Cartesi to Showcase a Fully Decentralized Poker Game in Partnership with Polygon
We announced that we are partnering with Polygon to showcase a fully decentralized poker game built by Cartesi on our Cartesi Compute SDK and running on top of Polygon’s PoS Chain.
The Cartesi team is developing the game with Cartesi’s Cartesi Compute SDK using traditional software stacks as well as computationally intensive encryption algorithms (mental poker).
In addition, we announced we are integrating with Injective Protocol to enable mainstream developer adoption of the Injective Chain. Cartesi and Injective will enter into a research collaboration, exploring how to integrate Cartesi’s tools into the Injective ecosystem. The aim is to allow developers to utilize familiar programming tools from the world’s leading OS, unlocking tremendous smart contract capabilities offered by the highly interoperable and flexible Injective Chain — enabled by Cartesi.
CTSI, Reserve Mining, and Staking
Early in the month, we partnered with Messari to get Cartesi (CTSI) Verified and Connected to the Messari Registry!
Messari is a data analytics and transparency platform that is built for both enterprises and the public. Messari is centered on the future of crypto and a multi-trillion dollar asset class.
With Cartesi’s listing on Messari, we have another trusted source for high-profile enterprises, organizations, developers, and individuals to discover and research Cartesi and CTSI.
We announced that Binance has now enabled deposits and withdrawals for CTSI on Binance.com as a wrapped BEP-20 token on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). In addition to this, CTSI is now enabled on the Binance Bridge, which provides a safe, fast and secure way to bring cross-chain assets to Binance chains.
