Hey team are you guys exploring / considering any future collaboration with Cartesi ($CTSI)?
In my view, this feels like one of the most natural and powerful tech pairings in Web3 right now. The two projects solve completely different (but highly complementary) problems.
Cartesi brings Linux-based environments → letting devs run serious application logic: complex games, AI models, heavy off-chain compute, custom mechanics stuff that's too expensive, too slow, or simply impossible with vanilla smart contracts.
The Graph nails indexing + querying → fast, structured, decentralized access to on-chain data for frontends, dashboards, explorers, analytics, etc.
The synergy is obvious:
Cartesi as the **execution layer** (heavy logic & computation)
The Graph as the **data layer** (indexing events, states, outputs → making everything queryable and transparent)
This combo would be killer for:
🎮 Web3 gaming: game logic on Cartesi, The Graph indexes events, player stats, leaderboards, rankings
📊 Analytics dashboards: app activity, inputs/outputs, historical data, user behavior
🔍 dApp explorers: easy browsing/filtering of Cartesi-based app data
🤖 AI / advanced compute: structured access to outputs, metadata, execution history
🌐 Cross-ecosystem plays: well-indexed data gets consumed way easier by other protocols, tools & UIs
This wouldn't feel like a forced "marketing partnership" — it's genuinely logical infrastructure layering that gives devs much stronger building blocks for next-gen apps.
Right now, most Web3 projects hit the same wall:
- Keep it simple & fully on-chain → limited logic
- Go advanced with off-chain → but then no clean, decentralized data/indexing layer
Cartesi + The Graph could directly solve that.
From a community/adoption angle it also makes tons of sense:
↑ utility for Cartesi dApps
↑ data accessibility for users & devs
↑ faster tooling (UI, leaderboards, stats, analytics)
→ real example of execution layer + indexing layer working together
Super curious — has this direction ever been discussed internally? Any early thoughts/evaluations around integrating with Cartesi?
Feels like one of those rare collabs with strong technical logic AND real value for the ecosystem. 🚀
What do you think?
@joaopdgarcia@cartesiproject “prompt → app” workflows showing how fast ideas can become verifiable Linux apps
It’s relatively cheap, easy to ship, and could do a lot to accelerate developer mindshare.
3/3
@joaopdgarcia@cartesiproject A few practical, cheap wins:
Claude/Codex guides for building Cartesi apps step by step
ready-to-run starter templates
simple demo apps people can fork instantly
2/3
@VitalikButerin So in that sense, Cartesi already looks like an example of the “new path” you’re outlining: an L2 that isn’t primarily about scaling Ethereum,
