Introduction

This article is intended for developers consuming the Casper 2.0 (AKA Condor) JSON RPC, such as dApp developers, SDK developers, or others relying on the JSON-RPC API. In this article we examine the JSON-RPC and break down the differences between v1.5.6 and v2.0.0.

Since the network's inception, the Casper node has exposed an API over HTTP, using JSON, which is known as the JSON-RPC. This API allows client software such as dApps and SDKs to communicate and interact with the node, giving access to query node state, chain state, balance details and other information, as well as to write information to the chain by submitting transactions.

Casper 2.0 introduces significant changes in the representation and management of accounts and smart contracts, through the introduction of the AddressableEntity type. This new structure replaces the separate AccountHash and ContractHash used in Casper 1.x, bringing a unified approach to interact with entities on the network. Contracts can now hold and manage funds directly through associated purses, similar to user accounts. They can also manage their own keys, enabling more sophisticated access control.

In this article, we'll dive into the details of AddressableEntity, exploring its structure and functionalities.
