Why CasperLabs

• Scale without sacrifice
  CasperLabs provides scalable, secure and decentralized blockchain services — powered by CBC Casper proof-of-stake.
• Easy to use for everyone
  CasperLabs is simple and familiar, removing the barriers to mainstream adoption for developers, validators, and end-users.
• A future-proof foundation
  CasperLabs is upgradeable infrastructure, designed with the foresight to support what you’ve built no matter how technologies and industries evolve.

Build on CasperLabs
Build apps as big as your ambitions. The network will be fast and secure for your applications at real-world scale because it’s powered by Highway, our innovative CBC Casper-based proof-of-stake consensus protocol and our parallel execution engine.

• More efficient
  Most network computing power is applied toward processing transactions instead of proof-of-work mining.
• Designed for public, large-scale, decentralized networks
  Everyone can participate in consensus because the network is permissionless. Bad behavior is punished by slashing stake so it remains secure.
• Natively supports scaling technologies
  We built the network to be upgradeable to support the best scaling technologies: concurrent execution, sharding, and sidechains.

Easy to use for everyone.
Accelerate development and deliver delightful end-user experiences by leveraging popular, well-supported tools and workflows.

• Write apps with the languages, tools, and workflows you already know
  Use any language that compiles to Web Assembly (Wasm) to write apps that run on your computer and the blockchain — such as Rust.
• Get real-time application insights easily
  We built a GraphQL interface right into the platform so your days of node polling and workarounds to get real-time data are over.
• Stay in control of your smart contracts
  Control who can access and run your smart contracts in the global state. And easily manage payments — prepay users transaction fees, or offer a coupon; the choice is yours.

A future-proof foundation.
Innovate and grow confidently with a trusted foundation that you know will support you today and tomorrow as your business evolves.

• Easily forecast the costs of your app
  Build your business model accurately knowing your usage fees are predictable and fixed. Your costs won’t go up just because the network gets busier.
• Versioning, made simple
  Whether its bug fixes or major upgrades, your smart contracts need to evolve over time. With built-in versioning for smart contracts, it’s a snap to upgrade your smart contracts whenever you need to.
• Upgradeable infrastructure
  Say goodbye to slow-moving, inflexible blockchain infrastructure. Say hello to the blockchain thoughtfully planned with the foresight to be upgradeable.
