On March 31, 2021, Casper mainnet went live with its genesis block, and with it, the Casper blockchain was born with a clear purpose: to become a real-world-ready network capable of bridging decentralized technology to everyday life.

Ever since, Casper has grown block by block, powered by a strong community of builders, validators, and users.

Today, as we celebrate Casper’s 4th anniversary, and with Casper 2.0 soon coming to mainnet, we share the excitement of seeing that vision become reality.

Thank you for being a part of the Casper community.
