$0.00081338The world of crypto is rich with projects that specialize in different fields: DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, and so on. It’s even more fascinating to look at new blockchains that appear on the market and immediately attract the attention of crypto enthusiasts. One of such blockchains is Casper Network.
From the perspective of developers who actually decide if, when and how to use a particular blockchain, certain key features are missing from most Layer-1 chains. This has hindered the widespread adoption of blockchain in application environments and enterprises. Casper Network has been designed to solve this gap, being a dev-friendly enterprise blockchain.
Casper is a Layer-1 blockchain that makes it as easy as possible for enterprises to build blockchain-enabled products and services. In its essence, it’s a new Turing-complete smart-contracting platform, backed by a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and WebAssembly (Wasm). The network is permissionless, decentralized and public. The Highway Protocol is the consensus mechanism that upholds the Casper network. On its official website, its developers claim that Casper has been designed ‘to accelerate enterprise and developer adoption of blockchain technology today and evolve to meet user needs in the future.’ The blockchain aims to support enterprise applications without compromising cost, decentralization, or security.
Casper facilitates the upgradability of smart contracts that have already been deployed on-chain, reducing the need for complex and costly migration processes while also streamlining the process of quickly patching smart contract vulnerabilities detected within a system. Such functionalities are a marked departure from how smart contracts have historically been developed on most other enterprise blockchains, which have usually not allowed smart contracts to be edited by anyone — including the original developers — once deployed. Upgradability features can help businesses to build resilient and scalable blockchain-based products and services that adapt to changing customer needs and shifting business priorities.
In addition, many enterprise blockchains only allow binary (on or off) smart contract access permissions for users, which can make it difficult for larger teams to effectively work together and manage complex applications and systems. By contrast, the Casper Network’s weighted keys feature allows enterprises to establish more granular, multilevel system access permissions, which can make it easier to ensure the security and quality of the organization’s assets.
CasperLabs started in late 2018, invested over a year in research alone to support the formal proofs for the Highway Protocol, and then wrote its blockchain codebase over an 18-month period. Casper entered testnet in March 2020 and launched its mainnet in March 2021.
Since the launch of Casper’s mainnet in March of 2021, the network has been upgraded with five releases. The team continues to provide feature upgrades in response to requests from the community and Casper Association. Future releases include ‘fast synchronization’ in release 1.5 — which enables new nodes to join the network without replaying blocks from Genesis.
In 2022, the Casper Ecosystem will be upgraded to support Casper 2.0 — an ambitious release that intends to provide several scalability features including Highway 3.0, host-side DeFi features as well as contracts that can stake the network and pay for smart contract execution.
Since launching mainnet on March 31, 2021, Casper has seen notable growth and decentralization, with its total circulating supply of 4.1+ billion tokens. Despite more tokens than ever being in circulation, the number of tokens staked on the network is the highest, topping 8 billion (including unlocked but not circulating CSPR) — a strong sign that the community is holding CSPR and securing the network via staking.
Recently, the team behind Casper created a separate organization called the Casper Association. With Patrick Storchnegger as its chairman, the Casper Association is the nonprofit entity that oversees the ongoing evolution and decentralization of the Casper Network. It provides resources to help accelerate the adoption of Casper and its growing ecosystem of decentralized applications.
In its first year since launch, Casper has run two successful global hackathons in partnership with Gitcoin — The Friendly Hackathon & Ready Player Casper — featuring more than 1,600 developers.
On an interesting note, in March 2022, Casper teamed up with WiseArt, MAKE, and actress Brooke Shields to mint the first-ever non-fungible token (NFT) in outer space.
Earlier, CasperLabs announced a partnership with His Highness Sheikh Juma bin Maktoum Al Maktoum's SJM Group of Companies to establish their local presence to facilitate use for the Casper’s Network in the UAE. The partnership is the latest milestone in CasperLabs’ expanding presence in the Middle East and North Africa.
At the moment, Casper is one of the largest PoS chains with 16,000 unique delegators; over 70,000 accounts, 480,000+ contract deploys, 385,000+ native CSPR transfers, and 180 community validators competing for 100 slots to secure the network. An increasing number of developers are choosing to build products and services on Casper, ranging from non-fungible token (NFT) and gaming projects to DeFi infrastructure and Know Your Customer (KYC) solution providers.
Casper (CSPR) is Casper’s native network token, which is used to power and secure the network, as well as reward validators for processing on-chain transactions via Casper's PoS consensus mechanism. Casper coin was first issued via an initial public token sale through CoinList, although it is now available on several popular crypto exchanges.
CSPR coin has been assessed by various crypto prediction websites, including TechNewsLeader and PricePrediction.
According to TechNewsLeader estimates, by 2025, CSPR token price will rise to $0.15 and almost reach a dollar in 2030, stopping at $0.96.
Crypto experts atPricePrediction believe that in 2025, CSPR crypto will cost between $0.12 and $0.14, and if their predictions are correct, then in 2031, Casper coin price will soar to a minimum of $1.08.
