The Road Ahead for Casper

See what’s next as we continue building a scalable, secure, and enterprise-ready blockchain.

Roadmap

01.

Casper 2.0: Polaris Launch

April 12,2025
Deployed

Delegation Management Improvements

  • Enhanced flexibility for delegators to switch validators

  • Streamlined undelegation and redelegation processes

  • Improved performance for high-volume delegation scenarios

Validator Set Adjustments

  • Dynamic validator slots based on network conditions

  • Improved liveness and security with better validator rotation

  • Introduced penalties for prolonged inactivity

Upgrade to Wasm Runtime

  • Updated WebAssembly engine for better contract execution speed

  • Reduced gas consumption across smart contract calls
