About Cartesi

Cartesi (CTSI) is a Layer-2 platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications using standard Linux software stack rather than being restricted to blockchain-specific languages like Solidity. Using Optimistic Rollups with a verifiable Linux machine (RISC-V), Cartesi allows apps to be written in Python, C++, Rust, JavaScript — any language that compiles to Linux. This dramatically expands what's possible in dApps: machine learning models, game physics engines, complex computations previously impossible on-chain. CTSI is used for staking (enabling Proof of Stake security) and paying for node services.

How to Swap CTSI

Swapping Cartesi (CTSI) on SyntheticSwap requires no registration or KYC. CTSI operates across multiple chains including Ethereum, making it compatible with MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, and most major Web3 wallets. Open SyntheticSwap, select CTSI as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the floating rate. After sending CTSI to the provided deposit address, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. No personal information is ever collected — fully non-custodial.

How to Store CTSI

CTSI (ERC-20) is stored in MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet, or any Ethereum wallet. CTSI is also on BNB Chain and Polygon. For staking CTSI in Cartesi's Proof of Stake system, visit the Cartesi Explorer.
