About
Cartesi (CTSI)

Cartesi (CTSI) is a Layer-2 infrastructure platform designed to resolve the critical issue of computational scalability and high costs on blockchain networks. Often referred to as "The Blockchain OS," its primary objective is to enable decentralized applications (dApps) with complexities that rival their centralized Web2 counterparts. Cartesi achieves this by allowing developers to build smart contracts and dApps within a full Linux operating system environment, utilizing mainstream programming languages and software stacks. This approach significantly lowers the barrier to entry for developers transitioning from Web2 to Web3, fostering a richer and more powerful dApp ecosystem built on robust blockchain technology.

The core of the platform is the Cartesi Machine (CM), a deterministic virtual machine that executes intensive computations off-chain. By leveraging Optimistic Rollups, Cartesi can process these complex calculations externally while anchoring the results with cryptographic security on the underlying Layer-1 blockchain, such as Ethereum. This hybrid model provides the immense computational power of off-chain processing with the verifiable trust of an on-chain digital ledger. The native utility token, CTSI, is integral to the network's tokenomics. It is used for staking within Cartesi's Noether Proof-of-Stake (PoS) sidechain, where node runners help secure the network and earn rewards. CTSI also functions as the payment method for computation and data availability services within the ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions

  • What are the common methods to buy Cartesi (CTSI) with Brazilian Real (BRL)?

    To buy the digital asset CTSI with BRL, the most common fiat on-ramp is through a Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange. These platforms require KYC/AML compliance and typically accept BRL deposits via Pix, which is instant, or traditional bank transfers like TED. Once your BRL is deposited, you can place an order on the BRL/CTSI trading pair to acquire the token, which powers 'The Blockchain OS'.
  • What is the strategic advantage of a direct BRL/CTSI trading pair?

    A direct BRL/CTSI pair offers Brazilian developers and investors a streamlined entry into the Cartesi ecosystem. It eliminates the need for multiple conversions (e.g., BRL to USD/USDT, then to CTSI), reducing transaction fees and slippage. This provides direct access for those wanting to utilize the Cartesi Machine for building dApps with complex computational logic using mainstream software stacks, or for participating in CTSI staking.
  • After buying CTSI with BRL, how can I participate in CTSI staking?

    Once you have acquired CTSI tokens, you must withdraw them from the exchange to a self-custody digital wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens. From your wallet, you can then delegate your CTSI to a staking pool on Cartesi's Noether Proof-of-Stake (PoS) side-chain. This process helps secure the network and earns you staking rewards, contributing to the decentralized infrastructure of The Blockchain OS.
  • What technical problem does Cartesi (CTSI) solve for blockchain developers?

    Cartesi solves a major developer productivity and computational scalability problem. Its core technology, the Cartesi Machine, is a self-contained Linux virtual machine. This allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) using familiar, mainstream programming languages and software components, instead of being restricted to blockchain-specific languages. It enables complex and intensive computations to be executed off-chain in a verifiable way, acting as a Layer-2 scaling solution that brings the richness of traditional development to the blockchain.
  • What are the typical fees when converting BRL to CTSI on an exchange?

    When converting BRL to CTSI, you'll encounter several potential fees. First, there may be a deposit fee for your BRL, although many Brazilian exchanges offer free deposits via Pix. Second, a trading fee, typically a small percentage of the transaction value, is charged when your order on the BRL/CTSI order book is filled. Finally, if you withdraw your CTSI to an external digital wallet, there will be a network fee, which is influenced by the current gas price on the Ethereum network as CTSI is an ERC-20 token.
