Have you ever imagined what technology is doing that affects our daily lives? From our smartphones, computers, office applications, games, tools, programs and many more that is created to make our lives easier. Technology itself is a boon and without it, life would be dull and development would be stale.

In this review about Cartesi, I will make a comprehensive explanation on what Cartesi does and what it is all about in a way that beginners could understand.

Introducing Cartesi,

Cartesi is a Linux Infrastructure for scalable decentralized applications. It is a new operating system using the blockchain technology in the Linux infrastructure so that mainstream developers can easily develop DApps with the tools, libraries, and services they are already familiar with.

Linux is a tried-and-true, open-source operating system released in 1991 for computers, but its use has expanded to underpin systems for cars, phones, web servers and, more recently, networking gears. Experts says that Linux is the counterpart of Windows OS, if you are wondering how about Mac OS? he’s there alone in the dark. Linux also is proven to have better security features and user friendly application customizable according to your description. Discovered in 1991, Linux had established an easy and familiar command which is already known to developers of any kind, also taught in schools.

Fire up with the Blockchain

Nick Szabo and Satoshi Nakamoto are the names behind this breakthrough. Initially started by Szabo on his cryptographic research “Bit Gold”, precursor of “Bitcoin” which is created by Nakamoto.

A blockchain, originally block chain, is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is resistant to modification of the data.

Using Blockchain technology comes with the promise of decentralized finance, decentralized web, trustless framework for Internet of Things, and many more, endless possibility. It gives the power to the people.

Promise was good but in reality, application is hard than anyone could imagine and as a matter of fact after 10 years from the date of discovery and Bitcoin application, there are only few working product using the blockchain out of thousands of cryptocurrencies, and it is because the lack of technical infrastructure has limited the power of DApps and kept us on a slow and frustrating road to adoption.

Solution

Coding using Blockchain is very hard and almost impossible in certain degrees. Until resolved, the dream for the masses to acquire true decentralization is far on it’s place. We need to first, have a proper technology for developers to develop/code in their own familiarity which is the Linux Infra and hopefully adoption could no longer be a fantasy.

Cartesi is solving the solution for developers to execute their ideas. Cartesi is created to bridge the gap between blockchains and the mainstream software development world.

Following is the Products Cartesi will create ;

The first sample application — a fully decentralized tower defense tournament.
SDK and Tutorials. Cartesi will make it easy for developers to create and deploy powerful DApps.
CTSI — A token designed to provide greater security and provide DApp users with a relatable Web2.0-like experience (more on that soon)
A novel staking mechanism in which participants know exactly how much return they will get for their staked tokens. Stay tuned for more information.
An ASIC-resistant mining software that will bootstrap the Cartesi Network. It will reward early adopters with CTSI rewards for supporting the network
A plan to integrate Cartesi with the most important public blockchains, making Cartesi DApps portable across the desired consensus layers

Providing the tools and cryptocurrency utility, Cartesi would be able to interact to the crowd in the most user-friendly and efficient way, guiding them towards blockchain technology. They lay down and search the blockchain and come out with the solution.

Blockchain DApps would be extremely efficient if created well, Cartesi is solving the problem to give chance to mainstream developers to adapt in this breakthrough.

The Team

Crucial to every business success is the team. The one who is doing the work and getting everything done. With their expertise lies the possibilities that maybe, the idea is possible.

The team of Cartesi consist of PhD. Researchers in computer science, probability, and distributed computing, Cartesi is loaded with the brain and experience, check them out.

Erick de Moura (CEO) — Technical leader and serial entrepreneur with deep experience in designing systems that people actually use.

Augusto Teixeira, PhD (Chief Scientific Officer) — Mathematician with a Ph.D. from ETH-Zurich and a post-doc from Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris specializing in probability and graph theory.

Marco Mirabella (CBDO)

Diego Nehab, PhD (CTO) — Computer scientist with a Ph.D. from Princeton University and a post-doc from Microsoft Research, specializing in GPGPU

.Colin Steil (COO) — Previous venture capitalist and execution master with years of experience in business operations across the globe. The doer.

Danilo Tuler (Head of Engineering) — Is a previous CTO and tech company founder with a successful exit.

Felipe Argento (Blockchain Engineer)

Victor Fuso (SSE)

Stephen Chen (Software Engineer)

Serguei Popov, PhD (Senior Advisor) — Co-Founder of IOTA

Conclusion

Having Cartesi is a huge help in the blockchain space for non-blockchain developers to enter an collaborate new ideas. Adoption won’t be adoption if we are only reaching the user-side using few products in which sometimes too complicated to understand and to use without thinking of the back-end, the developers. With the expertise of the team, I am confident that everything would be possible and the new era of decentralized web is near to reach.
