Layer 2 Blockchains
Cartesi is an application-specific rollup protocol with a Linux runtime.
EVM programmability constraints impose heavy computational and design limits on DApp developers.
Cartesi’s RISC-V virtual machine enables building complex, compute-intensive DApps with familiar libraries, compilers, and other time-tested open-source tooling.
Cartesi rollups can be deployed as Layer 2 on Ethereum, Layer 3 on Optimism or Arbitrum, zkEVM chains, or used as sovereign rollups, expanding where and how scalable, verifiable smart contracts and off-chain logic can run and be settled on chain.
