🌋 Caldera bi-weekly recap [sep 15 – sep 31, 2025]

sep 18 → introducing the Caldera Strategic Reserve: a dedicated reserve of $ERA aimed at strengthening long-term network growth. the reserve accumulates $ERA by converting liquidity streams (enterprise partnerships, fees, funding). initial phase: 3.9M $ERA purchased and locked. no withdrawals planned — this is a long-term commitment.

sep 30 → SANDchain goes live on Caldera. built by The Sandbox, it’s the first creator-focused chain on Caldera, powering loyalty, funding, and creator tokens across a $250B economy.

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.
