Cartesi (CTSI) is a unique Layer-2 project that provides a blockchain scalability solution by integrating the familiar programming environment of Linux into decentralized infrastructure. Instead of limiting developers to traditional smart contracts, Cartesi allows them to use popular programming languages such as Python, C++, or Rust to build Web3 applications.
The highlight of Cartesi lies in Rollups – a technology that enables off-chain data processing and only records proofs on the blockchain. This both increases speed and reduces costs, while maintaining the security of the network.
The CTSI token plays a crucial role: it is used for staking to secure the system, paying for services, and participating in community governance. As a result, CTSI is not only a utility token but also creates incentives that connect the components within the ecosystem.
With the combination of Linux + blockchain, Cartesi is paving the way for a generation of powerful decentralized applications that are developer-friendly and rich in practical potential.
