Validator Sale Process
1. Quota per ticket: 100 USDT (10,000 CLX). Every ticket will be assigned with a ticket number, and upon the conclusion of the purchase, a USDT payment will be deducted from the eligible participant's Cash Account. Each user account is capped to purchase 150 tickets (15,000 USDT); 
2. Winning tickets will be announced after the conclusion of each round of lottery draw. Participants who do not win in the current round will be able to continue to participate in the next round of lottery draw.
3. Users with winning tickets will be assigned with a Casper Access Code, which grants the access to CasperLabs website and allows them to complete identity verification (KYC). KYC must be completed before April 13th, 10:00 a.m. EDT, 2020. Users failing to complete the verification on time or failing to pass the verification will be deemed to voluntarily give up their eligibility for participation; the purchased tickets will be cancelled and the USDT payment will be refunded.

Casper Introduction
Casper is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based smart contract platform that scales for real-world businesses and simplifies experiences for developers and end-users, making it easy to use for everyone. Casper' network provides scalable, fast, and decentralized blockchain services, powered by "Correct-by-construction (CBC) Casper" proof-of-stake protocol. The CBC consensus protocol is a license-free, decentralized and highly secure proof-of-stake mechanism, and is an important component of Ethereum's final shift to a proof-of-stake mechanism. The Casper team has been developing the project since November 2018 and has now delivered 14 development releases. Alpha testNet is scheduled for the end of March 2020, and the mainnet launch will take place in 2020.

Token Symbol: CLX
Total Token Supply: 10 billion (10,000,000,000 CLX)
Initial Circulating Supply: approximately 20% of total supply during the first year and post mainnet launch

Token Allocation:
-60% of total token supply will be sold to the public via validator sales and future ongoing public sales.
-16% reserved for developer & entrepreneur incentives, advisors and community managers via a DAO structure coupled with an AWS credits style system deployed over 5 years.
-10% will be held by the Casper network; any and all distributions will be commensurate with public release.
-8% reserved for the team, vesting on a schedule similar to equity incentive programs over 3 years.
-6% for advisors and strategic partners, distributed in a manner similar to the developer and community incentives.
