Cartesian (CTSI) there what?

Cartesi is an application-specific rollup execution layer that supports the Linux runtime environment for writing smart contracts. Cartesi's framework makes the blockchain stack powerful enough for developers to build computationally intensive decentralized use cases that were previously not possible.

As layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum continue to scale the availability of data, execution environments and compute layers like Cartesi are poised to scale computational power exponentially.

Highlights

Cartesi's RISC-V Virtual Machine enables developers to import open source data into blockchain applications and build decentralized applications (dApps) with the libraries, compilers they want, and open source tools have been tested otherwise.

  • DApps are deployed on individually customizable application-specific rollup chains

  • DApps do not compete with each other for scarce block space in the Cartesi ecosystem

  • Give Ethereum or L2 greater computing power

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

  • DApps maintain strong security guarantees and censorship resistance from the underlying blockchain

  • Cartesi Rollups opens up the design space for computationally and expression-intensive blockchain applications

  • Cartesi Rollups can be deployed as L2 (on Ethereum), as L3 (on Optimism chain, Arbitrum, zkEVM…) or as standalone rollups.

Product

As a blockchain infrastructure technology project, Cartesi aims to provide the technology platform from which builders, businesses and projects will develop decentralized applications. The Cartesi technology suite currently includes:

  • Cartesi Rollups: A modular implementation layer based on an application-specific rollup design. This is a solution where each DApp will have its own rollup version, allowing for a higher computational increase compared to other general rollup solutions. Furthermore, Cartesi's Linux VM offers a rich programming environment.

  • Cartesi Compute: A computation oracle for L1 or L2 DApps. It provides additional computational resources for smart contracts on the blockchain, which will invoke Cartesi to execute complex functions in a fully verifiable manner. Cartesi Compute decentralizes computational tasks so that every validating node can execute accurate results.

  • Cartesi Explorer: Cartesi Explorer is a product that allows CTSI users to interact with the Noether PoS system and stake. The Explorer will support Cartesi Rollups and provide extensive insights into transactions and statistics statistics of DApps.

  • Noether: Noether is Cartesi's proof-of-stake system for incentivized blockchain interactions. Node runners and stakers participating in Nother are rewarded for the rapid implementation of future Cartesi Ecosystem services, such as decentralized sequencers, document execution, liquidity provision , data availability and authenticator requirements.

In case of used

CTSI is designed for intermediate protocol governance and provides added convenience and speed to Cartesi DApps. The main function of CTSI is to govern the Cartesi ecosystem:

  • The Cartesi Foundation's decentralized ecosystem will use CTSI as a voting method for community programs originating from the Cartesi Improvement Proposal (CIP).

  • As the Cartesi Foundation becomes more decentralized, CTSI will be used in several aspects of ecosystem, network, and DAO management in the future.

  • CTSI will also play an important role in terms of convenience and speed for DApps through Noether. Node runners and stakers participating in Nother are rewarded for quickly implementing future Cartesi Ecosystem services. Noether is also part of Cartesi's governance system. CTSI holders willing to participate in governance voting must first delegate their tokens to the Noether pool manager.
