Cartesi’s Radically Simple Mission: To give web3 developers the space to think, innovate and create.
How Cartesi is powering a new wave of web3 innovation
Written By Erick de Moura
Since its inception, blockchain has been touted as a revolutionary technology. We are inching ever closer to building the next generation of the Internet. But as fast as this industry moves, progress can sometimes feel slow, and the promise of web3 can feel very far away.
Modularity is the next stage of our industry’s metamorphosis. An unbundling and rethinking of the blockchain stack to overcome the friction points that came with monolithic design. A new paradigm that puts more power in the hands of developers and what they aspire to build.
Yet, too often, as an industry, we become siloed in our thinking – fixating on just one piece of the puzzle at the expense of the big picture of what we’re trying to create. We glorify jargon, disconnecting us from the people for whom we build this technology. We waste time reinventing the wheel, ignoring what we’ve already made. Our pivotal progress risks getting buried beneath the sheer noise, competition, and hype that we’ve come to favor in our industry.
We are an industry building complex solutions to complex problems. We are working on the hard stuff, from constructing robust fraud-proof systems to bringing unparalleled computational capacity to blockchain execution.
But do you know what’s even harder? Making complex technology simple enough to build with. We ask what we can do to make our technology radically simple so that developers know where to start, don’t ever build from scratch, and get closer to realizing the potential of web3.
For us to bring web3 forward, we need to be more simple minded. We must always be thinking about making development more accessible to anyone wanting to build. Development decisions should be easier, dissolving the complexities of backend tech to deliver a front-end experience that will enable builders to work without restraint.
Our radically simple mission: to give developers more space to think, innovate and create.
Radically Simple is more than a campaign. It is our call to return to the fundamentals of what we are building and why. In many ways, the rallying cry for our vision of a freer and open internet is radically simple. We strive to do better for the developers who are helping us achieve that vision by bridging the gap between our infrastructure and end-users through functional dApps.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
Cartesi arms developers with the tools to:
Radically Simple invites our fellow protocol builders to join us as we empower developers to do more with blockchain. To be more conscious in our efforts, to dissolve our silos, and share innovation freely and willingly.
To builders, we invite you to explore Cartesi’s resources and experiment with its tools when building your next dApp. Test the limits of what you can create with us. Dare to think bigger.
We’ve pushed hard to bring the Cartesi vision to life and foster the culture of collaboration we so critically need to bring this industry forward.
At EthCC, we debated modular security with leaders from Espresso, Scroll, and Avail, moderated by Bankless host David Hoffman, before exploring how to revolutionize fraud proofs with Celestia, Optimism, Ethereum Foundation, and Offchain Labs. You can watch it here and join the conversation.
We held our second Cartesi Experiment Week, focused on IoT, gaming, infra, DeFi and web3 authentication, driving greater innovation across a variety of novel use cases on Cartesi. We launched a Udemy course to give passionate non-native developers the resources to learn how to start building on-chain. There is plenty more to come; join us .
We have an opportunity to pool the best of our individual progress for a greater collective purpose—a shared vision of web3. Our technology is becoming more connected, more powerful, and our community continues to grow. But we must keep going.
Let’s simplify the developer journey so that they can get to work on more ambitious dApps. Let’s bridge our tech and make blockchain infrastructure more composable, scalable, secure, and decentralized. Let’s ask ourselves how we can handle complexity with radical simplicity so that the results are frictionless and the user experience flawless.
Let’s make space for more great ideas.
