# Overview

On January 3, 2009, on a server located in Helsinki, Finland, the hitherto anonymous and mysterious tech geek Satoshi Nakamoto generated the first bitcoin block, the so-called Bitcoin Genesis block, and since then, blockchain has started to go global along with bitcoin. In the development of these ten years or so, numerous projects based on the underlying blockchain construction have emerged, and blockchain technology has been accepted by more and more applications, becoming an important foundation in the future development of the Internet.

With the expansion of the application ecosystem, the performance requirements for the underlying blockchain are also getting higher and higher, and the explosive development of application cryptocats on Ether in 2017 has brought congestion to the entire Ether network, making us once again see the constraints of the blockchain "impossible triangle" problem. Zamfir, together with Alexander and others, published a paper on "Minimum CBC Casper Protocol" consensus protocol family, proposing a solution for decentralized networks to make PoS both secure and active. Subsequently, more and more people started to research and develop CBC Casper protocols, and Dimension Labs is one of them.

Since 2018, we have been developing and researching in the field of blockchain, and the "impossible triangle" problem of blockchain has been our focus to overcome, so when we found that there are great similarities between CBC Casper protocol and our research, we launched the We hope to provide a scalable, decentralized and secure new public chain for the future Internet, and become the foundation of WEB3.0 development.
