The growth of Cartesi
Cartesi is a blockchain platform introduced to the public on April 14, 2020. The platform aims to introduce ease of use and scalability to decentralized applications (dApps). The platform plans to roll out new improvements and features to reach its goal.
Cartesi operates on layer two and offers benefits such as lower transaction fees, faster processing, and upgraded smart contract transaction privacy. CTSI is vital for the smooth operation of Cartesi’s Data Ledger, a side-chain for temporary data storage.
The platform leverages off-chain computation allowing smooth integration of blockchain technology and mainstream software.
Cartesi made a significant step towards expanding the Cartesi ecosystem contributors’ network by introducing its Community Grants Program (CGP). The program allows CTSI token holders to participate actively in the project’s governance, which includes distributing grant program funding.
The program’s launch made the CTSI token gain more value and utility as the token holders can participate in Cartesi’s ecosystem future.
The CTSI token has more than 1M USD in funding available. Token holders seeking funding can refer to the CGP rules, guidelines, and review process before submitting their applications.
Cartesi plans to introduce other community governance-driven programs, such as the CGP.
