“# CasperLabs readies blockchain platform for 2021 mainnet launch with $14M private sale <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

CasperLabs has\u00a0raised<\/a> $14 million in a private validator token sale, with over a dozen investors participating in a round led by Digital Strategies. The company expects to launch its public mainnet in the first quarter of 2021, followed by a public token offering which will exclude U.S. investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2018, CasperLabs raised $14.5 million in an equity Series<\/a> A round led by Terren Piezer. The original plan provisioned for an Exchange Validator Offering on the BitMax exchange, but the recent announcement makes no mention of the exchange.<\/p>\n

Casper started out as a scaling solution for Ethereum (ETH), but eventually, the decision was taken to\u00a0pivot toward building its own proof-of-stake blockchain platform with Turing-complete smart contracts. Thus what started out as a complementary project to Ethereum may soon prove to be one of the dominant smart contract network’s main competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Casper prides itself on providing a user-friendly blockchain for enterprise users. Its consensus protocol, called Correct By Construction (CBC), was designed by former Ethereum Foundation researcher Vlad Zamfir. Like many Ethereum competitors, it postulates a solution to the well-known blockchain trilemma: Scalability, Security, Decentralization; the assumption being that you can have only two out of three.<\/p>\n

CasperLabs suggests that the Casper Delta testnet going live this month will be their final testnet before the launch next year.<\/p>\n

There has been a recent revival of compliance-focused token offerings in the blockchain space, although nothing resembling the ICO frenzy of 2017 and 2018. For instance, Emin G\u00fcn Sirer\u2019s Avalanche raised $42 million back in July.<\/p>\n
