Cartesi CTSI #454 I-share☆ I-watch+ Portfolio

About Cartesi (CTSI)

Cartesi is an application-specific rollups execution layer with a Linux runtime. Cartesi’s RISC-V virtual machine allows developers to import decades of open-source wisdom to blockchain applications and build decentralized applications with their favorite libraries, compilers, and other time-tested open-source tooling. Cartesi Rollups can be deployed as layer 2 (on top of Ethereum) or as layer 3 (on top of Optimism, Arbitrum, zkEVM chains, etc.), or as sovereign rollups.

What Makes Cartesi Unique and Key Highlights

Cartesi is an application-specific rollup execution layer with a Linux runtime. Cartesi’s RISC-V virtual machine allows developers to import decades of open-source wisdom to blockchain applications and build decentralized applications with their favorite libraries, compilers, and other time-tested open-source tooling.

DApps are deployed on their own customizable application-specific rollup chains;

DApps don't compete with each other in Cartesi’s ecosystem for scarce blockspace;

Provides Ethereum or L2’s with orders of magnitude more computational capacity;

Developers can code decentralized logic with their favorite libraries, compilers and other time-tested open source components;

DApps preserve the strong security guarantees and censorship resistance of the underlying blockchain;

Cartesi Rollups can be deployed as a layer 2 (on top of Ethereum), as a layer 3 (on top of Optimism, Arbitrum, zkEVM chains, etc.), or as sovereign rollups;

Cartesi Rollups opens up the design space for more expressive and computationally intensive blockchain applications.

The Cartesi Team

The most important asset for The Cartesi Foundation is an ecosystem of contributors, each with a team of strong professionals, researchers and engineers extremely excited to create and implement cutting edge solutions in the blockchain space.

Cartesi’s core contributors come from high profile backgrounds with real-world experience at top companies such as Microsoft Research, and PhDs from top universities like ETH Zurich and Princeton.

What Can CTSI Be Used For?

The token for Cartesi, CTSI, has been designed to intermediate protocol governance and to provide additional convenience and timeliness to Cartesi DApps.

CTSI’s primary function is governance for the Cartesi ecosystem.
