CBC Casper

[decanus]

CBC Casper started as a proof-of-stake blockchain consensus protocol but has since evolved into a more general branch of research. It has been a while since I personally looked into this consensus protocol so it would probably make sense to look back into it.

The main goal of this thread is to research CBC Casper and create a general understanding which should later be summarized in a research post.

Questions

• How exactly does CBC Casper work?
• What can CBC Casper be used for?
• What are some improvements & changes being made to CBC?
• How does CBC differ from other consensus protocols used for public blockchains?
