Cartesi emerged in 2018 with a proposition that seemed ahead of its time. Contrary to being perceived merely as a Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) provider, Cartesi is an actual pioneer in offering infrastructure for application-specific rollups that can operate on top of a Linux environment – leveraging years of open-source intelligence and developer tooling. Not only can developers use the programming language of their choice, but Cartesi also overcomes the restrictive barriers of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), EVM+, and WASM.
If someone came up with the idea and started pitching an “application-specific rollup provider with dedicated computing resources and a Linux runtime, all while maintaining the integrity and settlement capabilities of Ethereum through optimistic rollups”, we are sure that multiple theses would start being released about how this could set a new standard for innovation and unlock unprecedented possibilities in dApp creation and functionality.
With its unique underlying framework and the network effects made possible as a byproduct, Cartesi can host applications that aren’t possible on any other ecosystem, such as a fully on-chain casino or sports fantasy game.
Cartesi is an Optimistic Rollups framework for building application-specific rollups with a Linux environment. It provides dApps with a dedicated CPU and rollup where developers can use the libraries, programming languages, and tools they are already familiar with. Any package or library that is available for Linux can be used by developers to break free from the limitations of the EVM, EVM+, or WASM, alleviating the limitations of writing code that runs on-chain by performing more complex computations off-chain and that can be verified on-chain.
