Casper (CSPR) is the native coin of the Casper Network, a layer-1 public blockchain designed to make the technology friendlier for businesses and developers. Its ticker is CSPR. In simple terms, it's a project that aims to offer a blockchain that's easy to upgrade and build on, with a focus on real-world enterprise use rather than just speculation.
Frequently asked questions
What is Casper and how is it different from other blockchains?
Casper is a proof-of-stake layer-1 blockchain built with the CBC Casper consensus research in mind, and its smart contracts are written in WebAssembly (WASM), which lets developers code in familiar languages like Rust instead of learning a niche language. Its main pitch is upgradability: the protocol is designed so that new features can be added without hard forks. That makes it more attractive to enterprises that need predictable, evolving infrastructure.
How does Casper's consensus mechanism work?
Casper uses a Highway protocol, a variant of proof-of-stake where validators bond CSPR to propose and finalize blocks. Instead of a strict block-by-block chain, Highway allows validators to work on multiple blocks in parallel and converge on finality, which improves flexibility and throughput. Validators earn rewards for honest participation, and their stake can be slashed for misbehavior.
How is CSPR issued and what's the supply like?
CSPR has no fixed maximum supply — new coins are minted as block rewards for validators and delegators, so the supply grows gradually over time. This inflationary model is meant to incentivize network security rather than scarcity. Rewards depend on how much CSPR is staked overall, so the effective issuance rate varies with participation.
How can you store and use CSPR?
CSPR can be stored in the official Casper Wallet browser extension or in hardware wallets that support the network. Beyond holding, you can delegate your CSPR to validators to earn staking rewards, or use it to pay fees for transactions and smart contract execution on the network. Make sure to use only official sources when downloading a wallet, since fake extensions are a common scam vector.
