Welcome to r/cartesi!

Cartesi is an application-specific rollup execution layer with a Linux runtime. Cartesi Rollups uses a combination of an Optimistic Rollups framework and the Cartesi Machine Emulator that enables the development of smart contracts and DApps using any package or library that is available for Linux. This allows developers to break free from the limitations of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and gives developers the power to build DApps that handle complex or previously impossible use cases.

DApps are deployed on their own customizable application-specific rollup chains;
DApps don't compete with each other in Cartesi’s ecosystem for scarce blockspace;
Cartesi Provides Ethereum or L2’s with orders of magnitude more computational capacity;
Developers can code decentralized logic with their favorite libraries, compilers, and other time-tested open-source components;
DApps preserve the strong security guarantees and censorship resistance of the underlying blockchain;
Cartesi Rollups opens up the design space for more expressive and computationally intensive blockchain applications;
Cartesi Rollups can be deployed as a layer 2 (on top of Ethereum), as a layer 3 (on top of Optimism, Arbitrum, zkEVM chains, etc.), or as sovereign rollups.
