🌋 2025 Wrapped — Caldera 2025 was a huge year for Caldera. What we shipped: - 20+ mainnets launched + countless testnets - Rollup Engine expanded across Arbitrum, Optimism, and ZKsync - 3 new products launched: > Metalayer — ecosystem connectivity & intent-based interoperability > Metatokens — native cross-chain assets > Stablecoin Module — white-label stablecoins (with Ethena) - $ERA launched - Strategic Reserve established And this is only the beginning. 2026 will be even bigger.

🌋Excited to announce that our partners Espresso Foundation will be allocating a portion of their token to the Caldera ecosystem at their TGE. Over 2% of $ESP's total supply is being dedicated to the Caldera community. Holders and stakers of $ERA will be key recipients of the airdrop. 👉 x.com/Calderaxyz/status/2001403671071068531

The Caldera Strategic Reserve: a dedicated reserve of $ERA intended to strengthen the long-term growth of the Caldera ecosystem. The Reserve accumulates $ERA by converting various liquidity streams into $ERA. This ensures that as adoption scales, value flows back into the network. The Foundation has begun accumulating $ERA during the initial phase and have purchased 3.9M tokens, which were previously traded on the open market, that are now being locked in the Reserve. https://x.com/Calderaxyz/status/1968476644349472825
