Ep. 374 João Garcia | Cartesi App-Specific Rollups Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

On episode 374 of the BlockHash Podcast, Developer Advocate João Garcia joins Brandon Zemp to explain Cartesi, an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions. Cartesi’s application-specific rollups push the boundaries of decentralized computation, paving the way for transformational change to the Web3 landscape. Cartesi empowers developers to go beyond the EVM’s design limitations, while still inheriting Ethereum’s strong security and censorship resistance guarantees. The Cartesi Virtual Machine runs a Linux operating system, giving Web3 developers access to decades of existing code libraries, programming languages, and open-source tooling that you can’t get on Ethereum. This allows for a new generation of gaming platforms, financial services, social networks, and other novel dApps to be discovered. João Garcia is a Developer Advocate at Cartesi.
