About Cartesi
Cartesi (CTSI) is a decentralized blockchain operating system that aims to solve blockchain scalability problems using Layer 2 scaling solutions. Designed to facilitate the deployment and use of decentralized applications (dApps) at scale, Cartesi focuses on interoperability between different blockchain networks, and high transaction throughput.

Cartesi is a blockchain-agnostic ecosystem that can be used to build dApps across multiple blockchains, such as Ethereum and Injective Protocol. It provides developers with a high degree of flexibility through the use of a hybrid of on-chain and off-chain architecture.
The core goal of Cartesi is to address blockchain network congestion that occurs as blockchain technology is adopted on a large scale. To achieve this, Cartesi incorporates several Layer 2 scaling solutions that include roll-ups and sidechains.Ā
Notably, Cartesi streamlines dApp development by allowing developers to create smart contracts in languages with which they are already familiar, such as Python. The Cartesi ecosystem is powered by its native CTSI token, which is primarily used within the Cartesi proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model to secure the Cartesi network and validate transactions.Ā
Cartesi uses multiple off-chain components to minimize stress on blockchain networks and accelerate transaction throughput. The Cartesi Machine offloads dApp computations into a Linux-based virtual machine, facilitating the creation of dApps in widely used programming languages, while the Cartesi Noether sidechain handles temporary data instead of processing transactions on the main chain.
