New project uses rollups to build a decentralized computer

One of the last cryptocurrencies to enter the Binance Launchpad called Cartesi, has presented a virtual machine based on the Linux operating system and is a design focused on rollups that will have as its main objective to serve as a channel for developers to run any type of application computing protected by blockchain.

Cartesi is used through a slightly modified version of Optimistic Rollups which is considered a layer two technology, developed within the Ethereum ecosystem and its function in the market is to boost the virtual machine.

It is important to mention that the Cartesi virtual machine emulates a RISC-V microprocessor architecture, which translates into an open source alternative to the ARM instruction set commonly used in M1-based Apple computers or smartphones.

This RISC-V microprocessor allows processing Linux-based software environments, the advantage of this is that smart contracts can be developed in any language and ecosystem under development, as long as it is compatible with the operating system.

For his part, Erick de Moura, founder of Cartesi, asserted that these types of projects are designed to develop much more complex calculations than those offered by the Ethereum virtual machine. “Other rollup solutions only make the Solidity code work better in Layer 2. However, we are creating something much closer to a real decentralized computer with a real operating system,” said Moura.
