CASPER IS ETHEREUM 3.0 !
Casper continues to take important strides.
Do you really know what Casper is?
Ethereum announces another delay for 2.0: eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4345. Why we believe that @Casper_Network is the closest to Ethereum 3.0.
#CSPR 👍👍👍
What I learned from Medha;

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater 1/11 What is Ethereum 3.0? Ethereum 3.0 includes eWasm for smart contracts, and follows on the 2.0 feature set. 2.0 includes CBC Casper PoS and side chains for scaling.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater 2/11 Our understanding is that 2.0 will include Casper FFG, which finalizes blocks created by Proof of Work. This is not pure Proof of Stake. Ghasper is the proposed Casper variant for 3.0 and is still in research.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater 3/11 @Casper_Network uses The Highway Protocol for consensus. Highway is a pure Proof of Stake protocol with formal proofs for both liveness and safety. It is partially synchronous and uses fault tolerance thresholds to finalize blocks.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater 4/11 The Highway Protocol is the first and only provably live and safe variant of CBC Casper that meets as many of the requirements of Casper possible without sacrificing liveness or safety.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater 5/11 The Highway Protocol was conceived as mathematical proofs first, then translated into code, then verified in an audit by @TrailofBits. Casper is the only protocol to publish the audit transparently: bit.ly/3joV8nO

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater @trailofbits 6/11 @Casper_Network mainnet is the only running network that implements CBC Casper today.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater @trailofbits 7/11 In addition to using pure CBC Casper Proof of Stake, @Casper_Network also uses wasm for smart contract execution. This is a core feature of Ethereum 3.0

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater @trailofbits 8/11 Casper also supports smart contract execution in multiple contexts. This is also a feature planned for Ethereum 2.0 but still unimplemented. ​​ethresear.ch/t/eth-executio…

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater @trailofbits 9/11 In addition to all of this, Casper also supports a Hard Hat workflow out of the box, powerful accounts and natively upgradeable or immutable smart contracts.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater @trailofbits 10/11 Why are other PoS protocols not Ethereum 3.0? Because they are using statistical instead of provable safety, or use classes of validators, where some are more equal than others, or somewhat centralized, implementing some form of DPoS - like EOS.

@Casper_Network @Casper_Labs @MParlikar @scottwalker99 @GhostStaking @sacherjj @cliffsarkin @Casper_Chat @Casper_Pad @RandiDrinkwater @trailofbits 11/11 We are the only protocol that is live with CBC Casper. That’s why we believe we are Ethereum 3.0 - because we are extending Ethereum. It isn’t a question of whether Casper can keep up with Ethereum, it’s whether Ethereum can keep up with Casper.
