About Casper
Casper is a public blockchain platform that utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. Its core features include Turing-complete smart contracts, predictable network fees, on-chain governance, privacy options, and developer tools. Casper aims to optimize security, decentralization, and high throughput, catering to open-source projects and enterprises.
Background
Casper is a Turing-complete smart-contracting platform, backed by a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and WebAssembly (Wasm). Casper is a permissionless, decentralized and public blockchain. Since its March 2021 mainnet launch, Casper has emerged as one of the most popular layer one blockchains on the market, especially for businesses and government organizations seeking a secure, scalable and decentralized solution that enables upgradeable smart contracts.
The network's consensus protocol is called Highway, and it has some benefits over classic Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols. First, Highway allows networks to reach higher thresholds of finality, meaning that more blocks are finalized, and validators agree to add them to the blockchain. Second, the protocol achieves flexibility by expressing block finality in ways not possible in BFT models. This protocol is built on the Correct-By-Construction (CBC) Casper research. Additionally, the Casper Network is optimized for enterprise and developer adoption. While leveraging blockchain technology, the network seeks to accelerate business operations via unique features like predictable network fees, upgradeable contracts, on-chain governance, privacy flexibility, and developer-friendly languages. Casper's core features and strengths enable developers and enterprises to reap the benefits of blockchain technology. Casper believes to have solved the scalability trilemma. Notably, the network is optimized for security, decentralization, and high throughput. All this is achieved while evolving to provide leading solutions for open-source projects and enterprises. The Casper Network is designed for enterprise organizations with a feature set that allows for flexible permissions, upgradability, energy efficiency, low latency, and high security. Casper is built to withstand and grow along with changing business requirements and developer needs. Upgradeable contracts ensure developers and enterprises can develop their systems incrementally. The development experience ensures non-crypto devs can onboard quickly. This has already attracted multiple enterprises and Web3 teams to develop partnerships with Casper.
Specifically, other/older layer one blockchains have the following issues:
Casper aims to overcome these problems by ensuring:
