About

Cartesi is a blockchain-focused company that provides application-specific rollups with a Linux runtime. It offers solutions to transcend Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) limitations, providing a full CPU for each decentralized application (dApp). Its technology includes the Cartesi Rollups and the Cartesi Virtual Machine, supporting a RISC-V architecture to boot Linux or other operating systems, enhancing the computational scalability and flexibility for dApp developers.

History

What Makes Cartesi Unique and Key Highlights Cartesi creates a boundless design space for cutting-edge developers, allowing them 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.

*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.
