Cartesi’s layer-2 technology provides a Linux infrastructure to run the smart contacts and dApps off-chain. While this integration will open gates of Linux environment for developers using Avalanche it also off-chains all the complex calculations. As a result, Avalanche will gain higher computational scalability with Cartesi infrastructure.
In simple words, Cartesi enables DApp developers to use the tools, software, and programming languages they are already familiar with. As a result, Avalanche will garner the interest of a broader software community to develop the next generation of decentralized applications.
Timeline of Integration
According to the official blog, Cartesi’s decentralized computational oracle, Descartes, will be integrated into Avalanche by Q1 2021. Basically, Descartes SDK is the simplest infrastructure that can be used by DApps to run heavy computations. The computations involved in DApps are generally very complex or need to process a huge amount of data.
Once the Descartes integration is completed, the Cartesi team will work with Ava Labs to research the integration of Cartesi Machine with Avalanche. Primarily, Avalanche will use Cartesi Machine for off-chain verifiable computation. This will bring mainstream scalability to DApps. According to Cartesi, the DApps that run inside Cartesi Machines can process virtually unlimited amounts of data. Additionally, they can 4 times faster than the DApps that run on the blockchain.
DApp Incubation Program
On 1 March 2021, Cartesi concluded its Gitcoin Grant round for the DApp Incubation program. According to an official tweet, Carti, the decentralized Cartesi Machine package manager received over $11k out of the $20k matching round.
The @gitcoin Grants round for our DApp Incubation Program projects has now ended! @CreolControl, @SimracerCoin, and @cartipkgr all received great support from the community!
@cartipkgr received more than $11k of the $20k matching round, congratulations!https://t.co/NwZWU4gAon
