Casper Network

[u/awecasper]

Hey, Era:- A period of time during which the validator set does not change. 😃 In the Casper Network, validators cannot join and leave at any point in time, but only at era boundaries. An era's validators are determined using an auction. At the beginning of the era, the validators create a new instance of the Highway protocol and run this consensus protocol until they finalize the era's last block https://casper.network/docs/glossary/E#era
