The exploration of Cartesi Rollups continues 🚀 Part 2 of our deep dive into “Grokking Cartesi Rollups” is live! This time, we’re exploring the vast potential and design space enabled by app-specific rollups. 👇 https://cartesi.io/blog/understanding-cartesi-rollups-pt2 🔄 ICYMI, in the first part of our rollup series, we discussed the evolution of rollup technology and its contributions to scaling web3 applications. We introduced how Cartesi’s app-specific rollups in particular help alleviate congestion and give dApps access to much more computational power. In part 2, we ask the question: what else can Cartesi dApps do with more computing power? 🤔 In particular, we break down the missing piece of web3 scalability alongside computing power: design flexibility. 🔴 The Problem … design flexibility Gas wars and computing power are only one part of the scalability equation. Web3 developers today are limited in “design flexibility” - or, the ability to easily build applications with a variety of tools and resources available to them. 💡The Idea … EVM-alternatives Many L2s have tried to tackle this developer pain point by supporting EVM alternatives, such as EVM+ and WASM. These projects allow devs to code in more traditional, familiar languages. But … 👇 🟡 The (Second) Problem … operating systems Being able to write in a familiar language is different from being able to benefit from decades of existing open-source libraries and tooling. These open-source libraries give devs reusable pieces of code that give more flexibility and ease to builders. These open-source libraries depend on powerful operating systems (OS) for key services like memory management, security, and information access. But … EVM+ and WASM projects can’t fully support an OS infra, and L2 devs are stuck yet again with limited options. 🟢 The Solution … Cartesi Virtual Machine The Cartesi Virtual Machine (CVM) is a custom execution environment designed to integrate with OS. Specifically, CVM emulates the RISC-V ISA (the rulebook defining computer hardware & software interactions). RISC-V (and thus Cartesi) integrates easily with Linux, the most widely adopted and familiar open-source OS in the world. CVM can boot an entire Linux OS, giving Cartesi dApp developers access to decades of rich code libraries and open-source tooling. With CVM, web3 devs can evolve from developing in siloes with limited resources and no shared tooling, to developing in a vast, collaborative, and resource-rich environment. 🤝 ⭐ All this and more in the second part of our series: “Grokking Cartesi Rollups, Part 2” https://cartesi.io/blog/understanding-cartesi-rollups-pt2 Retweet: https://x.com/cartesiproject/status/1716820063892967932

Remember the earlier OpEd we did on CoinMarketCap? Here’s pt 2 coming through! https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/design-flexibility-the-new-pinnacle-of-web3-development Explore why design flexibility is a necessity for developers to build dApps that prioritize software functionality and user experience, free from infrastructure constraints.
