Recently, many people have questioned the positioning of Caldera. In fact, Caldera is not just a Layer 2 solution, but rather a higher-level integration platform that can be seen as the "central control console" of the Layer 2 ecosystem. Its core function lies in breaking down the barriers between different Rollups and integrating them into an interconnected system.

This groundbreaking unified collaborative capability primarily stems from Metalayer technology. Metalayer is different from traditional cross-chain bridges or aggregators, as it offers a complete set of solutions, including resource sharing mechanisms, communication standards, and governance frameworks. In this ecosystem, the ERA token plays a crucial role and serves as the core driving force of the entire platform.

The ERA token has a diversified application within the Caldera ecosystem, including payment of fees, staking, and participation in governance voting. Currently, the market price of ERA is approximately $0.95, a price point that may just be the initial stage of the market beginning to recognize its potential. As more blockchain projects integrate into the Caldera platform, the intrinsic value of ERA is expected to be further realized.

From a long-term development perspective, the price of ERA tokens reaching a range of $2.7 to $3 by the end of the year will reflect a reasonable return to its system value. This expectation is based on the continuous expansion and improvement of the Caldera ecosystem, reflecting the market's recognition of its technological innovation and application prospects.

The emergence of Caldera is reshaping the landscape of Layer 2, providing new solutions to the problem of blockchain interoperability. It not only optimizes collaboration among various Layer 2 solutions but also injects new vitality into the development of the entire blockchain ecosystem. With more developers and users joining, Caldera is expected to become an important force in promoting the widespread adoption of blockchain technology.
