About

What Is Casper (CSPR)?

Casper is a decentralized public blockchain network. The Casper network's consensus and transaction validation processes are open and accessible to anyone. The one problem seen in blockchains is the issues faced when multiple transactions happen at one time. Casper solves this problem for development teams by assuring that the network is optimized for security and scalability through a high transaction throughput. 

According to the whitepaper, the network aims to speed up business operations by utilizing blockchain technology and offering unique features such as predictable network fees, on-chain governance, privacy,  flexibility, and developer-friendly languages. Casper makes it possible to upgrade on-chain smart contracts, thereby eliminating the need for complicated migration processes and making it easier to address the smart contract flaws. Also, the blockchain is backed by a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm for added security. 

The Casper network's native token is CSPR. Users of Casper use CSPR to pay network fees for on-chain transactions. Each token transfer, for example, costs 0.0001 CSPR, and the amount transferred must be 2.5 CSPR or greater.

History of Casper (CSPR)

Casper's whitepaper was released on January 19, 2021, and was written by Daniel Kane, Andreas Fackler, Adam Gągol, and Damian Straszak. The Casper Association is a non-profit organization that manages the Casper network's continued expansion and decentralization. It provides resources to help accelerate Casper's adoption and support the development of its decentralized application ecosystem. Patrick Storchenegger is the chairman of the Casper Association. Ralf Kubli and Daniel Biesuz are the directors of the Casper Association.

How Are New Casper (CSPR) Created?

As stated in the documents, Casper is a proof-of-stake blockchain that uses CSPR to reward validators that secure and maintain the network using the PoS consensus process. The Casper network can accommodate up to 100 validators (participating users). The figure was designed to establish a balance between decentralization and performance. As development progress and performance improves, this platform parameter can be enhanced through upgrades. To begin staking and collecting rewards, validators must win a staking auction in which they compete with present and potential validators. Except for a waiting time to unlock the staked tokens, this process is permissionless, which means validators can join and exit the auction at any time. 

Apart from this, Casper uses staking to allow token holders to earn rewards and participate in the system. To stake tokens, users need access to a CSPR token wallet. Users can use the CasperLabs Signer tool. The Signer serves as your CSPR wallet, securing users' accounts and assisting users with tasks such as staking, un-staking, and sending tokens to another account.

Further, users can receive rewards by participating in the protocol without running a Casper node (a network that stores a copy of the blockchain). Users can delegate or allocate their CSPR tokens to a particular network node operator. A commission is kept by the node operator, which is a percentage of the earnings generated from the user's staked tokens. By participating in the protocol, users may contribute to the network's decentralization and security while also earning incentives. The base annual reward rate is 8% of the total supply.
