Wanted to briefly share one recent article on what separates Cartesi from most other blockchains
DApps should be capable of performing computations like the ones “centralized” applications regularly do. DApp development should have access to the languages, libraries, and tools that are standard in modern operating systems like Linux. Going even further, we should strive for a higher-level infrastructure that is generic and scalable while abstracting away the nuts and bolts of individual blockchains and consensus layers. Developers should be able to focus on their specific DApp logic instead of dealing with the intricacies of state channels, side-chains, and the blockchain itself. DApps should be easily portable across different blockchains.
