CARTESI – CONNECTING LINUX TO THE BLOCKCHAIN 

The blockchain technology has risen to become one of the biggest technological advancements of our time. It came on the heels of the challenges tenable in the conventional computing environment. With the developments and release of different blockchain networks, it can be challenging to decide on the best ways to ensure that ensuring the connectivity of the blockchain network to other real world networks. It is important to point out that the quest to have more computations and development of Decentralized Applications (DApps) might not be possible or as expected because some issues are kicking against it.

THE BLOCKCHAIN CHALLENGE

Scalability is the biggest challenge that has been faced by the blockchain technology. It has been rampant in the development and scaling of Decentralized Applications (DApps), as well as in other medium that are necessary for the successful utilization of the blockchain technology.

Worthy of note is that Bitcoin and Ethereum were the primary blockchain networks, which also formed the basis for other projects to be hinged on them. On the contrary, despite the development of other blockchain networks on the duo of Bitcoin and Ethereum, much hasn’t been seem about how they could overcome the scalability downsides.

Second, Decentralized Application (DApp) developers have been looking for ways to make use of the complex programming languages to develop more DApps. That is not leaving out the consumption of more bandwidths in the course of making computations.

THE CARTESI SOLUTION

The Cartesi blockchain is that platform that has come forward to provide the needed infrastructures for the development, launch, and scaling of Decentralized Applications (DApps). As you would discover below, the platform has a suite of working features, which when delegated, would be able to create the much-needed scalability. Without much ado, here are some of the key features of the Cartesi blockchain that position it as a bridge between the real world and the existing blockchain structures.

LINUX INFRASTRUCTURE

The use of the Linux infrastructure is by far, one of the most predominant features of the Cartesi blockchain. The choice is not unconnected to the robustness of Linux and the wide acceptance it has in many use cases. It should be noted that Linux is famous for being one of the biggest and most used open-source Operating Systems (OS) that can be installed on mobile and tablet devices, Personal Computers (PCs), Supercomputers, Netbooks, Consoles, and Laptops.

It is also important to mention that the Cartesi blockchain works on the principle of bolstering full consensus over every other computation. It is on that note that the Layer-2 Scalability Solution is used to enable the implementation of intensive computations on off-chain networks, which are also based on the Cartesi Nodes. It is the Cartesi Nodes that liaise with the RISC-V architecture of the Linux system to achieve full-scale scalability in DApps development.

CONCLUSION

The Cartesi blockchain is on a commendable move to create a feasible approach to the connection of the real world computation system (buoyed by the Linux system) to that of the blockchain. When all is in place, we can be confident of having seamless movements from one blockchain network to the other.
