" summary

Casper implements proof of stake where validators deposit to a Casper contract, become active after ~12‑24 hours, can start withdrawal with a delay, and incur penalties for misbehavior; incentives use consensus-by-bet and a value-at-loss fork choice to make equivocation costly (losing roughly a block reward) and produce economic finality via escalating bets. A sharding design samples ~100 validators per shard per epoch to aim for tens of thousands TPS; a proof‑of‑concept exists.
