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 is the CRC/CTSI trading pair and what does it represent?

    The CRC/CTSI pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp allowing you to purchase the Cartesi (CTSI) digital asset using Costa Rican Colón (CRC). This pair is crucial for users in Costa Rica who wish to enter 'The Blockchain OS' ecosystem, enabling complex dApp development without needing to first convert CRC to another major currency like USD.
  • What are the common methods for purchasing CTSI with Costa Rican Colón?

    While direct CRC/CTSI pairings on major exchanges are rare, users can typically acquire CTSI via a two-step process. First, purchase a major cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or a stablecoin on a local or P2P exchange that accepts CRC payments, potentially through SINPE Móvil or a bank transfer. Second, transfer that asset to an exchange with high liquidity for CTSI and complete the trade. Always verify KYC/AML compliance on any platform used.
  • How does Cartesi's Layer-2 technology benefit a user who buys CTSI?

    By acquiring CTSI, you gain access to Cartesi's Layer-2 infrastructure. This technology utilizes optimistic rollups and the Cartesi Machine (a Linux VM) for off-chain computation. This means dApps can run complex calculations off the main blockchain, resulting in significantly lower transaction fees and higher computational scalability, making it attractive for developers using mainstream software stacks.
  • What fees should I expect when converting CRC to CTSI?

    The process involves several potential fees: 1) A deposit fee for funding your exchange account with CRC. 2) Trading fees on the exchange for the CRC-to-crypto and subsequent crypto-to-CTSI transactions. 3) Network fees (gas) for withdrawing the CTSI, as it's an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Always compare the fee structures of different fiat gateway platforms to optimize your digital asset purchase.
  • After buying CTSI with CRC, what is the best way to secure and use the tokens?

    For secure storage, it is highly recommended to transfer your CTSI from the cryptocurrency exchange to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys, such as a hardware wallet. For utility, you can participate in the ecosystem by staking CTSI on Cartesi's Noether PoS side-chain. Staking helps secure the network and allows you to earn rewards on your holdings.
