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 PEN/CTSI trading pair and its significance for developers?

    The PEN/CTSI pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp, allowing users to purchase Cartesi's utility token (CTSI) using the Peruvian Sol (PEN). Its significance lies in providing Peruvian developers and investors direct access to the Cartesi ecosystem, a Layer-2 platform that enables complex and intensive computations running on a Linux OS, effectively bridging the gap between mainstream software and blockchain for dApp development.

  • What technical aspects of Cartesi (CTSI) should I know before a PEN transaction?

    Before buying, understand that CTSI is primarily an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, but it also exists on other chains like Polygon and BNB Chain. Its core function is to power the Cartesi network, which utilizes optimistic rollups for Layer-2 scaling. Developers use CTSI to pay for off-chain computations performed within a verifiable Linux environment, a key feature enabled by the Descartes SDK. When withdrawing from an exchange, ensure your digital wallet supports the correct network to avoid loss of funds.

  • How can I securely store my CTSI tokens after a PEN purchase, and can they be staked?

    After purchasing CTSI, it's highly recommended to move them from the exchange to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. For maximum security, a hardware wallet is the best option. Yes, CTSI tokens can be staked. You can delegate your tokens to a pool operator on Cartesi's Noether Proof-of-Stake side-chain. This staking process helps secure the network's data availability layer for its optimistic rollups and earns you staking rewards.

  • What are common payment methods in Peru for acquiring CTSI with PEN?

    To purchase this digital asset on a cryptocurrency exchange, users in Peru typically rely on local bank transfers (transferencia bancaria) from major banks like BCP or Interbank. Additionally, some peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms may support popular local payment apps such as Yape or Plin. It's crucial to use a regulated fiat gateway that adheres to local financial compliance for secure trading.

  • What are the typical KYC requirements for PEN to CTSI purchases?

    Most regulated cryptocurrency exchanges that offer a PEN fiat on-ramp will require KYC/AML compliance. This typically involves submitting a government-issued ID, like a Peruvian DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad), a proof of address, and sometimes a selfie for verification. These measures are standard for secure trading platforms to prevent fraud and comply with financial regulations, ensuring a safer transaction environment for all users.

  • What are the potential fees when converting PEN to CTSI?

    Several fees can be involved in a PEN to CTSI transaction. First, your bank may charge a fee for the PEN deposit to the cryptocurrency exchange. Second, the exchange itself will have a trading fee, either a fixed amount or a percentage of the trade volume. Finally, when you withdraw your CTSI to an external digital wallet, a blockchain transaction fee (network gas fee) will apply, which varies depending on the network (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon) and its current congestion.
