CTSI Mining — How it Works
This quarter, Cartesi will release its mainnet Proof of Stake system. As discussed in our how it works article, this will include many of the crucial ingredients that will make Cartesi such a unique scalability solution for decentralized applications.
The Cartesi Proof of Stake system will be the first moment in which people will be able to gain Cartesi Tokens in exchange for running our network nodes. This shift is extremely important, as it will bootstrap the adoption of our staking system and guarantee that a growing percentage of tokens are staked into the network. Such participation is vital to the security of our infrastructure.
Learn more about how it works.
