If I just graduated today, with no money, no resources, no background, but want to do something of my own.
In the past, I might have:
• Open a public account, create short videos, take private jobs, and be a freelancer;
• Or get caught up in big companies, KPI battles, and the 35-year-old crisis...
But if it were now, knowing Caldera, I would do one thing:
Directly open a company on-chain, have your own chain, an open-source application, and get started!
Don't laugh, I'm serious.
🏗 Caldera = Entrepreneurship platform + Network infrastructure + Incentive network
If you haven't heard of Caldera, let me explain briefly:
It's not a project, nor a certain Rollup chain.
It is a complete 'on-chain entrepreneurship system'.
You can be here:
• 3 minutes to launch a chain: no need to understand architecture, just click on modules to deploy;
• Naturally connect to traffic: Caldera's Metalayer will link you into a multi-chain collaboration network;
• Users can seamlessly shuttle: others can transfer assets to your chain from other chains;
• Have a native income model: gain traffic/use incentives/governance rights through ERA.
Isn't this just the combination of 'Shopify + Stripe + AWS' on-chain?
💡 So why do I say to 'start a company on-chain'?
Because Caldera makes everything low-cost + composable + collaborative.
You are no longer:
• Launch a DApp on a certain chain while being 'under someone else's roof';
• Be harvested, charged, and restricted by platform rules;
But can be:
• Define the rules, Gas, and incentive mechanisms of your own chain;
• Connect the data and assets of other chains within the Caldera ecosystem;
• Collect fees from ERA settlements and voting rights to support your own project;
You are not a developer; you are a builder in this chain universe, part of the system.
🪙 ERA is the 'on-chain settlement and governance token' in this system.
ERA is not a tool for speculation, but:
• Communication costs between chains;
• Your qualification ticket to connect to Caldera;
• Anchors for data priority and traffic channel weights in the network;
Simply put:
If you want the 'company to operate' well, you need to know how to participate in resource scheduling with ERA.
Instead of staring at coin prices every day and shouting: 'Will ERA go up?'
🎓 Why is this particularly suitable for fresh graduates/young developers?
Because we didn't have big funds, background, or connections from the very beginning.
But Caldera gives you:
• Open permissioned on-chain entrepreneurship tools;
• Connect user resources of the ecosystem;
• Clear value capture methods (ERA);
You just need to have an idea, some code, and a bit of passion.
You can just throw a chain, a gameplay, or a model up and let it run.
Isn't this more promising than writing PPTs for VC, changing KPIs, and competing for job hopping?
🎯 Leave a question:
If you just graduated today, have time, passion, and understand code,
Will you try to 'build your own system' on-chain, or continue to hustle in someone else's app as a KOL?
