What is Cartesi?
Cartesi is an application-specific scaling framework that lets developers run a full Linux environment as the execution layer for blockchain applications. At its core is the Cartesi Machine, a deterministic RISC-V virtual machine that boots a real Linux distribution, so developers can build apps in mainstream languages such as Python, Rust, and C++ while settling on a blockchain for security. Cartesi Rollups can be deployed as a layer 2 on Ethereum, as a layer 3 on networks like Optimism or Arbitrum, or as sovereign rollups, with on-chain dispute resolution settling disagreements. CTSI is the network's token, used for staking, validator rewards, fees, and governance. The project began in 2018 and its rollups framework later reached mainnet. CTSI runs primarily as an Ethereum-based token. You can follow the Cartesi price and hold CTSI in a self-custody wallet.
