Company mission

Cartesi wants to bridge the best of two worlds: intense computational jobs as we know in the world today, with independency of central authorities or middle men, as seen in the decentralised world of tomorrow.

Our take

Blockchain adoption is a niche. Only 0.1% of developers have explored blockchain because of its inconveniences. Developers worldwide deal with very restrictive environments and cannot code smart contracts with mainstream software. With an operating system like Linux, they could use existing software and tools to create blockchain applications.

This is where Cartesi comes in. Cartesi is a layer-2 solution that integrates Linux and standard programming environments to the blockchain, allowing developers to code scalable smart contracts with rich software tools and components they are used to. Bridging the gap between mainstream software and blockchain, Cartesi has massive potential to disrupt the market and a potential market of millions of developers.

As a tech community, we are only scratching the surface of blockchain technology's potential applications, and this has led to a market which is really hot. In fact, the market for blockchain devices in particular is expected to reach over $2.4 billion by 2026 - the next few years, then, could be massive for Cartesi.
