A
A
B
Thanks
so
much
ashley
for
that
great
introduction,
so
without
any
further
ado,
let's
go
ahead
and
kick
it
off.
We've
got
some
exciting
topics
to
cover
today.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
joining
today.
Those
of
you
who
have
joined
before
you
know
who
I
am
I'm
meta-
parlocar,
the
cto
and
one
of
the
co-founders
of
labs,
the
company
building
the
casper
network.
Today,
I'm
pleased
to
have
ashok
our
director
of
professional
services,
cliff
sarkin,
our
ceo
and
saeed
al
damarki,
head
of
business
development
for
mena.
B
So
today
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
about
a
little
bit
about
enterprise
and
then,
after
we
discuss
enterprise,
we'll
dive
in
as
ashley
said
into
dubai
and
then
we'll
round
it
out
with
our
technical
update.
So
you
know:
we've
gone
on
record
a
lot
saying:
casper
is
all
about
enterprise
right,
and
so
why
is
that
right?
B
We've
built
tools
in
the
protocol
that
support
the
things
that
enterprises
need
in
order
to
govern
their
own
chain
code,
and
we
built
this
blockchain
for
builders
by
builders
right
when
we
look
at
a
protocol
and
we
think
what
are
the
things
we
really
need
in
order
to
build
an
application
or
build
a
business
that
uses
blockchain
technology.
What
are
the
features
that
are
essential?
B
It
became
really
clear
to
us
that
the
current
protocols
in
the
market
were
lacking
a
lot
of
core
things
that
were
needed
and
the
most
important
thing
being
is
being
able
to
control
your
on-chain
code,
your
contracts
right,
and
so
today
you
know,
you
know
whenever
you
build
a
startup,
you
think
about
the
product,
and
you
have
some
theories
and
you
have
some
hypotheses
and
it's
really
gratifying
to
hear
you
know
from
our
business
development
team
who
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
here
to
talk
about
the
feedback
that
they're
getting
right
so
ashok
and
cliff
and
syed
have
been
talking
to
enterprises
about
the
casper
protocol
and
I'd
love
to
hear
from
you
guys.
C
Yeah
happy
too
nice
to
be
on
a
community
call
thanks
for
having
me
meta,
really
really
great
to
be
here,
yeah
and
I
think,
what's
really
exciting.
Let
me
let
me
start
off
well.
Let
me
first
introduce
myself
for
those
that
that
I
haven't
met
yet
I'm
I'm
cliff
sarkin,
I'm
the
co
and
head
of
business
here
at
casper
labs
and
what
there's
a
few
things
that
that
make
this
moment
really
exciting
for
us.
C
Start
experimenting
with
it.
You
know
when
we
first
started
and
we're
talking
about
building
a
purpose-built
blockchain
for
enterprise
two
and
a
half
three
years
ago,
a
few
enterprises
that
were
talking
about
it,
but
that
has
really
evolved
a
lot
during
the
time
we've
been
building,
and
it's
kind
of
gratifying
to
know
that
we're
launching
our
mainnet
at
a
time
where
enterprises
are
are
really
willing
to
talk
about
what
blockchain
can
do
for
them.
C
For
for
businesses,
where
it's
applicable,
where
there
is
lots
of
transactions
or
where
they
need
to
display
publicly
or
semi-publicly
certain
information
and
blockchain
can
potentially
do
that
cheaper
or
more
securely
than
their
current
centralized
versions.
So.
C
The
the
flexibility,
the
product
features
the
kinds
of
code
that
we
can
work
in,
and
so
exactly
what
we've
been
building
is
kind
of
perfect
perfect
for
this
moment,
so
so
that
kind
of
sets
the
stage
a
little
bit
of
background.
Sorry,
I
skipped
that
part.
I'm
a
tech
entrepreneur.
I
went
to
law
school
once
upon
a
time,
but
but
building
and
scaling
really
exciting
new
technology
companies
on
the
business
side
is
what
I
love
to
do,
and
so
I'm
super
excited
to
be
here.
C
D
Thanks
cliff
very
excited
to
be
on
my
first
casper
community
call
hi
everybody.
My
name
is
saeed
aldermaki,
currently
a
head
of
mina
for
casper
labs.
My
background
is,
I
previously
worked
at
abu
dhabi
investment
authority,
which
is
one
of
the
largest
global
sovereign
wealth
funds.
I
had
a
great
understanding
of
traditional
asset
classes
and
traditional
investments
and
the
finance
system
and
banking
system
etc.
D
And
then,
four
years
ago
I
was
introduced
to
bitcoin
and
cryptocurrencies
by
one
of
my
partners
in
alphabet
fund,
which
is
a
regulated
crypto
fund
that
we
co-founded
four
years
ago
and
that's
how
I
started
my
journey
in
the
crazy
and
wonderful
blockchain
and
crypto
space
learned
a
lot
over
the
years
had
developed
a
key
network
of
contacts
and
then,
a
few
months
ago
I
was
introduced
to
the
casper
team
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
to
be
on
the
advisory
board
and
I
took
that
opportunity
with
both
hands.
D
And
you
know
I
did
as
much
as
I
could
to
support
the
team.
And
last
month
the
team
and
cliff
mernal
and
neil
came
to
dubai,
and
we
just
got
along
really
well,
and
I
helped
I
helped
them.
You
know
meet
a
lot
of
really
important
people
in
the
space
and
also
a
lot
of
different
government
folks
and
different
private
sector
corporates
as
well
and
and
since
then,
we've
been
working
together
and
and
luckily
they
kind
of
offered
me
the
opportunity
to
to
head
up
the
mena
region.
D
B
Indeed,
we
are
so
you
know
grateful
to
have
you
as
part
of
the
team
saeed,
so
welcome.
Welcome
aboard.
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
dubai
trip,
so
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
plans
for
the
mina
region.
D
Yeah,
so
I
mean
the
main:
the
main
trip
purpose
was
to
attend.
The
blockchain
focused
and
d5
focused
conference,
which
the
casper
casper
labs,
sponsored
and
mernaud
gave
an
excellent
presentation,
and
I
was
on
a
panel
discussing
defy-
and
I
hinted
towards
how
casper
network
can
get
involved
with
the
defy
element
of
things,
and
you
know
the
guys
when
they
were
here.
D
They
just
saw
how
you
know
how
the
the
government,
from
the
top
down,
was
very
much
supportive
of
blockchain
technology
in
general,
and
was
you
know
already
adopting
the
technology
in
different
different
sectors
and
different
areas
here
and
in
terms
of
regulation
in
terms
of
crypto
assets
in
general?
There's
there's
been
a
lot
of
ground
work
done
over
the
last
few
years,
and
you
know
the
central
bank
and
the
onshore
regulator
are
very
much.
D
D
So
when
the
team
you
know
saw
that
you
know
the
environment
was
perfect
for
for
blockchain
here
and
also
on
top
of
that
dubai
and
the
uae
is
kind
of,
like
you
know,
a
travel
hub,
because
a
lot
of
the
travelers
stop
off
in
dubai
to
go
if
they're
coming
from
the
west
to
go
towards
the
east
and
the
other
way
around.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
like
a
tourist
hub
as
well:
commercial
hub
and
blockchain
hub.
Definitely
so
the
guys
in
the
team.
D
You
know
they
were
super
excited
at
what
they
saw
and
they
felt
that
you
know
we
definitely
should
have
a
presence
in
the
region
specifically
in
the
uae.
So
you
know
that's,
that's
part
of
my
remit
is
to
is
to
you
know,
to
set
up
set
up
base
here
and
then
start
off,
maybe
with
having
a
tech
lead
on
the
ground
and
then
develop
get
some
engineers
on
the
ground.
D
The
plan
is
to
kind
of
start
some
partnerships
with
the
strategic
companies
and
strategic
consulting
companies
on
the
ground
here
and
talk
to
the
relevant
corporates
and
government
entities,
and
you
know
find
specific
use
cases
like
two
or
three
very
focused
and
specific
use
cases
where
you
know
the
casper
network
can
definitely
you
know,
add
value
to
these
government
entities
or
corporates
here
and
then
just
build
on
that
and
then
gradually
spread
out
from
dubai
to
abu
dhabi.
D
To
you
know
the
gcc
countries
like
saudi
bahrain
and
then
move
on
to
you,
know
the
greater
middle
east
and
north
africa
eventually.
So
I'm
super
excited
that
you
know
casper
is
you
know
looking
to
to
to
have
a
very,
very
well
established
presence
here
and
I
feel
very,
very
passionate
about
the
journey
that
we've
started
here
and
I
think,
there's
great
things
to
come
in
the
very
near
future.
Here.
C
You
know
I
I
kind
of
came
in
along
with
manala
our
ceo
and
a
few
other
members
of
the
team,
and
we
met
a
lot
of
people
through
through
saeed's
network
and
kind
of
after
the
trip
or
by
the
end
of
the
trip.
I
kind
of
we
kind
of
saw
some
real
fundamentals
happening
there
and
then
also
some
fundamentals
in
the
way
casper
works,
which
I'll
just
describe
in
a
second
that
make
this
a
perfect
region
for
us.
C
So
so,
first
of
all,
it
became
abundantly
clear
if
we
didn't
know
already
that
you
know
the
the
uae,
the
seven
emirates
are,
you
know
it's.
It's
government
is
involved
in
almost
everything.
It's
a
small
country,
but
a
powerful
and
wealthy
country,
but
the
royal
family
and
the
royal
families
in
each
of
the
emirates
are
really
involved
in
almost
all
aspects
of
society
which
makes
it
a
great
country,
like
all
the
systems,
work
really
well
like
the
from
getting
to
the
airport,
to
the
hotel.
C
It
just
felt
like
everything
was
really
aligned
and
smooth
and-
and
everyone
seemed
happy-
which
was
also
a
great
experience,
but
it
also
means
that
when
you
do
business
there
that
it's
it's
much
easier
than
a
completely
free
market
where
you
need
to
go
to
every
single
business
and
every
single
government
agency,
it's
it's
a
lot
easier
to
transact,
because
it's
a
system,
that's
more
streamlined
and
and
simple
to
understand.
So
so
that
makes
it
really
enticing.
If
we
can
get
involved,
it's
it's
easier
to
do
business.
C
There
number
two
like
say
mentioned:
the
the
country
is
very
technology
forward,
they're,
always
embracing
new
technology.
You
know
everything
from
the
you
know
the
ports
to
the
airlines
to
the
the
way
people
transact.
C
It
really
feels
like
they're,
adopting
technology
ahead
of
a
lot
of
countries,
or
at
least
they're
they're,
on
the
forefront,
and
that
includes
blockchain
right
they've
been
talking
in
the
uae
and
the
middle
east
about
blockchain
for
a
long
time,
but
they
haven't
yet
found
the
right
blockchain
solution
for
a
lot
of
their
systems,
and
I
think
part
of
that
is
what
I
was
referring
to
earlier.
Is
there
hasn't
yet
been
in
the
market
until
casper
a
truly
enterprise-grade
purpose-built
enterprise
blockchain?
C
So
they
when
we
had
our
meetings
and
we
were
talking
about
the
functionality
that
we
have
flexible
payment
codes
and
weighted
key
management,
and-
and
you
can,
you
know
right
now-
code
in
in
rust
and
typescript
and
soon
other
languages.
All
of
this
their
eyes
open
and
said
we
didn't
know.
C
C
That's
been
building
the
casper
network
up
until
the
point
that
it's
at
right
now
right
so
most
of
our
employees
are
developers
phds,
economists,
what
we've
built
is
really
difficult,
and
I
give
so
much
credit
to
ashok,
ashoka
meta
and
all
the
developers
on
the
team
for
the
hard
work
they
put
in
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
three
years.
But
once
we
launch
mainnet,
you
know
the
analogy
that
I
like
to
give
is
that
you
know
we.
C
We
gave
birth
to
the
casper
network,
we
as
casper
labs
and
we've
raised
it
and
we've
taught
it
how
to
exercise
and
eat
well
and
and
be
a
good
person
and
the
launch
of
maynet
is
us
sending
our
kid
off
to
college
and
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
call
her
and
check
in
with
her
and
contribute
to
the
network,
but
she's
going
to
be
out
there
and
she's
going
to
decide
what
she's
going
to
do
with
her
time
and
other
developers
are
going
to
add
to
the
blockchain.
C
And
you
know
it's:
it's
now
going
to
be
a
fully
decentralized
network.
So
that's
the
casper
network.
So
what
does
casper
labs
become
post
casper
network
mainnet
launch
the
the
main
business
for
us
at
casper
labs
is
going
to
do,
is
going
to
be
a
development
shop,
a
professional
services,
consulting
firm
to
help
enterprises
build
on
chain.
So
certainly
developers
are
going
to
build
applications
on
casper
without
casper
labs
ever
meeting
them.
C
There
might
be
the
casper
version
of
crypto,
kitties
or
decentralized
exchanges
and
all
things
that
we
don't
have
anything
to
to
do
with
or
any
involvement
with.
But
if
there
are
enterprises
that
want
help
building
on
casper,
they
can
come
to
casper
labs
and
actually
work
with
the
engineers
and
developers
that
built
the
network.
C
And
when
we
explain
this
to
the
potential
partners
in
the
middle
east,
their
eyes
lit
up
they're
like
wait.
So
you're
not
just
coming
and
handing
us
a
blockchain
and
saying
go
have
at
it.
You're
going
to
you're
going
to
be
here,
helping
us
and
like
we're
like
we're.
Not
we're
not
just
going
to
be
here,
helping
you.
We
we
have
a
country
and
regional
managing
director
and
his
name
is
saeed
he's
the
guy
on
the
call
and
we're
going
to
build
a
team
and
we're
going
to
hire
local
talent
on
the
marketing
side.
C
On
the
customer
service
side
on
the
development
side
and
we're
going
to
be
with
you
every
step
of
the
way,
because,
while
while
they're
blockchain
curious,
they
still
don't
know
how
to
actually
build
on
chain
and
us
coming
in
and
offering
not
just
a
state-of-the-art
blockchain,
but
also
that
level
of
support
and
hands-on
assistance
is.
Is
I
think,
what
really
excited
all
the
people
that
we
met
over
there?
E
C
E
I
had
a
couple
of
points
to
whatever
I
just
said.
You
know
and-
and
I
in
my
previous
level,
at
google
I
have-
I
had
some
experience
working
with
meena
and
dubai,
and
I
know
how
efficient
you
know:
the
systems
there
are
and
how
eager
they
are
to
get
onto
new
technology
and
new
new
business
opportunities
and
and
really
excited
about
having
our
connections
made
there.
One
of
the
things
that
I
realized
and
say
the
talked
about
it.
E
A
little
bit
is
that
when,
when
we
build
out
a
solution
for
say
dubai
or
one
of
the
countries
we
will
we
are
going
to
find
it
pretty
easy
to
have
the
adoption
in
other
part
of
the
pinna
region
and
say
they
can.
You
know
maybe
correct
me
there,
but
this
is.
This
is
an
experience
that
I
have
and
it's
just
the
way,
the
whole
all
the
countries
act
and
kind
of
synchrony
and
learn
from
each
other.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
beneficial
for
for
us
as
well.
B
For
everyone,
yeah
for
absolutely
for
everyone,
one
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
is
the
the
technology
right.
So
one
of
the
unique
things
about
the
casper
protocol
is
it's
extremely
extremely
customizable
right.
So
we've
built
the
protocol
in
a
manner
where
we
have
the
public
chain,
the
girl
that
we're
setting
off
to
college.
But
then
we
can
also
build
permissioned,
private
and
consortium
chains
without
needing
to
make
any
changes
to
the
core
code
base
right.
B
It
is
very
easy
for
us
to
configure
the
system
and
and
do
these
deployments
for
enterprise
companies
and
enterprise
customers
that
have
very
specific
requirements,
so
we're
in
a
really
excellent
place
from
a
company
perspective
on
the
technology
front,
to
really
design
a
solution
that
these
enterprises
need.
That
is
purpose-built
for
their
business
right
and
the
core
protocol.
B
The
core
virtual
machine
again
provides
all
the
tools
that
are
needed
in
order
to
build
applications
and
with
confidence
right
and
and
to
be
able
to
upgrade
them
and
manage
them
and
maintain
them
at
the
speed
that
business
needs,
and
this
is
a
really
important
distinction
between
the
casper
labs.
I
mean
the
casper
protocol
and
other
protocols
out
there
right.
So
I
think
we
have
some
information
about
a
strategic
partnership
here
cliff.
Do
you
want
to
talk
cliff
and
ashok?
You
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
acdx.
C
C
They
it's
a
very,
very
seasoned
team.
In
fact,
the
founder
andy
chung
was
the
former
ceo
of
ok
ex,
and
he
left
a
couple
years
ago
to
start
acdx,
which
is
they
do
spot
trading,
but
kind
of
their
niche
is
in
the
derivatives
market,
and
so
there
are
really
great
things
we
can
do
with
with
derivatives.
C
That
will
really
help
our
chain,
and
you
know
one
of
them
that
we're
super
excited
about
is
to
to
do
a
like
a
prediction
derivative
for
our
transaction
fees
for
our
gas
prices,
and
so
we're
working
with
them
right
now
to
to
create
very
soon
upon
token
trading,
which
is
scheduled
for
may
10th
may
10-11,
is
to
include
this
kind
of
unique
offering
on
their
derivatives
exchange,
which
which
will
really
benefit
everyone
on
the
chain.
C
And
and
there's
also
super
other
exciting
things
we're
talking
to
them
about.
You
know,
in
addition
to
to
this
particular
idea
around
around
derivatives.
You
know
these
guys
are
experts
at
building
exchanges,
so
we're
already
beginning
discussions
around
a
potential
decentralized
exchange
on
casper,
the
casper
swap
you
know
there.
C
There
are
a
lot
of
great
and
exciting
things
that
are
going
to
be
built
on
casper
now
that
the
mainnet
is
set
to
launch,
and
so
everyone
everyone
stay
tuned
for
some
really
exciting
things,
both
with
acdx
and
and
outside
of
our
partnership
with
them.
B
Amazing,
how
about
I
give
a
technical
update?
Now
I
think
it's
time
we
didn't
do
haven't
done
a
technical,
a
really
robust
technical
update
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
go
through
the
current
status,
so
the
team
is
executing
its
first
weekly
into
the
21.04
release
cycle.
This
work
portion
of
this
work
is
going
to
be
around
bug,
fixing
and
hardening
features
for
mainnet.
B
We
are
planning
on
launching
mainnet
march
22nd.
Our
custody
provider
requested
an
additional
week
to
do
production
production
grade
testing
for
wallets,
so
we're
getting
ready
for
the
wallet,
integra
wallet
integration's
done.
We
just
need
to
test
in
production,
and
the
idea
is
that
for
some
of
the
vft
holders,
we
would
like
to
generate
their
keys
using
this
custody
provider
to
just
provide
them
an
excellent
onboarding
experience
at
genesis.
So
that's
why
we
push
the
date
back
by
seven
days.
B
We
will
be
doing
a
dry
run
with
the
genesis
validators
sometime
in
the
next
seven
to
ten
days.
We
want
to
do
this
a
couple
of
times
before
we
launch
mainnet,
with
the
actual
genesis
block.
So
myself,
neil
and
ashok.
We
are
heads
down
in
working
with
the
vft
holders
to
get
those
keys
generated,
get
the
tokens
all
set
up
to
be
staked
with
delegators
right.
All
the
tokens
that
have
been
sold
in
the
private
sales
must
be
staked
at
launch
and
they
have
to
remain
locked
for
a
minimum
of
90
plus
90..
B
This
has
been
discussed
in
the
other
community
calls.
So
if
you
want
details
about
the
token
and
the
token
offering
please
do
go
to
youtube
and
check
out
our
community
call,
I
believe
it
was
just
last
week
that
we
held
that
call
on
behalf
of
the
association.
So
please
do
check
that
out.
B
So
we
are
preparing
the
genesis
block.
We
will
make
that
genesis
block
the
accounts
in
the
genesis
block
available
for
review
by
all
persons
that
are
involved
in
the
network,
so
everybody
can
see
what
the
balances
are
and
what
those
public
keys
are.
So
that
is
the
intention,
so
everybody
has
clarity
and
comfort
around
the
launch.
B
We
cut
tag
v0.90
with
the
rust
node
on
march
2nd,
and
that
is
deployed
for
internal
testing.
We
have
made
a
couple
of
patches
there.
We
are
testing
performance
of
the
node
internally,
as
well
as
the
connectedness
right.
We
had
some
issues
in
delta
test
net
with
the
networking
layer
with
block
listing.
We
rolled
out
a
patch
for
that
and
we
saw
very
good
results.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
validators
that
are
offline
in
delta
and
that's
causing
the
slowness
in
delta.
B
So
if
you're
like
scratching
your
head
as
to,
why
is
delta
so
slow?
The
reason
for
it
is:
we've
got
a
lot
of
dead
validators
that
haven't
been
ejected
from
the
protocol.
Now
v0.90
has
dead,
validator
ejection
built
in
so
when
we
bounce
delta,
which
we
are
planning
on
doing
this
week
for
delta
11,
we're
going
to
do
two
things
we're
going
to
have
some
example.
B
We
have
an
example,
genesis
block
that
is
really
close
to
what's
going
to
happen
in
mainnet,
so
we
have
procured
and
anonymized
some
of
the
token
balances
and
assigned
those
to
the
top
50
uptime
nodes.
We
went
out
and
you
probably
heard
from
kavma
that's
taylor,
our
level
3
support,
engineer
he
reached
out
this
week
and
acquired
public
keys
and
those
nodes
will
be
locked.
So
you'll
be
subject
to
the
90
plus
90,
lock
period,
because
that
is
implemented
in
the
auction
contract.
B
All
bids
are
locked
for
the
first
90
days,
so
those
those
will
need
to
stay
up,
but
we've
also
got
an
opportunity
for
another
25
or
so
people
to
bond
in
and
to
try
to
wrestle
for
seats
in
the
auction,
so
that
will
be
happening
this
week.
The
purpose
of
that
really
is
to
put
the
networking
layer
under
some
real
load.
We
have
over
630
nodes
in
the
network,
fantastic
engagement,
we're
so
grateful
to
the
community
to
be
hopping
on
there
and
spinning
up
nodes.
B
So
we
can
test
everything
once
we
do
that
in
parallel
or
very
shortly.
After
that,
we
will
have
the
genesis,
validators,
basically
bounce.
You
know,
bounce
up
their
production
equipment
with
the
latest
code
and
start
doing
some
production
readiness
testing.
So
we
can
ensure
that
they
can
monitor
and
manage
the
node.
If
I
have
my
way,
they
will
also
test
an
upgrade
and
they
will
actually
also
test
social
consensus
and
social
consensus
is
what
the
network
will
go
through
in
the
event
of
a
critical
failure.
B
So
again,
our
philosophy
at
casper
has
always
been
casper
labs,
rather
to
provide
the
core
capabilities
at
the
protocol
level,
so
that
contract
authors,
validators
and
the
community
can
use
this
technology
to
build
what
they
need
to
build
and
do
what
they
need
to
do
right.
That's
really
our
philosophy,
and
similarly,
with
social
consensus,
we're
providing
the
tools
for
the
community
to
help
the
protocol
grow
and
evolve
and
reach
social
consensus
in
the
unlikely
event
of
a
critical
consensus.
B
Failure
right,
so
we
want
to
provide
the
validators
the
tools
and
train
them
on
on
this
tooling,
on
how
to
use
the
tools
in
the
event
they
ever
need
to
recover
from
a
critical
failure,
so
really
important
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
over
the
next
several
weeks.
Now
for
the
first
60
days
post
launch,
every
everything
will
be
locked
up.
There
will
be
no
liquidity
whatsoever,
so
the
blockchain
will,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
be
running
with
empty
blocks.
B
We
think
this
is
a
very
good
thing
and
it'll
give
validators
a
chance
to
get
really
comfortable
with
the
operation
of
the
protocol
before
the
floodgates
open
up
post
sale.
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
technical
pieces,
so
let
me
scroll
this
my
other
screen
as
well,
so
current
focus
performance,
hardening
and
production
engineering
work.
B
Production
engineering
is
the
discipline
of
putting
the
system
under
load
until
it
breaks
in
specific
test
environments
and
then
updating
your
monitoring,
logging
and
management
of
the
system
so
that
you
can
identify
failures
in
advance
of
them
happening
highway.
We're
looking
at
the
exact
around
success
meter
constants
to
the
config.
So
what
this
means
is
what
we
learned
is
that
80
of
rounds
need
to
be
successful
in
order
for
the
protocol
to
speed
up
and
because
we
don't
have
dead,
validator
ejection
we're
going
to
fine-tune
this
and
put
this
configuration
option
into
the
chain.
B
Spec
dot
configuration
outside
of
the
code.
So
presently
it's
hard-coded
in
the
code
to
be
80,
we're
going
to
rip
that
out
and
we're
going
to
put
it
into
chain
spec
configuration,
so
the
network
can
be
configured
and
managed
by
the
validator
set
moving
forward
in
the
node
rust,
removing
the
air
supervisor
from
the
joiner.
This
is
a
big.
This
is
a
pretty
significant
refactor.
This
is
likely
not
going
to
be
in
mainnet.
B
This
is
going
to
be
the
post-mainnet
release
that
will
happen
sometime
around
the
end
of
april,
we're
also
building
another
prototype
joiner
for
fast
synchronization.
We
will
be
deploying
a
fast
synchronization
and
likely
state
pruning
as
part
of
our
first
release.
Again.
This
is
to
make
the
node
very
efficient
and
to
operate.
Efficient
efficiency
and
sustainability
is
really
important
to
us
from
an
engineering
perspective
test
in
sre,
we're
focused
on
supporting
test
net
and
we're
validating
our
devnet
testnet
and
mainnet
deployment
processes
in
mainnet.
B
We
will
not
be
running
a
bonded
node,
so
the
mainnet
trusted
node
ip
addresses
for
those
of
you
that
are
familiar
will
only
be
the
community
validators
right.
It
will
not
include
a
casper
node
as
the
bootstrap
again.
This
is
an
important
thing
of
sending
our
baby
girl
off
to
college
right.
So
we
are
not
going
to
be
there.
I
will
be
there
watching
carefully
and
will
be
supporting
their
their.
You
know
their
coordination
activities,
but
we
will
not
be
running
a
bonded
node
in
the
network.
B
We
will
be
running
a
bonded
note
in
the
test
net,
so
we'll
be
de-provisioning
delta
11.
That
will
be
the
mark
at
the
end
of
the
delta
test
net
incentivized
test
net,
and
we
will
be
spinning
up
the
official
zug
test
net
that
will
exist
in
perpetuity
alongside
mainnet
and
the
dev
dow
will
play
a
big
role
in
this.
B
They
will
have
control
over
the
faucet
and
they
will
be
managing
basically
an
incentive
program
for
people
to
spin
up
nodes
in
the
network,
so
contact
the
devdao,
that's
devxdow.com,
if
you're
interested
in
participating
in
test
net
we're
working
on
our
nc
and
ctl
and
test
at
support
and
extensions.
This
is
how
you
can
do
localized
testing
and
running
a
localized
simulated
blockchain.
B
On
the
ecosystem
front.
We
are
refactoring
our
js
sdk.
We
had
to
build
that
sdk
out
very
quickly
to
support
our
custody
provider,
but
now
we
know
that
we
need
to
refactor
it
and
make
it
clean.
That's
happening
in
the
casper
dash
ecosystem
repository.
It's
not
happening
the
casper
lab
system
repository
rather
because
that
is
something
that
we
are
building
out
for
the
broader
ecosystem,
we're
enhancing
the
signer
and
we're
improving
the
dsl.
B
On
economics,
we're
focused
a
lot
on
the
senior
age
rate.
This
is
what
alexander
is
building
out
right
now,
we're
taking
a
look
at
the
amount
of
bond
at
stake,
we'll
have
at
mainnet
and
alex,
is
really
focal
focused
on
figuring
out
what
the
senior
edge
is
going
to
look
like
alex.
Can
you
give
any
hints
and
as
to
the
range
for
senior
age,
people
have
a
lot
of
questions
around
the
inflation
rate
and
what
it's
going
to
look
like.
F
You
know,
the
final
number
you
know
depends
in
large
part
on.
You
know
what
feed
the
side
we
believe
you
know,
the
you
know,
average.
You
know
delegation
is
going
to
be
in
the
system
right,
so
I
mean
looking
around
at
other
networks
that
allow
delegation.
It
seems
that
you
should
expect
this
number,
be.
You
know
pretty
high
right,
so
maybe,
like
you,
know,
80
to
90
percent
of
all
tokens
out
there
essentially
going
to
be.
You
know
delegated
at
any
given
time.
F
So
in
practice,
in
our
projections,
you
know,
especially
given
the
yields
that
we're
targeting
for
validators.
This
means
that
you
know
total
supply
growth
in
the
system
probably
is
going
to
be
around
like
five
to
six
percent
a
year.
B
Okay,
that
sounds
about
right
and
we're
not
using
the
term
yield
here,
but
really
it's
you
know
just
the
what
kind
of
rewards
they
can
expect
right
based
on
their
stakes,
so
we're
expecting
that
validators
will
want
about
a
fifteen
to
twenty
percent
reward
rate
for
their
stake
and
with
eighty
percent
of
the
token
staked
right.
That's
a
very
bullish
outlook,
yeah
five,
five
to
seven
percent
sounds
about
right.
Five
to
six
percent
sounds
about
right.
B
So
thank
you
for
that
that
that'll
help
give
folks
some
idea,
but
again
do
look
for
an
official
announcement.
You
will
be
hearing
an
official
announcement
from
us
about
all
of
these
matters.
We
appreciate
the
community's.
You
know
flexibility
and
allowing
us
to
run
these
analyses.
So
we
can
really
get
everything
right
right.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
very
conscientious
and
doing
the
necessary
analysis
before
we.
You
know
we're
not
going
to
do
things
willy-nilly
for
lack
of
a
better
term
so
moving
forward.
B
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
auction
contract
run
time,
so
in
the
contract
runtime,
this
is
the
vm,
so
we
are
making
some
enhancements
of
persist.
Senior
age
recipients
directly
in
the
try.
This
is
about
around
the
auction
contract
state
we're
trying
to
reduce
the
footprint
of
the
auction
contract
state
itself.
So
we're
going
to
store
this
information
directly
in
the
try
store,
delete
nodes
in
merkle
try.
This
is
again
state
pruning
right
now.
The
merkle
tri
does
do
a
deep
copy.
Whenever
there
is
a
change
in
america.
Try.
B
This
makes
it
not
very
efficient
right
and
we've
had
to
tell
validators
that
we're
going
to
be
a
disc
hog
until
we
get
state
pruning
in
place
and
then
pad
representation
of
air
id
keys
for
length
consistency.
I
think
this
is
an
internal
just
an
internal
consistency
and
making
sure
that
everything
is
really
deterministic
so
launch.
B
As
I
talked
about
we're
getting
the
process
of
creating
the
genesis
block,
we've
got
the
genesis
validator
set
and
staking
providers
put
together,
which
we'll
offer
to
our
vfta
holders
and
we're
creating
the
starting
balances
and
participants
will
have
the
opportunity
to
review
and
provide
us
feedback
and
the
trial
run
delta.
This
is
more
like
delta
test
net
delta.
11
is
planned
in
the
next
couple
of
days
and
the
release
candidate
has
been
cut
and
we
are
just
patching
it.
B
B
So
with
that,
should
we
consider
going
to
community
questions,
anyone
have
anything
to
share.
A
Yes,
so
one
question
the
community
had
was
how
important
is
mena
to
casper
and
crypto
as
a
whole,
so
this
one's
for
you,
saeed
or
cliff.
C
Well,
if
you're
muted,
I
was
testing
everyone's
lip
reading
ability
yeah,
I
I
can
start
sayid
and
then
and
then
you
can
and
you
can
complete
the
the
short
answer
is
it's
very
important
for
all
the
reasons
we
mentioned
just
how
technology
forward?
They
are
how
much
they're
embracing
blockchain
and
how
much
they
seem
to
love
our
offering
and
our
structure.
C
You
know
when,
when
we
think
about
our
our
go
to
market
and
our
and
our
global
expansion,
you
know
we
are
a
fully
decentralized
global
enterprise,
both
the
network
and
and
casper
labs.
You
know:
we've
been
decentralized
from
the
start
which,
which
meant
dealing
with
the
pandemic,
actually
wasn't
wasn't
a
big
hiccup
for
us.
We've
been
used
to
all
working
from
wherever
we
are
from
from
the
beginning,
and
the
whole
globe
is
important.
There
is
no
region,
that's
not
important!
C
That
said,
when
we
think
about
going
to
market
around
the
world,
it
would
be
foolish
for
us
to
try
to
be
in
every
country
in
every
region
on
the
ground.
You
know
with
a
staff
from
day
one.
We
think
that
that's
a
recipe
setting
us
up
for
failure.
Just
you
know,
we've
all
heard
the
expression
like
growing
too
fast.
C
If
we
try
to
hire
187
country
managers
in
in
one
month,
it's
bound
to
to
lead
to
failure,
and
so
what
we've
done
as
casper
labs,
you
know,
while
while
the
casper
network
is
of
course,
going
to
be
global,
validators
can
join
the
network
from
wherever
they
are
in
the
world
and
we
certainly
might
see
enterprises
that
we
work
with
from
other
regions.
C
You
know
what
we've
done
for
the
near
term
the
next
year
you
know
year
and
a
half
or
so
is
identified
five
four
main
regions
where,
where
we're
really
going
to
be
focused
and
have
you
know,
boots
on
the
ground,
and
that
is
the
west,
which
we
kind
of
you
know
kind
of
group
together.
C
North
america
and
europe
is
kind
of
one
one
region
in
the
west
as
one
china
to,
and
this
isn't
in
order
of
importance.
This
is
just
listing
them.
The
west
one
china
to
south
korea,
three
and
the
middle
east
north
africa
region
four,
and
these
will
be
the
regions
where
we
actually
have
regional
managers.
C
In
addition
to
saeed
in
mena,
we
do
we
do
have
a
country
managing
director
in
china
and
soon
one
in
korea,
and
then
a
lot
of
us
are
in
either
europe
or
north
america,
and
so
all
of
those,
I
think,
have
a
particular
importance
because
we
are
going
to
have
local
folks
on
the
ground.
But
you
know,
let
me
stress
that
this
doesn't
mean
that
other
regions
aren't
important.
Africa
is
really
important.
South
asia,
india
and
the
rest
of
the
south
asian
continent
is
really
important.
C
Russia
is
important,
but
what
we'll
do
is
set
up
the
structures
to
make
sure
that
in
those
first
four
regions,
we
learn
a
lot
of
lessons
about
how
to
grow
and
then
soon
after
we've
done
that
we'll
grow
to
those
other
regions.
D
Maybe
I'll
just
add
to
that
I
mean
previous
to
joining
casper
labs.
To
me,
I
think
blockchain,
adoption
in
the
middle
east
and
north
africa
is
of
extreme
importance.
Personally,
even
more
so
in
the
uae.
I
really
want
to
see
the
uae.
You
know
adopt
the
technology
to
the
fullest,
and
I
think
that
you
know,
as
as
most
of
the
economies
in
the
middle
east
and
north
africa
are
developing
economies
for
in
order
for
them
to
kind
of
accelerate
the
the
growth
of
the
economy
and
kind
of
compete
with
all
the
other
major
global
economies.
D
I
think
technology
is
the
biggest
enabler
and
I
believe
that
you
know.
Blockchain
technology
in
general
is
definitely
a
very,
very
big
enabler
in
terms
of
specifically
financial
services
and
other
different
different
sectors
where
blockchain
technology
is
very
useful
for,
but
I
think
at
casper
labs,
I'm
really
happy
that
you
know
we
have.
You
know
considered
the
mena
region
as
an
important
region.
D
It's
a
very
extremely
fast
growing
region
and
I
think
there's
plenty
of
opportunities
here
and,
and
you
know
with
with
the
level
of
enterprises
here,
I
think
if,
if
most
of
them
adopt
casper
network,
then
then
you
know
that
that
level
of
usage
on
on
casper
network
will
be
high
and
and
subsequently
that
will
not
just
you
know-
benefit
casper
labs
as
a
company,
but
that
will
also
benefit
casper
token
holders
as
well
in
the
long
run.
B
Couldn't
agree
more,
I
think
this
is
just
fantastic
and
I
applaud
you
know
the
mena
countries
for
adopting
blockchain
technology
and
recognizing
the
importance
both
for
their
security
as
a
nation,
as
well
as
for
their
consumers
and,
and
you
know
their
constituents
as
well
so
man
I
wish
the
u.s
would
follow
suit.
B
A
B
Okay,
so
I
can
definitely
answer
that
question
so
with
respects
to
evm
type
chains
and
cosmos
type
chains.
We
chose
to
interrupt
at
one
point
only
which
is
like
is
at
the
key
level,
so
we
felt
that
the
user
interaction
was
really
important,
so
we
do
support
ethereum
key
sec,
p256
k1
keys
natively
within
the
casper
blockchain,
and
we
also
have
the
capability
of
really
adding
any
other
type
of
encryption
scheme
right.
The
global
state
or
the
account
notion
within
the
casper
vm,
doesn't
really
care
about
what
type
of
key
it
is.
B
You
can
handle
all
of
that
on
the
client
end,
which
is
a
really
you
know
very
interesting.
You
know
architectural
decision,
so
it
enables
say,
for
example,
if
you
want
to
do
you
know,
if
you
have
a
user
application
or
an
application
that
is
currently
working
with
ethereum
or
some
other
blockchain,
and
you
are
managing
user
accounts,
you
don't
need
to
create
separate
keys
just
for
casper.
B
We
can
use
those
existing
keys
and
you
just
handle
it
on
your
end
on
the
client
side,
in
terms
of
how
you
sign
transactions
right,
so
the
casper
client
doesn't
care
the
casper.
I'm
sure
the
casper
client
presently
cares
that
we
need
to
be
enhanced
to
support
your
new
encryption
scheme,
but
the
global
state,
the
blockchain
and
the
vm
doesn't
care
also
with
respect
to
smart
contracts.
We
do
not
support
running
an
evm
in
our
instance
for
a
myriad
of
reasons
right.
B
We
want
all
contracts
in
the
global
state
to
be
able
to
interrupt
with
each
other,
so
we
do
not
run
an
evm
instance
within
the
casper
protocol.
However,
it
is
possible
to
transpile
your
solidity
contracts
over
to
the
rust
casper
dsl.
Now
the
cast
filer
is
still
just
a
prototype.
We
are
looking
over
the
next
several
months
to
release
a
full
production
version.
B
B
B
Well,
the
casper
cargo
cargo
casper
sdk
provides
a
casper
runtime
environment
that
enables
you
to
create
unit
tests
that
are
run
directly
within
the
ide,
so
you
can
do
really
interesting
things
like
assertions
and
have
a
full
unit
test
integration
suite
for
your
contracts,
including
setting
up
your
starting
blockchain
state
right,
so
you
can
actually
define
what
is
the
starting
state
of
your
contract
and
then
run
a
bunch
of
tests
against
that
starting
state,
and
this
is
super
important
when
it
comes
to
building
a
robust
contract,
you
don't
need
a
full
node
to
test
your
contract.
B
Of
course,
before
you
deploy
to
production,
we
always
recommend
that
you
run
your
contract
in
a
test
net
and
see
how
your
application
performs
against
a
real
blockchain
right,
because
there
is,
you
know,
potential
delays
that
may
happen
or
finality
signatures
that
you
need.
So
you
do
need
a
response
back
from
the
validating
nodes,
but
you
don't
really
need
to
do
this
from
the
very
beginning
as
you're
developing
your
contract.
So
I
hope
I
covered
a
few
questions
in
that
bit.
Ashley.
E
Yes,
what's
your
point
to
add
there,
I
am
I'm
already
getting
interest
from
community
members
to
build,
build
casper,
my
transpiler,
so
there
is
already
interest
from
community
to
to
build
on
that.
B
A
Yes,
so
how
can
developers
build
excellent
contracts
that
are
secure.
B
B
Correct
so
again,
the
test
harness
right
plays
a
role
here.
Yes,
I
can
hear
you
the
test.
Harness
plays
a
big
role
here
right,
so
you
can
actually
step
through
your
contract
and
see
how
it
is
running
in
within
the
global
state.
You
can
run
assertions
and
observe
what
the
contract
is
doing
at
the
global
state
level
in
a
local
ide.
E
We
also
provide
nctl
meda,
where
you
can
run
up
or
you
know,
spend
up
a
local
network
to
test
out
things
and
then
the
test
net.
So
there
are
levels
you
know
you
can.
You
can
use
to
kind
of
harden
your
contract.
B
Correct
that's
right,
but
I
think
the
key
is
being
able
to
peek
into
what's
happening
in
the
global
state
right
being
able
to
peek
into
the
internal
variables
of
your
contract.
This
is
where
you
can
identify
these
kinds
of
vulnerabilities
next
question:
ashley,
I'm
trying
to
get
through
as
many
questions
as
we
can
here.
Sorry.
B
Yes,
so
this
is
an
interesting
question,
so
the
way
casper
is
permissionless
is
we
have
this
thing
called
the
auction
contract
and
the
auction
contract
takes
in
a
specification
of
the
number
of
validator
slots
that
the
protocol
will
support.
This
is
part
of
the
chain
specification.
B
It
can
be
changed
through
social
consensus
and
upgrades
and
what
happens
is
then
for
a
given
number
of
validator
slots,
the
contract
will
select
the
top
n
number
of
slots
within
the
auction
based
on
total
stake.
Now
this
is
a
combination
of
delegated
stake
and
validator
stakes,
so
you
could
purchase
your
validator
stake
and
then,
if
you're,
really
a
big
crypto
influencer,
you
could
have
all
kinds
of
people
that
trust
you
and
have
faith
in
your
ability
to
operate
a
node
delegate
to
you
and
you
can
win
a
slot
in
the
auction
contract.
B
We
felt
this
was
a
really
important
way
for
token
holders
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table
in
selecting
and
having
a
role
in
who
the
validator
set
is
token.
Holders
can
actually
actively
fight
whale
formation
and
actually
vote
out
certain
validators
if
they
feel
they're
not
providing
excellent
service,
and
they
can
do
this
by
custodying
their
own
keys
and
participating
directly
in
the
auction.
A
Next
question
and
then
our
final
question:
are
we
going
to
be
using
an
easy
wallet
like
metamask.
B
There
are
plans
to
build
a
meta
mask
type
plug-in
for
cspr
and
the
community,
and
the
dev
dow
has
a
grant
for
this.
I
believe
I
think
wal
wolfe
is
on
the
call,
and
he
could
probably
keep
me
honest
here,
but
I'm
quite
certain
that
there
is
already
a
grant
in
place
for
this.
B
So
if
you're
interested
in
building
a
meta,
mask
type
plug-in
reach
out
to
the
dev
dao
at
devx,
dao
and
sign
up
to
be
an
associate
and
you
can
participate
in
building
that
out
we're
also
working
on
our
ledger
integration.
The
ledger
integration
will
be
a
little
ways
away,
but
expect
a
ledger
integration
for
the
clarity
block
explorer.
As
you
know,
clarity
does
support
the
creation
of
keys
and
we
are
planning
to
have
a
ledger
integration
for
this
application.
B
There's
a
couple
other
questions
around
how
inflation
will
work,
so
casper
will
have
the
casper
public
network
will
have
inflation
and
it
will,
you
know,
be
used
to
reward
validators
for
participating
in
consensus,
so
they'll
need
to
actually
actively
participate
in
finalizing
transactions
in
order
to
receive
their
rewards.
B
What
is
the
maximum
minimum
token
for
your
delegation?
As
far
as
I
know,
there
is
no
cap,
we
are
planning
and
encouraging
there
to
be
an
even
distribution
of
tokens
so
that
there
isn't
a
lot
of
stake,
aggregated
on
any
single
physical
instance.
That
way,
if
a
physical
instance
experiences
a
critical
failure,
it
doesn't
adversely
harm
consensus,
but
this
is
not
yet
implemented.
We
plan
on
implementing
this
in
a
future
release
cliff,
were
you
going
to
say
something.
C
I
just
you
know
we
get
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
in
telegram
about
the
total
supply
versus
inflation,
and
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
the
10
billion
tokens
that
are
you
know
minted
at
genesis,
you
know-
are-
are
the
total
so
like
initial
supply
and
that
the
only
and
and
that
not
all
of
them,
are
going
to
be
circulating
at
launch
that
you
know
we
have
a
graph
on
that's
available
to
everyone
to
see
on
our
landing
page
at
coin
list.
C
That
shows
the
the
total
supply
that's
circulating
in
the
market
over
time
and
as
tokens
become
unlocked.
So
it's
not
all
10
billion
in
supply
right
away
and
that
the
only
increase
to
that
10
billion
number
is
through
seniorage
or
through.
You
know,
staking
rewards
to
validators
that
we're
not
going
to
create
any
other
tokens
that
they
will
never
be
created
out
of
thin
air,
that
it's,
the
10
billion
plus
validator
rewards
over
time,
and
that's
it
for
our
our
supply.
B
That's
exactly
right,
yep.
I
also
saw
a
question
about
how
we
are
different
than
ethereum
right,
so
I
think
the
biggest
way
to
discuss
our
differences
between
ethereum
is
that
we
support
on
chain
contract
and
code
governance
right.
We
provide
on-chain
tools
to
govern
contracts,
and
what
does
this
mean?
This
means
you
can
choose
to
upgrade
your
contract.
B
If
you
wish,
you
can
wrap
the
authority
of
upgrading
these
contracts
around
specific
account
holders
through
this
weighted
accounts
and
thresholds
mechanism,
and
you
can
also
govern
your
keys
right
and
who
has
access
to
your
keys.
So
there's
interesting
things
you
can
do
around
social
key
recovery,
which
right
now
actually
shares
private
keys
and
most
of
it's
done
off
chain
on
layer.
Two
with
our
protocol.
B
You
can
actually
do
it
on
chain
right,
and
this
is
these-
are
functions
and
features
that
are
available
within
the
virtual
machine
itself,
as
well
as
