Venture capital fund COSIMO X participated in Casper’s private sale and is among the first validators on Casper Network after its March 31 mainnet launch. The public token sale for Casper’s native CSPR token was the largest ever hosted on CoinList.
Casper is a smart contract blockchain platform that relies on a proof of stake consensus algorithm to solve the efficiency and scalability issues present in current networks. Some of its key features include upgradable smart contracts, predictable gas fees, and WebAssembly support. All of which appeal to Web3 development teams and are essential to enterprise adoption.
“The technology that the team at CasperLabs have developed is another building block in the ecosystem and a catalyst for accelerated real world adoption of blockchain. We are excited to add a stake in Casper Network to the COSIMO X investment portfolio” said Ciaran Hynes, General Partner at COSIMO Ventures.
COSIMO X is an active investor in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. The firm itself is an innovative implementation of the technology as it is a tokenized fund that leverages blockchain capability and provides investors with added transparency. The use of security tokens, which act as digital shares, also improve liquidity and offer wider opportunities for investors who wish to participate in these markets.
