We wanted to open up a formal discussions thread around Cartesi, while we prep and ramp up efforts to launch our main-net. Ultimately, what we've been making for the past year and a half in building a Layer-2 Linux infrastructure built on Blockchain. Cartesi is a decentralized and scalable Linux infrastructure that solves the problems of computational scalability and development infrastructure for the decentralized web.

With Cartesi, Blockchain applications can be coded with the vast domain of mainstream software stacks available today. Applications run off-chain, with the strong security guarantees of the blockchain, but free from its computation limits and high costs.

Yesterday, Erick de Moura (CEO of Cartesi) did a podcast with Crypto Current. He discussed why Intensive computations performed off-chain is a big deal in blockchain.

Cartesi Team Update: Finally a Real OS for Blockchains

Our team of serial entrepreneurs and leading Ph.D. researchers in computer science, probability, and distributed computing have joined forces to solve two of the biggest roadblocks in the mass adoption of blockchain — network efficiency and difficulty in coding.

To tackle these problems, we have designed the first second-layer system able to run a real operating system on top of blockchain. Cartesi brings all the tools and capabilities available in modern operating systems to the decentralized web. It is a real and fully-fledged Linux OS that skyrockets the capabilities of decentralized applications without compromising on the security guarantees of blockchain.
