June flew by, but Cartesi development made it count with the PRT Honeypot recategorization by @L2Beat as the only Optimistic Rollup at Stage 2.
Let’s catch up on last month’s tech releases, ecosystem highlights, events, community initiatives, and more ↓ https://cartesi.io/blog/ecosystem_updates_6/
Cartesi courses have been taught at 3 universities in Brazil for a while now. But have you ever wondered how easy it is for students to build with Cartesi?
Turns out, it’s pretty simple as many already know Python. And it’s not us saying that. It’s their professor @_aarocha ↓
GM from software that's both backward and forward compatible, with high-performance computing onchain. Secured by its own fraud-proof system. That’s Stage 2 Cartesi Rollups!
Cartesi's Stage 2 app, PRT Honeypot, just received its first jar deposit 🍯🐝🐧
You know the drill: hack it and drain the funds, or follow along to see the pot grow and whether anyone gets the honey. There are 20,042 $CTSI up for grabs right now. ↓ https://honeypot.cartesi.io/
Catch us this Wednesday on IBTIA with @0xEricBrown, DevRel Lead at @Base, to unpack what it takes to build next-gen dApps: turning rollups into backbone, streamlining dev and user onboarding, and unlocking traction through better tooling.

Government-backed Cartesi projects in Brazil? At @uff_br, students guided by Prof @_aarocha built a Cartesi-powered dApp to improve the public bus system.
The project caught the attention of Niterói’s municipality (Rio de Janeiro), which is now backing and implementing it to improve transparency, accountability, and efficiency in local transport. Hear more about it here ↓
GM! Excited to have @realsidhujag, Core Developer of @syscoin, on this week’s IBTIA episode! Join us this Wednesday as we explore the modular blockchain design: from Bitcoin to Ethereum, rollups to DA, and dev tooling in the AI era.

This time, it wasn’t the students being tested. On the latest "I Build, Therefore I Am" podcast episode, we put the professor on the spot. Quickfire questions, fast answers: catch @joaopdgarcia and @bmaia_expat in conversation with @uff_br Computer Science Prof. @_aaarocha ↓
GM, first Monday of June! As we explore new ways to keep the Ecosystem Updates streamlined and focused, remember to dive into our blog's latest edition for all the highlights. Give it a read, and for a direct line to the Cartesians, hop on Discord. ↓ https://cartesi.io/blog/ecosystem_updates_5/
Let builders build whatever they want, however they want, using tools they actually like, and software that’s backward-compatible and forward-compatible.
Next up on IBTIA: @joaopdgarcia & @bmaia_expat chat with @_aarocha, Computer Science professor at @uff_br and a driving force for Cartesi in Brazil, leading initiatives from student education to real-world impact with local government support.

Exciting. That’s the word for the future of onchain gaming, with real potential to onboard the masses. Catch @ZacPrater on IBTIA sharing his take, plus plenty more insights (and Minecraft!).
Then jump into the @World_Tycoon_ playtest. Early contributors might be glad they did.
