The Casper Network is a blockchain platform designed to accelerate the global adoption of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and decentralized applications (DApps). It is the first live Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain built on the Casper CBC specification, with its mainnet launched on March 30, 2021. Casper aims to address the growing demand for intuitive and interconnected services, ushering in a new era of Web3 innovation. Its architecture is future-proofed to evolve with changing user needs, making it a versatile choice for developers and enterprises alike.
One of Casper's key achievements is solving the blockchain adoption trilemma by providing enterprise-grade security, scalability, and decentralization. The platform introduces an energy-efficient blockchain standard that is 136,000% more efficient than Bitcoin, setting a benchmark for environmentally sustainable blockchain solutions.
The Casper Network is distinguished by its Correctly Constructed (CBC) Casper specification, which facilitates rapid adoption of blockchain services across all enterprise levels. The use of PoS consensus ensures high scalability while delivering robust database management capabilities.
The native token, CSPR, underpins Casper’s ecosystem by supporting transactions, validator rewards, and network incentives. The Casper platform and the CSPR token are the results of years of research and development by CasperLabs. CasperLabs also provides enterprise-grade services and support to organizations building on Casper, fulfilling a role similar to Red Hat in the Linux ecosystem.
