Build appchain rollups with languages, libraries, and tools you know and love.
Leverage decades‑proven software ecosystems. The Cartesi Machine enables full Linux and RISC‑V stack execution in a composable, verifiable rollup environment.
Cartesi’s architecture is optimized for app‑specific rollups, providing scalable and secure chains tailored to each dApp’s needs, backed by a state-of-the-art fraud proof system, properly categorized as Stage-2 according to L2BEAT.
Technology
Cartesi Rollups support a VM with a RISC-V architecture, making it possible to boot Linux or other mature operating systems. Developers can bring their ideas to life through rich code libraries, programming languages, and open-source tooling.
Explore a rich new design space that supports decades of existing code libraries, programming languages, and open-source tooling.
Build more intricate and computationally intensive dApps without having to reinvent new abstractions every time.
Boot a mature operating system inside the Cartesi Virtual Machine.
Optimize specific dApp logic to bring your ideas to life, free from the intricacies of the blockchain itself and the design tradeoffs of the EVM.
Inherit security and censorship resistance from Ethereum.
Cartesi gives your dApp its own rollup with dedicated compute, bringing significant gains in computational scalability without compromising on decentralization, security and censorship resistance.
Cartesi-powered dApps benefit from predictable, stable fees, thanks to dedicated network resources.
The modular framework gives developers more control over the stack for their dApp-specific needs, such as customizable gas metering, data availability solutions, and more.
Cartesi Rollups can be used as a layer two, a layer three, or as sovereign rollups.
Learn how Cartesi opens up new possibilities for dApps across a range of use cases, thanks to its computational scaling and programming flexibility.
Cartesi brings ambitious ideas to life by fostering collaboration, experimentation, and a willingness to take risks and grow together.
Cartesi is an open-source project built by a vibrant and growing ecosystem of independent teams, companies, and individuals – transparently and in public.
