$ERA Pre-Claim Guide
This guide provides all necessary information for the official $ERA token pre-claim process. The pre-claim is a mandatory step for all eligible participants to secure their token allocation. It is designed as a protective measure to ensure a fair and secure distribution that rewards the genuine community members who have contributed to the Caldera ecosystem. Pre-Claim Window: Open now until Thursday, July 17th, at 12:00AM (midnight) UTC. The claims page has a countdown timer to this date. A Community-First Philosophy
Traditional airdrops have often fallen short of their goal to foster long-term alignment, becoming targets for mercenary capital and Sybil farmers who extract value from the ecosystem. The$ERA
distribution is founded on a different principle: to reward the builders, users, and supporters who share the long-term vision for a unified Ethereum. To honor this, a robust analysis was implemented to identify authentic participants. This pre-claim process is a deliberate and transparent step towards community ownership, ensuring that $ERA
empowers those who are truly invested in the future of the Internet of Chains.
