what's Cartesi?

Cartesi is a blockchain project that enables developers to build decentralized applications using familiar software tools and environments. It provides a Linux-based virtual machine for off-chain computation, allowing complex logic to run securely while leveraging Ethereum's security through optimistic rollups. This approach bridges traditional software development with blockchain, supporting any programming language, libraries, and tools without custom DSLs. By deploying as app-specific rollups, Cartesi facilitates scalable, verifiable computations for dApps in areas like DeFi, gaming, and AI. Developers can create sovereign chains that inherit Ethereum's finality, with fraud proofs ensuring dispute resolution. The native token CTSI powers staking, governance, and incentives within the ecosystem.
