INTRODUCTION

The Casper Network is a Proof of Stake layer 1 blockchain that aims to enhance the use of blockchain technology by companies, individuals, and enterprises. The Blockchain intends to permit developers to create decentralized apps without bothering about scalability, security, or decentralization.

The Blockchain is based on a future-proof architecture that constantly evolves in response to the needs of users and developers creating decentralized applications and smart contracts. Casper Network also supports WebAssembly, allowing developers to interact with the Blockchain in any language, such as JavaScript or Python.

The Casper Network Blockchain's Consensus mechanism is referred to as Highway, and it has more advantages than the most widely adopted Byzantine Fault-Tolerant protocol.


HISTORY AND FOUNDERS

Medha Parlikar and Mrinal Manohar of CasperLabs started the company in 2018. In March 2021, Casper launched its main net along with the Casper Association, a nonprofit group whose goal is to manage the decentralization and growth of the network. Casper Network promotes itself as the improved version of Ethereum, which changed to the PoS mechanism in mid-September 2022.


REASON TO BUILD THE PROJECT

Casper was made to solve or reduce the number of problems. For one thing, the network was created to make the process of onboarding easier. The network lowers technical barriers, which lets more businesses use blockchain solutions in their business models.

For the other, the network offers a safe alternative to the centralized markets. The platform runs as an open-source network that has been approved by a number of third parties and the community. Due to the fact that all network processes are visible, open-source projects give greater transparency and are regarded as a superior investment option.

The problem of scaling is also solved by Casper thus making it easier for developers to put smart contracts on a blockchain.


BASE OF PROJECT

Casper is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS)-based blockchain. Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks use much less energy and are easier to expand than Proof-of-Work (PoW) networks. The removal of miners from the validation process enables them to perform services with less energy. Instead, tokens are staked by regular users to protect the network. They are rewarded for their efforts with CSPR. The more tokens you stake, the greater your benefits will be.


USE CASE

CSPR is the native token of the Casper Network that can be used for transactions. It plays crucial functions in the Casper ecosystem, including:

  • Used to reward validators who assist in network security.

  • Used to stake to become a delegator and get a share of validators' rewards

  • Used to pay network fees
