Cartesi

We’re excited to see Cartesi powering academic research in decentralized infrastructure. In recent papers from Prof. Antonio Rocha’s group at UFF, students leveraged Cartesi Rollups to enhance resource allocation and virtual network service provider selection in telecom and cloud environments.

When we started, there were no “rollups,” no “altVMs,” no “app-specific.” Just the idea that complex computation should run securely on Ethereum, and anyone could challenge results without being Sybil-attacked. The words came later, but the mission was already there.

Happy Friday and welcome to Cartesi Weekly for the latest from the ecosystem 🐧

Espresso Reader just brewed a fresh new version: v0.4.0 is now live, running on Cartesi Node v2.0.0-alpha.6. This update brings improvements for devs building with Cartesi Rollups and Espresso's composable layer. Check the release here

The PRT Honeypot is still sweet and secure, with its fraud-proof system integrated and ready for challengers. New to running a node? ICYMI, a video tutorial walking you through 3 easy steps went live. Will you finally become a Honeypot validator?

This week, RIVES announced they’re working on a mobile version, so get ready to play fully verifiable games directly on your phone. Just hearing about RIVES? Explore it here. It’s a fantasy console built on Cartesi Rollups and live on Base, housing many of your childhood favorite games, including DOOM. Check the announcement here

Want to hear more? Catch the recording of Carlo Fragni’s recent X Space, Gaming Night 10, where he unpacked more about RIVES.

Meanwhile, Brazil continues to make headlines. This week’s feature by WeBitcoin spotlights the momentum around Cartesi’s educational programs, with the course “Intro to Blockchain, Web3, and Rollups” launched by national institutions RedeRNP and ESR with CPQD via ILIADA. Registrations start on July 28, so heads up to all devs and researchers in Brazil.

And to finish the week in style, make sure you didn’t miss our latest blog post presenting Cartesi’s renewed focus and commitment to engineering Ethereum’s future by narrowing down where our infrastructure produces the most value.

Plus, HackerNoon’s coverage of the announcement beautifully captured the message. Check here.

Until next week, stay curious and keep building with any code, enjoying Ethereum’s security 🫡

Throwback Thursday: Take a walk down memory lane and see how Cartesi identified Ethereum’s long-term challenges, echoing the ecosystem’s need for application-specific rollups before they were widely understood, back when few were thinking about verifiable computation at scale.

Building with any code. Relying on Ethereum for security.

That’s Cartesi Rollups.

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 ↓

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. ↓
