GM Saturday! Your Cartesi Weekly Report is here, bringing more ecosystem updates 🐧

PRT Honeypot is now live on the Ethereum mainnet: Cartesi's first Rollup application with functional anti-fraud security has officially launched.

This marks an important step towards achieving trustless security and decentralization that meets the L2BEAT @l2beat standards. The first deposit is expected to arrive next week.
