Powering the Future of Scalability and Composability

Powering the Future of Scalability and Composability

Cartesi dApps can now tap into Espresso DA, combining Cartesi’s high-performance rollups and Linux execution environment with Espresso’s fast pre-confirmations and robust data availability. This integration enhances user experience with near-instant, consensus-backed confirmations, optimizes developer costs through efficient data availability, and strengthens interoperability — all while ensuring scalable, Ethereum-compatible computation.

Bringing a Secure, Scalable, Real-World Computer to Life

Bringing a Secure, Scalable, Real-World Computer to Life

Cartesi dApps can now leverage the Cartesi Coprocessor, enabling smart contracts to offload complex computations off-chain while securing the process through EigenLayer’s cryptoeconomic validation framework. By combining a Linux-compatible RISC-V deterministic virtual machine and leveraging restaked value, this integration ensures trustworthy and verifiable off-chain computing, extending Ethereum’s security to new dApps and unlocking future possibilities.
