Caldera launches on-chain scaling program; ERA token listed on Arbitrum One.

Caldera has announced the launch of its "Onchain Expansion Program," a long-term initiative aimed at expanding the ERA token to more networks, liquidity venues, and user groups. As the first milestone of this program, the ERA token is now available on Arbitrum One, Ethereum's largest Layer 2 network.

ERA token officially launched on Arbitrum One

ERA tokens are now natively available on Arbitrum, one of the most active ecosystems in the cryptocurrency space. To support this launch, Caldera has created a liquidity pool on Uniswap within Arbitrum One, allowing users to trade ERA against USDC on that network.

This liquidity pool offers deep permissionless liquidity from day one, allowing users to seamlessly trade ERA within their familiar on-chain environment. Furthermore, user-facing applications such as wallets and bridging aggregators can also integrate ERA on Arbitrum.

Caldera Metalayer Technology Drives: Second-Level Cross-Chain Interoperability and Unified Liquidity

This expansion benefits from Caldera Metalayer, a unified multi-chain infrastructure that abstracts away the typical fragmentation issues in cross-chain and token deployment. With Metalayer technology, ERA bridging can be completed in seconds, users can obtain consistent standard ERA assets on supported chains, liquidity flows smoothly across the ecosystem, and applications can be combined across chains without fragmentation.

Users can perform ERA cross-chain bridging operations through bridge.caldera.xyz.

The core objective of the expansion plan

The on-chain scaling plan is designed around three core objectives:

1. ERA should be available wherever developers build and users transact; supporting more chains means reducing friction and enabling broader usability.
2. By intentionally expanding liquidity on Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks, the foundation of the entire Caldera ecosystem is strengthened, including the ecosystem chain, applications, and Metalayer itself.
3. Multi-chain deployment is not just about the existence of tokens, but also about embedding ERA into the workflows, incentive mechanisms, and infrastructure of the ecosystem in which modern applications reside.

Next steps

The Arbitrum launch is just the beginning. In the coming months, the on-chain scaling plan will introduce more ERA deployments covering major execution environments, deeper liquidity programs and cross-chain market-making support, extended integration with the Caldera ecosystem chains, and more trading venues powered by Metalayer's instant cross-chain functionality.
