As of 2022 Descartes has now been renamed as Cartesi Compute.

We are excited to announce that Cartesi is collaborating with Gather Network, to enable CTSI as a payment method for the Gather Network ecosystem and rewards program.

Gather has built a marketplace-based platform that allows publishers to monetize content with fewer or no ads. Gather provides businesses and developers access to affordable and reliable processing power through the Gather Cloud.

Upon completing Cartesi’s CTSI integration, Gather Network publishers (who are website and application owners) will be able to choose to receive their reward payments in CTSI.

Cartesi and Gather Network will also further co-operate on exploring other integrations efforts such as:

  • Porting Cartesi’s Cartesi Compute v1.1 to the Gather Network blockchain.
  • Gather Network nodes joining as validators for both Cartesi Compute’ upcoming marketplace and Noether’s PoS delegation system.

Cartesi’s Cartesi Compute SDK brings the ability to scale computation and to use mainstream software components to build decentralized logic. This design creates new opportunities for more elaborate and processing-intensive applications and also the opportunity for the adoption of mainstream developers.

“The Internet is cluttered with too many ads. Users are longing for a clean experience with the web while service providers search for new revenue models. By leveraging blockchain tech and cryptoeconomic incentives, Gather is rolling out a promising solution for these real-world issues. We are glad to collaborate with Gather’s mission, exploring ways to integrate Cartesi’s technology and CTSI with their ecosystem.” said Erick de Moura, CEO of Cartesi.

“By starting a collaboration with Cartesi, we’re on our way to redefine & discover Gather’s endless possibilities by expanding our reach & also our horizons thanks to Cartesi’s big development hub.” added Reggie Raghav Jerath, Founder & CEO of Gather Network

Cartesi and Gather will continue to work closely together to allow for easy deployments of DApps for developers, and most importantly, the mainstream adoption of blockchain-enabled solutions.

Anyone with an interest in Cartesi, Gather, or with questions of any sort should join Cartesi’s development community on Discord!

About Gather

Gather has developed a powerful new technology that allows web and mobile developers to earn money by contributing processing power , unlike any other digital monetization tool available today. Imagine an Internet where web and application developers can generate revenue without having to rely on intrusive Ads. A new revenue stream without ads, and one that is reliable and rewarding. The processing power gathered will then be redistributed, providing a cheaper alternative to current Cloud markets products. Gather is unlocking a new type of business model for the internet by allowing publishers to monetize without ads and by providing businesses and developers access to affordable and reliable processing power.
