EigenLayer and Cartesi Unite to Drive Web3 Innovation

• Cartesi’s Linux Coprocessor with EigenLayer’s restaking enhances Web3 scalability and security.
• Their unique hackathon encourages innovation in decentralized applications.

Cartesi and EigenLayer are joining forces to create more significant inroads with decentralized technology. They will combine Cartesi’s Linux-based rollups with EigenLayer’s Ethereum restaking protocol. This alliance aims to provide developers with better tools for building next-level decentralized applications (dApps). These tools will support scale, security, and seamless coexistence with traditional software.

EigenLayer is a decentralized restaking protocol that allows Ethereum validators to extend their security guarantees into new networks and services. Designed on top of existing staking infrastructure, EigenLayer avoids the need for separate developer-specific validator networks. Meanwhile, Cartesi has a Linux Coprocessor, allowing its developers to use familiar languages and tools to bridge the space between Web2 and Web3 development.

Cartesi and EigenLayer Partner to Accelerate Web3 Adoption

As part of the collaboration, Cartesi and EigenLayer are hosting an internal hackathon called Experiment Week #3 from February 10-17, exclusively. This will allow the core protocol developers to prototype dApps focused on real-world applications for mainstream adoption.

I was thrilled by this edition,” said Felipe Argento, Co-founder and Advisor at Cartesi. “Previous editions were already a success, but this one is going to be more powerful, with EigenLayer on board.” Nader Dabit, Director of Developer Advocacy at EigenLayer, said the Cartesi Linux-powered rollups enable way more complex applications on-chain.

Promising AI applications are also envisioned for Web3. The security model of Coprocessor of Cartesi and EigenLayer enables the developers to work on data integrity, transparency, and verifiability issues associated with AI-based decentralized ecosystems. Executing AI on-chain is still a costly and complex task due to the current computational limitations of blockchain, but this collaboration may introduce new, efficient solutions.

With EigenLayer’s restaking abilities, Web3 builders can take advantage of a marketplace for trust, making new applications less friction to get into. No longer must individual developers secure their networks but can instead use EigenLayer’s Cryptoeconomic Security as a Service to speedily launch and secure blockchain-based solutions.

This marks a much-needed step in the direction of making decentralized applications more accessible and practical for developers and users. Combined, Cartesi and EigenLayer are defining how infrastructure protocols should operate together to advance Web3 innovation and adoption.
