Question 1

What is it?

Accepted Answer

Cartesi (CTSI) is a utility token native to the Cartesi platform, an innovative layer-2 infrastructure that aims to address the issues of scalability and high costs in blockchain development. Launched in 2018, the project brings mainstream programming tools, libraries, and services to the world of decentralized applications (DApps).

The CTSI token is an essential part of the Cartesi ecosystem. It is used as a crypto fuel for Noether, Cartesi's side-chain designed for temporary data availability. It also plays a role in the network's staking mechanism, serving as a tool for network participants to secure the platform, incentivizing honest behavior, and disincentivizing potential malicious actions.

**The Cartesi Project**

Cartesi is built around the concept of a Decentralized Computational Oracle, which executes complex computations off-chain while maintaining the same level of security guarantees provided by the underlying blockchain. This system is designed to allow DApps to be coded in mainstream software stacks, reducing the entry barriers for developers and improving the user experience for end-users. The project is built to support various blockchains, thus fostering a multichain ecosystem.

Question 2

What is it used for?

Accepted Answer

As a utility token, CTSI has several use cases within the Cartesi platform. It serves as a network fuel for Noether's data availability side-chain, where it's used to pay for temporary data storage. The token is also employed in a staking mechanism, allowing users to participate in network consensus and secure the system against potential attacks.

Furthermore, CTSI will also be used to incentivize and reward developers who build and deploy DApps on the Cartesi platform, encouraging ongoing growth and development in the ecosystem. This creates a self-sustaining economy, whereby the rewards for participation are directly related to the network's overall success.

Question 3
