What is Cartesi (CTSI)?

Cartesi is an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions, creating a richer and broader design space for DApp developers.

Cartesi Rollups offer a modular scaling solution, deployable as L2, L3, or sovereign rollups, while maintaining strong base layer security guarantees.

CTSI Overview and Use Cases

CTSI holders can stake their tokens to participate in the ecosystem’s community-driven governance mechanisms. To learn more, visit the Cartesi Governance Page.

What makes Cartesi Unique?

Cartesi allows developers to move beyond shared computation and EVM design limitations.

*A full CPU for each DApp

With Cartesi Rollups, DApps don't compete with each other for processing power like they do on Ethereum and existing L2 scaling solutions.

*A full suite of open-source libraries for your DApp

With the Cartesi Virtual Machine, DApp developers move beyond the EVM and gain access to the full suite of code libraries, programming languages, and open-source tooling they're accustomed to.

*Cartesi Rollups can be used as a layer two, a layer three, or as sovereign rollups.

Key Highlights

Cartesi creates a boundless design space for cutting-edge developers.

*Space for exploration

Explore a rich new design space that supports decades of existing code libraries, programming languages, and open-source tooling.

*Supreme processing power

Build more intricate and computationally intensive DApps without having to reinvent new abstractions every time.

*Fully-fledged OS

Boot a mature operating system inside the Cartesi Virtual Machine.

*Focus

Optimize specific DApp logic to bring your ideas to life, free from the intricacies of the blockchain itself and the design tradeoffs of the EVM.

*Base layer guarantees

Inherit security and censorship resistance from Ethereum.

Ecosystem Overview

Cartesi is an open-source project built by a vibrant and growing ecosystem of independent teams, companies, and individuals – transparently and in public.
