Apologies for the technical challenge of switching links, but for just making this work.
Give us a minute or two and then we'll start.
Music and we'll start. you Thank you. One more minute and we'll start. Thank you. All right, I think I'm in.
You there, Michael?
Yes, and we can hear you.
Can you hear me, Matt?
Loud and clear.
I was worried you there with the technical difficulty.
It went a little silent.
All right, good.
I'm glad we're here.
Yes, great.
So shall we begin?
Why don't you kick it off, Matt?
And then I'll go from there.
Yeah, absolutely.
Thanks, Michael.
Hello, everybody.
Hey, thanks for joining.
Welcome to Casper Network's final X-Space of the year,
where we'll review the past 12 months
and what to expect for the road ahead. There's a lot
to cover, so I'll keep my remarks brief before passing it back over to Michael for a deeper dive.
While we face significant headwinds on the macro and industry-specific levels this year,
we've also seen strong improvements, evolving how decisions get made, how the network delivers,
and how real-world adoption ultimately unfolds on the network. Through focused execution across
governance, engineering, and real-world use cases, we've strengthened the fundamentals and delivered
measurable progress that sets the stage for the next phase. Since taking the helm, we've advanced our shift toward on-chain voting and
delegated representation, empowering validators and token holders to play a more direct role in
protocol decisions. In May, the Casper 2.0 mainnet launch delivered the architecture built for real
world workloads, deterministic finality, an upgradable contract model, and technical
foundation required for regulated commercial applications.
Casper 2.1's recent release further optimized performance with faster block times and transaction
fee burning mechanisms, reinforcing both economic design and network responsiveness.
Liquid staking also went live in beta,
which will ultimately allow CSPR holders to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity,
an important step toward deeper DeFi integration and capital efficiency.
The AmeriCorps parking MVP on Testnet, together with market setup partners such as Stowbox,
moves us from concept to execution, demonstrating
how on-chain trust and auditability can serve a major real economy vertical.
And our alignment with standards like Actis ERC3643 and ERC7943 continue to ensure Casper
remains interoperable and compliant as tokenized frameworks mature
globally. With the fundamentals now aligned and focused driving delivery, 2026 is set to be a
defining year from a use case perspective. And with that, I'll hand it over to Michael for a deeper
dive into the roadmap and what's in store next for the network. Thank you.
Well, thank you very much for that introduction and that overview, Matt.
Wow, really, what a year it's been. So while it really has only been just 12 months since
Matt and I were appointed into these roles, quite a lot has happened and it feels like we've sort of fit several years into
this one year. While of course there are, as Matt also mentioned, a lot of external factors such as
crypto market dynamics and sentiment and the larger political and economic macro environments
that really preoccupy many of us on a regular basis, 2025 was also really a year of significant
progress and
accomplishments for this Casper community that we're all part of. I'd like to spend
some time in this X-Space reviewing this year before we get to announcements and updates
of things to come. So let's start with some statistics because many of us like to look
at pretty numbers and metrics are always fun. So for some numbers regarding developments,
this is for the techies amongst you.
In our main Casper network GitHub repository,
so far in 2025, we have made 2,051 commits
with 320,000 net new lines of codes
across our core Casper node and protocol suites.
Similarly, the folks at Make, who contribute so much to our ecosystem with the CSPR product suite, amongst other things,
2025 saw a stunning 15,895 commits with over 800,000 net new lines of code across the Casper related projects. Overall the Make team
published 184 product releases in 2025 which translates to almost
one for every weekday of the year. The leading projects in that list were
Casper Cloud with 32 releases but I think the stat is outdated because I
wrote it yesterday and there was a release today so 33 and Casper Live
with 26 releases respectively. Across the two teams over 1.1 million net new lines of code were shipped
in 2025. Then our friends at Odra who built the leading smart contract development framework for Casper, released nine new versions of their framework going from Odra 1.5 to
Odra 2.4, all in 2025.
We worked with our partners at Halborn Security on safeguarding the security of our network,
and we had them complete nine security audits for us and the various partners developing
on Casper network.
This also includes the massive audit of the Casper 2.0 codebase.
Then on the community front, we are ending the year with 219,600 followers on X and about 49,000
Casperians in our main Telegram group and over half a million participants in CSPR.fans season
so far. We could not be more grateful for this community's enthusiastic support
for the project, which is really our daily motivation to work as hard as we do on bringing
new innovation and opportunities to the network.
Let's talk about core engineering in 2025. Of course, the beginning of the year was very
focused on getting Casper 2.0 to mainnet. By the time I joined the project, Casper 2.0 had been in development for nearly two years,
which obviously was not the intention of the team at the time.
We were quickly able to get core engineering on track
to releasing the first major version upgrade
of the network and the protocol,
and got to integration and test nets in early Q1 of this year.
Then much effort was put in by ecosystem partners
such as Make and Odra and others
to ensure that the upgrade would proceed smoothly
for all ecosystem participants,
including builders, users, and importantly, exchange partners.
And on May 6th of this year,
the mainnet validators activated Casper 2.0 on the network
to much fanfare in a live broadcast on YouTube.
Thanks to solid planning and solid engineering, the upgrade went as smoothly as could have
hoped for, and all apps and exchanges proceeded to work correctly immediately following the
upgrade despite the major architectural changes under the hood of the network.
A lot of this is thanks to the abstraction work
that was done by Odra and Make,
which made it so that integrated apps and exchanges
didn't have to change anything post upgrades.
After briefly celebrating the 2.0 upgrades,
the team immediately went back to work on next versions
of the nodes and protocol.
The team has been diligently working on the new VM, VM2,
which leverages Casper 2.0's innovative multi-execution
environment capabilities.
While this work is in progress, various updates
to the protocol have been released,
including patches with improvements, as well as,
most recently, Casper 2.1, which introduced a 100% speed
increase of the block time and 100% fee burning to mainnet.
Despite the relatively small size of the core engineering team compared to some other ecosystem,
the amount of code and innovation that was shipped this year is super impressive.
And I'm very proud to be a cog in the wheel of Casper's core engineering team.
Their work was also widely recognized by the industry around the time of the Casper 2.0 launch when I was invited to
represent the team in live AMAs with major exchanges such as Gate.io, Bybit,
KuCoin and OKX as well as crypto partners such as Halborn and House of
Chimera. Then on the governance front I mentioned the recent Casper 2.1
upgrades which really was a direct result of the on-chain governance votes
that were initiated by the community.
Having the community have a direct say in the future of the protocol
and the network was one of our top priorities coming in.
We started with launching the governance forum,
where our community actively debates various proposals.
And then we launched on-chain voting.
And I'm proud that in 2025,
the community initiated and completed
a total of six on-chain votes in full transparency
and with every vote implemented
in accordance with the community consensus.
While there's still more work to be done on governance,
something that's sometimes harder than expected
in the Swiss regulatory environment,
we are super happy that every major decision affecting the protocol and the network in 2025
was made by the network participants on-chain in a fully transparent process.
Speaking of collaborative decision-making, the CASPER community put forward and adopted
new standards on the network this year through various CEPs or Casper Enhancement proposals.
Specifically, we saw the collaborative drafting implementation and subsequent launch of CEP95,
a new NFT standard for Casper Network, and CEP96, a new smart contract meta data standard for Casper
Network, which makes it easier for apps to be identified in wallets
and explorers, leading to a more user-friendly experience.
None of this could have been done without the active participation of the community in
the CEP process.
And on the topic of standards, Casper started collaborating with other interested parties
in the broader blockchain community on defining new standards for important primitives in the area of real-world asset tokenization, which is of huge importance
not just to our network and our partners that are building RWA use cases on Casper, but
equally to stakeholders in other ecosystems.
Having modular and interoperable standards is the only way that tokenized real-world
assets can truly achieve the scale we all expect it to.
That's why Casper is proud to be an active member in the ERC 3643 alliance as well as the ERC 7943 alliance, both focused on building the future of the tokenized economy. Casper also continues to work on broader industry alignments through initiatives such as ISO
20022 and the Actus standards.
Then let's talk about this Casper product suite a little bit.
As they have since before Casper's mainnet launch, the team at Make has been relentlessly
focused throughout 2025 on continuing to make sure that Casper Network is the friendliest blockchain for both developers and users alike.
Their work really touched on all aspects of the ecosystem, from the core node on down.
On the community front, Make developed the Casper Fans app, which through its four seasons has helped Casper reach over half a million users worldwide
who were previously not exposed to our ecosystem.
In the beginning of 2025, Season 3 increased the amount of on-chain tasks required to meaningfully participate in Casper fans,
as well as the Phantom Run game.
On the developer infrastructure side of things,
Make was instrumental in preparing the ecosystem
for the Casper 2.0 launch.
As the maintainer of three of the official Casper SDKs,
they made sure that developers who use JavaScript or TypeScript,
.NET or Go, were ready for the Casper 2.0 launch
and could basically sleep through the upgrade
and wake up two weeks later and find
that their applications were still running the way
that they had left them in Casper 1.5.
Then, Casper Click, the front-end library
that allows app developers to quickly bootstrap
a fully Casper-enabled application
with really a single line of code,
continues to innovate in the way that it empowers developers.
As before, with a single SDK integration,
developers gain access to every single crypto wallet that supports Casper without having to care about or handle individual integrations.
In 2025, we added MetaMask to the list of supported wallets as well as Wallet Connect, which aligns Casper with the broader crypto ecosystem.
Most recently, as in yesterday, we announced the availability of social logins
via Casper Click. This feature allows users to create a self-custodial wallet that is
tied to their Web2 credentials with Google, Apple and others.
New users to apps on Casper networks don't have to get over the hurdle of downloading,
installing and configuring a crypto wallet. But instead, they click a button, sign in with an existing Web2 account and are off to the races. This is also massive
for onboarding non-crypto native users into blockchain enabled environments. For developers,
this capability is part of Casper Click and will help them increase their new user conversion,
reduce their bounce rates and improve their retention rates.
In addition to wallet access, Casper Click provides out-of-the-box access to a number of fiat-on and off-ramps,
allowing developers to easily let their users transact into and out of Casper straight from their applications.
Also recently announced for Casper Click is the availability of a proxy service that allows front-end developers to access authenticated APIs and real-time web socket events in Casper Cloud without the need for
a back-end component. This makes it exceedingly easy for developers to create a full-fledged
application on Casper Network. Towards the end of 2025, Casper Click is now the predominant way
with which developers integrate with Casper Network.
Continuing on the developer front, Casper Cloud continues to be the main gateway used by developers
to access indexed and enriched on-chain data. Supporting all applications in the Casper product
suite as well as most apps developed by third parties, Casper Cloud provides access to live
blockchain data via easy-to-use APIs, as well
as real-time event notifications via WebSockets. This allows for the development of rich and
responsive applications on Casper network. Uniquely among similar applications across
other blockchain networks, Casper Cloud provides a deep contextual view into what's going on
in the network and the protocol, making it all but trivial to expose or visualize data
that requires significant post-processing and composition in other environments.
Most recently, Casper Cloud introduced a market data API,
which provides developers with access to real-time price action
for fungible tokens on Casper network.
Moving on, a few months ago,
we open sourced the CSPR.design,
the design library that's used
in all user-facing application in the CSPR ecosystem.
This allows developers to easily create apps
that feel similar to new users,
that feel familiar to new users
because they've used a similar UI in other applications across the network.
All this and more is accessible via the new website at Casper Build
that launched also within the last week or so,
which provides developers with all resources they may need
to get started with rapid development on Casper Network.
Then on the retail side of things, we saw dozens of product updates
across the Casper product suite throughout 2025, including some new product launches. I'll provide
some highlights because it's too much to go over otherwise, but let's start with Casper Live. The
main block explorer for Casper Network recently underwent a major update that took blockchain exploring
to a whole new level.
Under the motto of explore differently, Casper Live breaks the mold that the industry appears
to be stuck in.
The endless tables filled with cryptographic hashes that really no one understands or can
derive any meaning from. Instead, Casper Life now presents blockchain
activity in the form of stories similar to how they exist on social media and in natural
language with clear actors and verbs and subjects. Because humans speak human and not
hex. I'm getting some reports that people can't hear me.
Matt, can you confirm that you can hear me?
I can hear you loud and clear. Okay, well then I'm gonna continue on, take a quick sip and keep speaking.
Moving on to CasperName. So around the summer of 2025, we launched CasperName, the domain name service for Casper Network. Users and companies are able to purchase .cspr
domain names, which then work across the CSPR ecosystem as targets for transactions as well as identifiers.
No longer do you show up as a long 32 character hexadecimal hash, but in my case as michael.cspr.
We also introduced subdomains, allowing companies to designate different addresses for different
employees or departments, or for users to identify different accounts. Just recently, Casper name domain names became fully tradable on Casper Market.
Speaking of which, Casper Market underwent an architectural overhaul this year,
not just to add Casper name trading functionality, but also optimization for Casper 2.0,
the implementation of the CEP95 NFT standard, and the use of new Odra-based smart contracts.
I could go on about other V2 apps in the CSPR ecosystem, but we still have a lot to get
through in this expay, so let me touch on just one more.
One that launched just this last week.
Late last week, I introduced CSPR.guru, a prediction market on Casper Network.
This is an app that I personally developed basically in the span of the last two months
in my obviously copious amounts of free time. That means late evenings and weekends.
I decided to do this because I wanted to personally find out if our claims about being one of the easiest blockchains to develop on were true or whether we were exaggerating.
So I set out to build a prediction market contract with the Odra framework, designed
a front-end using CSPR design system, integrated wallets, network connectivity and fiat on-ramps
using CSPR.click, and data access using Casper Cloud.
And even though I have told many others how easy and straightforward it is to use these tools,
I was still entirely blown away by the ability to just focus on the core functionality of my prediction markets
and not bothering with anything that's necessarily Casper blockchain specific from a protocol consensus or wallet perspective. And I was single-handedly able to
build a fully functional equivalent of Polymarket on Casper Network, which is now available for
anyone to try out on Testnet and we're planning to find its way to Mainnet in early 2026.
If you have an opportunity to try it out,
please do. I look forward to your feedback and of course to your predictions.
Let's talk about the Casper Hackathon 2026. We partnered with DoraHacks, a community of over
a quarter million developers worldwide, and launched a global virtual hackathon last month, now with $40,000 in prizes.
Since launch, we've seen over 300 teams register and already have 18 products that are being built
out in the public, covering categories such as zero-knowledge proofs, perpetuals, gaming,
decentralized trading, and Staking.
Since the launch, we've also seen significant industry from industry parties to co-sponsor
the Casper Hackathon.
Alongside Halborn Security, we previously announced that additional prices were co-sponsored
by NowNotes and NodeOps.
Today I'm happy to announce that ChainGPT is joining the hackathon and contributing
another $10,000 in prizes.
Welcome to the Casper fam, ChainGPT.
Uniquely there is an on-chain voting aspect to this hackathon.
CSPR.fans was redesigned to play an integral role in the Casper hackathon that's currently
ongoing by giving the community a decisive vote in the outcome of the hackathon
through on-chain voting and other activities.
During the first phase of the hackathon, which is scheduled to conclude in early January,
community members use CSPR advanced to earn FAN tokens and then use those tokens to cast votes for the projects that they support. At the end of the first phase, these FAN tokens will determine the qualification for the next round,
alongside some other projects that the Casper Association has the discretion to select.
And in the final rounds, the process will be similar.
Users again earn FAN tokens and send those on-chain to their favorite projects.
To make this part of the experience even more compelling, earn fan tokens and send those on-chain to their favorite projects.
To make this part of the experience even more compelling, today we are announcing a holiday
gift for our entire Casper community.
Anyone who completes at least four tasks and sends at least 800 fan tokens to one or more
projects of their choice will be able to claim a free cspr.name subdomain under the fans.cspr domain.
The details on how to participate in this challenge and claim this free gift will be
available on our channels tomorrow.
The hackathon is scheduled to conclude the week of January 19th, when the winners will
be announced.
We are looking forward to welcoming several exciting new projects to the ecosystem, as well as new developers, builders and users as a result of this hackathon.
Then we announced a lot of new partnerships in 2025,
many of which we now see coming to fruition.
I'm not going to go through all of them, but I'm going to focus on some of the highlights.
Allium.
We announced a partnership with Allium, the leading data provider to the DeFi world.
With their data services, they power most of the DeFi tools that traders are familiar
with, such as DeFi Lama, Uniswap Analytics, and many others.
With new DeFi and RWA use cases coming online on Casper Network,
providing access to our network activity to the broader DeFi world is of great importance.
Allium has recently achieved their initial integration with Casper Network and expects
to complete its integration in Q1 of 2026, after which the broader DeFi world will have full visibility and access to actionable insights on Casper Network.
Then we celebrated this year the return of WISE lending to the network.
WISE has been a longtime supporter of Casper and its protocol, years before I joined the Casper Association,
and I was delighted to help them rejoin our ecosystem.
They have built two DeFi applications for Casper Network already.
One is the Casper equivalent of their RWA vaults,
which provide depositors with high yields generated by real-world businesses such as cell networks.
The other is liquid staking, which has been in beta testing for the last couple of months.
And I'm excited to announce that we expect WISE Lending's liquid staking solution to go live on Maynet
within the first four to six weeks of 2026.
One second.
Then in May of this year, we announced one of our keystone partnerships of this year
with AmeriCorps Investments.
For those unfamiliar, AmeriCorps is one of the leading IP holders in the world, specifically
in the area of the intersection of the broader hospitality industry, which includes the parking
industry and blockchain.
We entered into this partnership with them to bring the US parking industry on chain. The US parking industry is estimated to process over
$140 billion in revenue per year and maintains a compound annual growth
rate of over 10%. At the same time, the industry hasn't materially modernized in
a very long time, which provides for a unique disruption and leapfrogging opportunity.
The parking value chain comprises a lot of stakeholders, beginning with the asset owners,
the companies that own the parking lots or buildings.
These owners work with parking operators to run these businesses for them.
The operators in turn work with supply aggregators who interact with the consumers.
These are like the apps and marketplaces that offer you parking spots when you, for example, buy tickets to a sporting event or concerts.
Then there are the technology platforms that process reservations and operate the automatic gates and process payments and stuff like that.
And finally, there's the local jurisdiction because each parking business finds
itself operating in a city or at an airport. These local jurisdictions, the city municipalities and
airport authorities, collect taxes and fees on top of every parking transaction and therefore have the
right to perform periodic retroactive audits on the parking businesses within their jurisdiction
to make sure that they collect the taxes and fees that they are entitled to. This process is not only cumbersome but it's
also very costly. With AmeriCorps we set out to tackle on-chain opportunities in the US parking
industry across three initiatives. First of all we are tackling this lack of transparency and
auditability that really plagues the industry and it forces cities
and airports to perform these costly audits. By integrating with the disparate data sources
across the value chain and reconciling the results on-chain on Casper Network,
we are establishing a single attested source of truth across the value chain that all value
chain participants become bound by and can
operate against. Secondly, given the sheer amount of revenue passing through the value chain on an
annual basis, and especially once you have what I just described, the more reliable and more timely
data that doesn't have to wait for a quarterly audit, there's a huge opportunity for on-chain
settlement between parties. Thirdly and lastly, parking assets are exceedingly compelling real-world assets to be tokenized.
They are underpinned by real estate asset value and generate highly predictable stable cash flows,
which provide for compelling yield opportunities for investors.
At the same time, parking asset owners currently do not have access to liquid
markets and are forced to rely on traditional finance rails to access credit or investment
for their businesses. In short, investors don't have access to these business opportunities
and owners don't have access to liquid markets without tokenization.
So before I provide an update on the rollout status of these initiatives, let me introduce
another marquee partnership that we announced just this week, which is Stobox.
Stobox is a platform and service provider that specializes in the issuance of regulated
tokenized real-world assets.
Our relationship with them specifically focuses on the issuance of real-world assets for our
partners, including those in the parking
industry. Stobox to date has facilitated the issuance of over half a billion dollars in
tokenized real-world assets and we're excited to welcome them to the Casper ecosystem.
So where are we with rolling all of this out? And I know that there's a lot of interest in
that question. So we are actually pretty close.
Specifically, the MVP for the Parking Transparency and Auditability application is nearing completion.
The on-chain portion was completed last month and is already being tested on Casper's testnet.
For the past few weeks, we've been focused on implementing the off-chain portion. This means
integrating with data
sources across the parking markets that we will be launching in and building out the
off-chain to on-chain pipeline, which involves building and rolling out trusted execution
environments on enclaves, TEEs as they're also known as, to provide cryptographically
attested data from the off-chain world to the on-chain
smart contracts. This part of the process is nearing completion and we expect to have a full
solution on-chain and off-chain integrated with the parking operations in our launch markets
ready to roll out in January. In parallel, we're working with parking asset owners and
stowblocks on the structuring and and process of tokenizing portions of these businesses,
meaning parts of their cap table and or parts of their cash flows, while also preparing the
transparency and auditability solution to serve as a data oracle for these tokenized assets.
I ask you to imagine a world where you as a holder of a tokenized parking asset have near real-time access to the financial performance of the underlying asset.
It is truly a groundbreaking concept.
On the final part, the inter-party settlement, we will also rely on the data on Casper Network as the source of truth
and are in conversations
with on-chain payment rail providers about the implementations.
There are no estimated timeframes for this part of the process yet.
So in short, just to summarize, we expect to roll out the trusted data layer for the
initial markets in January and are working on tokenization of parking assets concurrently.
From there, we will continue to evolve the data solution to cement Casper as the source of truth in this industry and as the source
for data oracles in tokenized real-world parking assets on-chain. And from there, we will
continue to apply this concept across the broader hospitality industry, where AmeriCorps patents also provide for a defensive mode around all of this.
Now, I've been talking for a long time, provided a lot of updates and even made some announcements,
but I think I have one more announcement in me before we move on to community questions.
Today, we are proud to announce the Testnet launch of CSPR.trade, a Casper native decentralized exchange.
Caspertrade is a Uniswap V2 based DEX, built by MAKE and supported by Odra Smart Contracts, and available on Testnet today.
Our partners at Halborn audited the DEX over the last few months and we will be publishing
the audit report today as well.
You will soon see an announcement on our channels with details on how to access CSPR.trades
as well as guides and instructions on how to best test things out.
We really know that decentralized trading on Casper has been a pain point recently, and we're
truly excited to solve this once and for all.
So please look out for the playbook that explains how to test Casper trades and provide your
feedback.
This is really your opportunity to assist in the future of DeFi on Casper Network.
On the testnet version of Casper trade, we have provided different types of tokens with
different types of liquidity levels.
In addition to CSPR and RAT CSPR, there is SCSPR, the liquid staking token, various meme and utility
tokens, simulated RAT bridge tokens and stablecoins, and we'll be adding longs and shorts from Casper
Delta as well. You have the opportunity to test arbitrage scenarios between the DEX and the liquid staking platform,
as well as high and low liquidity pools. The MVP does not have an analytics interface yet,
but this will be added in January. From a roadmap perspective, the plan is to run the Testnet
version through the holidays and then based on feedback and findings, launch on Mainnet in January.
We will then launch the analytics interface as well
and make sure that DEX is properly integrated across the ecosystem and beyond,
including data feeds to external parties.
And here is actually one more announcement.
Once we have Casper trade on Mainnet in January,
we will also launch Wise Lending's liquid staking alongside it.
With a functioning venue to trade on Casper Network, having a yield-bearing liquid staking token on Mainnet all of a sudden makes a whole lot of sense.
So in short, in summary, we are announcing a new DEX, Casper Trade, available on Testnet today, launching on Mainnet in January, alongside Liquid Staking on Mainnet.
Very exciting times for the Casper ecosystem.
That concludes the updates and announcements that I have for you today.
But before we move to community questions, I'd like to express my gratitude to this community.
When I stepped into this role one year and three weeks ago, but who's counting,
I knew it would be a challenging ride and that there were a lot of areas that required immediate
attention. Whether or not our efforts will prove fruitful in the long run, history will judge.
But the one thing that I knew from the moment I started was that I could count on this community,
this Casper fam, to show up.
And I want you to know that I felt your embrace and your support this last year
and that I'm extremely grateful for it and that your dedication is really a source of daily
motivation both for me and the larger team. So for all of that I really thank you profoundly.
Thank you profoundly. Let's answer some questions. Let me open the list of
questions that we have collected. And feel free to add more questions. Our
community managers are monitoring the channels and adding the questions as
they come in. First question that I see in the list here is what is the roadmap for 2026? This is a popular
question. So the roadmap is actually, I think we've gone through a lot of the announcements here that
actually tell you about what's expected to happen in 2026. On the core network side of things, we have
some things that are outstanding that are expected to be completed,
which is the new virtual machine, obviously, as well as some optimizations that will allow
further increases in block speed and performance on the network.
And those are slated for 2026.
But I would say that the main focus for 2026,
now that we are on CAFPR 2.1 and have really tackled
most of what we've set out to do
and have basically the solids of underpinning
for this networking ecosystem
is on adoption and use cases.
So I've talked about the
parking use case and what we plan to do with it. DeFi and RWAs, we are focused
on use cases and adoption and that's the main area of resource allocation in 2026. Then let me find more questions. Questions about exchanges.
So, hi Michael, first of all, thank you for your openness and transparency on various platforms,
including Telegram. Here is my question. The lack of listings on top centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase and Kraken severely
limits CSPR's potential.
What is Casper currently doing to increase his chances of being listed on these top
sectors?
And is there any progress to report?
So I appreciate the question. Obviously, this has been a question that's been lingering for quite a while.
Matt and I were, well, I was introduced to this topic within the last year,
coming on board with the association.
First of all, we did add, I believe, four new exchanges in the last 12 months,
but not the three mentioned here.
Without naming names, so first of all, the question is, what is Casper Curran, by Casper I assume you mean the association, doing to increase its chances?
We are in contact with these parties and always have been. The current status, completely in full transparency, is that out of these three,
there is one that is likely to happen in the foreseeable future,
and the other two we do not have any progress to report on.
And that's all I can say.
Then let's see. I really like the recent announcements but unfortunately we need
straight facts because a lot has been said on Casper but the price is still very low.
Do we have an estimated date of when the parking market actually moves on chain? But unfortunately we need straight facts because a lot has been said on Casper but the price is still very low.
Do we have an estimated date of when the parking market actually moves on chain?
Some quarter in 2026 or later. I think I addressed that.
We're going live with the MVP in January.
There's further rollouts happening from there and the tokenization effort is underway.
I would refer back to my answer or my overview of the rollout schedule.
Then explain to us more about the Stobox announcement and are AmeriCorps still in play.
There's Emda Goody in this regard.
Also, when will we be able to see transactions
of the parking market appear on mainnet? I think this is more along the same lines.
Stobox, I hope I explained, that's a collaboration in order to pursue the tokenization of real-world
assets, including parking assets, which we believe is so much more interesting than tokenizing things like treasury bills.
So if you compare the two, a treasury bill has no problem reaching liquid markets.
It's one of the most liquid assets there is. As an investor, you have no issues accessing it.
accessing it. Whereas parking assets as real-world assets are, like I said, underpinned by real
estate. So there is sort of tangible value just in the assets and have trackable, auditable,
soon on Casper Network, cash flows that are high, that provide significant yields.
Parking asset owners really don't have access to liquid markets. And investors who want to
participate in this industry or the broader hospitality industry and benefit from the
underlying asset and the cash flows have no way of doing so.
So tokenization of these assets really solves a pain point both on the issuer side as well as on the investor side,
which does much more so than, like I said, tokenizing treasury bills.
So that's what the Stobox partnership is about.
And on the MVP side, I think I answered that as well.
Let me see what else there is here. Another question about the roadmap that I just answered.
Then there's a question about the board and governance. I think I addressed that too when I talked about our governance.
The question is why hasn't the delegated assembly member concept been implemented yet?
And the answer is very simple. We underestimated the effort it would take within the Swiss regulatory environment to get all the required ducks in a row.
We're not trying to pull wool over anybody's eyes by having some sort of fake implementation here.
fake implementation here. The intention has always been to have this implementation of a delegated
assembly member have real legal teeth and that requires it to be set up properly within sort of
the legal and regulatory frameworks of Switzerland. And that process is underway with our
law firms and the local regulators.
And unfortunately it wasn't possible to complete that
within the timeframe that we had hoped
when we discussed this a year ago.
I'm gonna ask my community members
if there are any more questions that were added
And if so, please pass them to me because I don't see any other ones.
and if so, please pass them to me
because I don't see any other ones.
Oh, I see a question here.
You've confirmed that a native DEX is coming.
Can you clarify its intended role at launch, liquidity fees, casper utility,
and whether the expected timeline is weeks or months rather than specific dates?
Well, instead of weeks or months, en vez de días específicos. Bueno, en vez de semanas o meses, te daré días específicos.
Está en Testnet, comenzando hoy.
Los detalles estarán publicados en los canales,
ya que ya están o en los próximos minutos o horas.
Y va a la Mainnet después de la febrera de la febrera. next minutes or hour. And it will go to mainnet after the holiday break. And it's been fully
audited by Halborn. It's not a beta in the sense that we're not sure if everything works
or things like that. It's like ready to go. We have a holiday break in between and it'll hit main net. So hopefully that's specific
enough from a timeline perspective. And I think that covered all the questions that I see in here.
So I'll just want to conclude the X-Space for today. That's basically a wrap for 2025.
We hope that all of you get to enjoy a wonderful holiday season for the next couple of weeks with your families and your loved ones.
The Casper team will also take a break between Christmas and New Year's and we all look forward
to kicking off 2026 with you our Casper fam with renewed and re-energized energy and ready to build.
And wishing you and yours really happy holidays to those that celebrate a Merry Christmas,
a Happy Hanukkah, and a happy and healthy New Year.
Thank you all very much for joining and thank you for being part of this wonderful community. Thank you.
