, and the next step should be Solana and HyperEVM. Looking at the data, Caldera's TVL has just hit $1 billion, and the current market cap of ERA is $158 million, with all investors having at least a one-year lock-up period.
So it shouldn't be difficult to see a new high this year.

The Ethereum infrastructure, honed over three years, has begun to reverse its trend as I successfully predicted. If you're looking for some short-term multiples, consider some excellent ETH ecosystem infrastructures.
The volcano doing ETH ROLLUP, $ERA, saw a price drop after its launch, and I will tell you in multiple ways why I am optimistic about it and why I chose to buy the dip.
1. Fun fact: All investors in Caldera must lock their assets for a year.
2. Using the same incubator, Alliance DAO, which has recently performed strongly with $PENDLE, the launch price was 0.78. When PENDLE dropped to $0.465, it began a violent rebound, reaching a peak price of 7.538, currently around 5.5.
3. Look at the investors: The founder is a co-founder of Palantir, which has been the only publicly traded company to outperform BTC since 2021. Moreover, they have made few transactions, known for their precision, with only over 60 crypto-related trades since 2013.
Sequoia previously invested in KAITO, which was a competitive move, and @Calderaxyz is also a strong product type project backed by Sequoia. On the KAITO leaderboard, it’s normal for KAITO to help Caldera when needed.
The first round valuation of Caldera volcano exceeded 100 million USD last November, with total financing of 25 million USD. Currently, the circulating market value is around the first round valuation range.
Many people know about OP but not about the volcano. The OP superchain plan is based on Optimistic Rollup design, and you must join this alliance to have a future, like NATO in the crypto world. Caldera, on the other hand, is a full-stack Rollup solution, like a more open club, allowing all Rollups to interconnect, merging their separate regional liquidity and services. It is also cheaper and has unlimited capacity.
The volcano offers some customized DAPPs that provide yields, focusing on excelling in their specialized business, outperforming competitors, and achieving the lowest industry costs. They aim to lower the barriers for launching chains.
Although various chains and L2s are increasing, as chain abstraction develops, 1+1 > 2, users can experience better applications that are less perceptible, with cross-chain transactions becoming faster and cheaper.
