Cartesi (CTSI) Crypto Exchange

Cartesi is an off-chain decentralized computation platform that allows DApps to run on Linux. It was created in 2018 by [Augusto Teixeira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/augusto-teixeira-39a3a8169/), [Erick de Moura](https://www.linkedin.com/in/erickdemoura/), [Diego Nehab](https://www.linkedin.com/in/diegonehab/) and [Colin Steil](https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinsteil/). Cartesi aims to solve the issues of scalability, computation, and DApp infrastructure. The Cartesi network utilizes off-chain computing, that takes place in Cartesi Nodes, to overcome the limitations of a blockchain such as processing limits and high fees. In such a network the consensus is reached off-chain, in Cartesi Machines, as a part of Descartes SDK. However, in the case of fraudulent computation, the dispute is done on-chain and the dishonest parties are punished. Cartesi Machines are reproducible and fully transparent which is essential for consensus. The combination of off-chain and blockchain technologies increases the productivity and scalability of the network. The CTSI token is used as a utility token and is a part of Cartesi’s Proof of Stake protocol. It is also utilized in staking, as a reward, for paying transaction fees and DApp storage. In July 2021, the Cartesi network is released a testnet of Cartesi Rollups, improving the scalability of transactions and allowing developers to program applications in any language. In December 2021, Cartesi Rollups’ alpha release was launched.
