As part of our external efforts to communicate what’s brewing behind Cartesi’s closed doors, we’re shining new lights on the tremendous efforts in Cartesi’s development department for this month, with an objective-based list and some other exciting announcements regarding the expansion of the Cartesi team.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing segmented development videos, discussing everything about Cartesi’s development vision and progress, featuring Erick de Moura (CEO) and Augusto Teixeira (CSO).

Development Updates

The development team worked diligently during the IEO process on the Creepts tournament infrastructure that powered the centralized contest which promoted our launch on Binance.

  • The team implemented a new contest page with a real-time high scoreboard that reproduced and verified all submitted scores through Cartesi’s technology.

Over the past weeks, the team has been working hard on the upcoming SDK documentation, going into depth around how developers will easily use Cartesi to easily build new, full-featured DApps with the power of Linux.

  • We’ve now completed a summary of all of the Cartesi code and architecture, outlining how it works and what it does.
  • We are now completing the tutorials on how to easily use the infrastructure to build DApps.

We have also begun planning and architecture design on our Proof of Stake Sidechain, ironing out the details to begin implementation.

Welcome to Cartesi!

We’d like to formally introduce our two new development team members to everyone in the Cartesi community!
