Binance Launches its 27th HODLer Airdrop
Binance has announced Caldera (ERA) as the 27th project in its HODLer Airdrops program. 20 million ERA tokens will be distributed to eligible BNB holders. Binance HODLer Airdrops reward users who stake their BNB in Simple Earn or On-Chain Yield during the specified snapshot periods. This effort is part of Binance’s ongoing passive earning options.
About Caldera (ERA)
Powering the Next Generation of Blockchain Applications, Caldera marks a major change in blockchain infrastructure as a modular platform focused on rollup technology. It allows developers to create dedicated, application-specific blockchains (“rollups”) that inherit security from major Layer 1 networks while working much more efficiently.
Key Features:
Customizable Blockchains: Developers can tailor every aspect of their chain, from transaction speed to gas fee structures, to match their application’s specific requirements.
EVM Compatibility: Caldera chains maintain full compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine, allowing easy migration of existing dApps.
Shared Security Model: By anchoring to Ethereum or BNB Chain, Caldera rollups benefit from their robust security while avoiding network congestion.
ERA Use Cases:
Gaming: Game studios can deploy dedicated chains with optimized throughput for thousands of simultaneous players and microtransactions.
DeFi Protocols: Complex financial applications can run their own chains with customized fee markets and transaction ordering.
Enterprise Solutions: Businesses can implement private or consortium chains with selective transparency features.
Social Networks: Web3 social platforms can scale to handle massive content uploads while keeping transactions affordable.
Airdrop and Token Distribution
The Airdrop snapshot period ran from July 1 to July 5, 2025. To qualify, users had to hold BNB in either Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked products) or On-Chain Yields during this timeframe.

Token Listing
ERA will be listed on Binance on July 17, 2025, at 15:30 UTC with the following trading pairs: USDT, BNB, USDC, FDUSD, and TRY. The token has a Seed Tag, which means it’s a new and potentially unstable asset.
Deposits will be opened one hour after the official announcement on July 16. Users should know that while ERA was previously on Binance Alpha, it will be removed from that platform once spot trading starts. However, balance transfers will still be possible.
The token works on both BNB Chain and Ethereum networks:
– BNB Chain: 0x00312400303d02c323295f6E8b7309bc30FB6BcE
