Cartesi Ecosystem Recap #10
Dive into Tech and Community updates from across the Cartesi Ecosystem!
Written By Siannie Quartero
Tuesday, Oct 3rd ā September saw a major milestone moment for the Cartesi ecosystem; Cartesi Rollups launched on Mainnet with its first app-specific rollup DApp, Honeypot!
Setting up a Honeypot for hackers to come and test Cartesi Rollups security not only opens up Cartesi tech to the the wider community, but an unbroken honeypot holding hefty funds boosts the confidence of developers (and users!) in the security of Cartesi's tech, making the Cartesi ecosystem ready to welcome more DApps holding real assets!
To celebrate the launch, core contributors across the Cartesi Ecosystem came together for an X Spaces session to discuss all things Honeypot and what this means for Cartesi. Short on time? No sweat - catch up with the main takeaways in this bite-sized thread. And if you really canāt get enough of Honeypot content, check out the AMA we did with the biggest Web3 subreddits around, r/cryptocurrency and this blog post. For any Mandarin speakers out there, take a look at the AMA hosted by contributors Jacky and Stephen in the Cartesi China community!
Also excited to see the Web3 community joining us in celebrating this milestone. Check some of the features the Honeypot received from different media outlets in the space: The Block, YahooFinance, CoinMarketCap, and CoinDesk to name just a few!
Now that Cartesi has reached a Mainnet Ready stage, developers are able to build DApps with Cartesi Rollups and deploy on Ethereum, Optimism and Arbitrum Mainnets! Weāre heading into a new era, everyone!
P.S. Check out the new video created by ecosystem contributor Noir, introducing Cartesi:

Creating your first Cartesi DApp can seem intimidating at first. Luckily, one awesome community member has just the right read for you! Check out Ericās blogpost on creating your first Cartesi DApp.
Itās always great to see more and more people contributing to the Cartesi ecosystem - if youāre looking for ways to get involved, here are some new DevAdvocacy initiatives you can get stuck into:
Letās shout out the hacking team Zach, Felipe, Danilo, and Eduardo, who made it to ETHGlobal New Yorkās finalist selection with Doom Arena, a distributed DApp for managing and creating contests around the DOOM games. Not only did they make it to the top 13 finalists of the hackathon, they also took first place in ApeCoin DAOās track for Best Integration and placed 3rd in WalletConnectās track for Most Innovative Project!
Catch them on the ETHGlobal stage, presenting their winning project to 1400 hackers:
Good news all around for the Community Grants Program! The RFP for Complex Vouchers has been completed! The code has been integrated with the Cartesi codebase; review it over on GitHub.
A Solidity library that extends the expressiveness of the Cartesi voucher system is important for the development of Cartesi DApps. Providing this level of flexibility opens up the possibility of expanding the behaviour of vouchers to support more complex interactions by targeting smart contracts that extend their functionalities. Huge thanks to Felipe Bizzo for their contribution! š„³
And thatās not all! To address challenges faced by proposers in the current process, the CGP has undergone a revamp. A Grants Council of four members has been established with a goal to enhance the efficiency and consistency of the application process for proposers. Leading the new changes is Cartesiās new grants steward, Hellen! Take a look at her post on the Governance forum to learn more about the new Grants Council and procedures.
