The Current State of CTSI
Note: The information provided below is dynamic in nature and therefore, information presented may not reflect accurate estimations at the time of reading. The current circulating supply for CTSI remains below the Binance research report estimates, due to market making funds on BINANCE being decoupled from the figures reflected on Coinmarketcap. We’re actively working with all market-cap sites to reflect the accurate state of CTSI’s circulating supply.

July 23rd, 2020 Unlock
In accordance with information that has been communicated previously, the very first Cartesi Foundation unlock will occur in the amount of 31,900,000 CTSI (3.19%) of the total supply on July 23rd, 2020.
There remains an exceptional quantity of future endeavors that will vastly shape Cartesi’s economy and development ecosystem as a whole.
Where does the funding go?
- Research and development of Cartesi’s Technology
- Marketing and community-based objectives
- Legal Expenses
- Development Grants
Internal governance consensus is reached by the Cartesi Foundation before devoting or expending CTSI to any event. The Cartesi team holds all its funds in crypto, stablecoins, and fiat. Funds are stored with cold storage multi-signature wallets and USD bank accounts. Moving or using funds requires the approval of at least 3 out of the 5 executives of Cartesi.
The Foundation reserve unlocks are vital for the development of Cartesi’s tech, bootstrapping its ecosystem, and for the operations of the Foundation itself.
No entity or token holder is more interested in the health of CTSI’s economy than the Foundation itself for its entire existence and longevity. The Foundation liquidates only the amounts deemed necessary, remaining careful not to disturb the secondary markets of CTSI.
Unlock Forecast for 2020
Each successive Cartesi foundation unlock will occur on a quarterly basis (every 3 months), occurring on the 23rd day of the new quarter. For the remainder of 2020, the Cartesi Foundation will conclude with one other acquisition of tokens in the amount of 31,900,000 CTSI (3.19%) on October 23rd, 2020. This combined with the July 23rd, 2020 unlock will consist of 6.38% of the total CTSI supply for the remainder of 2020.
These Cartesi Foundation tokens will bring the grand total to 16.15% CTSI supply unlocked for the Cartesi Foundation since the Binance Launchpad sale.
The token releases remain consistent with our current report valuations and are obtained upon each corresponding internal milestone achieved. The Cartesi Foundation constructed these unlocks to be steady while remaining relatively small and consistent; this is in contrast to the majority of other cryptocurrency and blockchain tokens and preceding Binance Launchpad cryptocurrencies.
In total, 40.22% of the total CTSI supply is reserved for the Cartesi foundation and will be fully vested by July 23rd, 2023.
