Hello, pioneers.
Cartesi Labs. A program run by the Cartesi Foundation; to fund research, to develop a decentralized system with our technology stack, to the future-minded you. From the tech pioneer to the daring developer, this is all about bringing existing software to The Blockchain OS. This is our moment to create whole new territories together.
Decentralized apps on
The Blockchain OS
Bold, pioneering, ground breaking use cases for a better world, supported by Lab grants.
Locus brings AI and biometrics to Cartesi. Using the Cartesi Machine Linux environment, they create previously impossible DApps with mainstream libraries like OpenCV.
Dakai is prototyping a DEX for Cartesi Rollups. Based on Cartesi's scalable, decentralized Linux infrastructure, it keeps the strong security guarantees of existing DEXs while going beyond automated market making (AMM) to give users an order book experience, like CEXs.
Sotatek is building a DApp for decentralized, trustworthy ride-sharing. Geofences establish the permissible zones for a journey, and deviations might result in a fee for the driver.
The INPETU Institute and UFF are building a public bus monitoring system that can issue fines for e.g. delays, while still being trustless and decentralized.
As a Web2 software house, Webchefs is building a decentralized application with a mainstream database and PHP framework.
Prototypes for a fairer, better game.
Welcome to Labs.
For the developers, the pioneers, and the idealists, Cartesi foundation provides the step up. With extra cheques and contributions coming from crowdsourcing platforms, accredited investors, and other Cartesi partners, this is all about providing invaluable technical and strategic advice to ensure the success of our future-minded folk.
