CASPER

What is Casper? ​ Casper is a new Turing-complete smart-contracting platform, backed by a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and WebAssembly (Wasm). The network is a permissionless, decentralized, public blockchain

The network's consensus protocol is called Highway, and it has several benefits over classic Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols.  Highway allows networks to reach higher thresholds of finality, meaning that more blocks are finalized, and validators agree to add them to the blockchain.

How does Casper work?​ Casper relies on a group of validators to verify transactions and uphold the network. Unlike Proof-of-Work networks, which need to centralize validators for economies of scale, Casper allows for the geographical decentralization of validators. 

Why Casper? Casper is designed to accelerate enterprise and developer adoption of blockchain technology today, while also maintaining the flexibility required to evolve and meet user needs in the future.

1. Scalable 2. Secure 3.  Flexible  4. Interoperable 5. Customisable 6. predictable

Casper Labs lowers the barrier to entry for blockchain adoption by providing professional services and support for businesses building on Casper.
