Cartesi is a modular execution layer protocol that provides developers with access to a complete Linux environment; Avail is a modular blockchain framework designed to unify web3 and optimize data availability for scalable and customizable applications (DA), the two are pleased to announce a close collaboration to significantly advance web3 development.

The integration will leverage Cartesi’s Linux-based RISC-V execution capabilities and Avail’s reliable data availability solution, Avail DA, to provide developers with a seamless and intuitive experience. This user-friendly approach will simplify the complexity of decentralized application development, enabling faster and more efficient project deployment.

The modular stack allows both protocols to combine their unique properties, resulting in a more powerful protocol that is more powerful than a monolithic stack that integrates all functionalities. In this sense, the Cartesi-Avail integration will allow developers to benefit from the enhanced computing power and flexible programming environment of the Cartesi stack while also taking advantage of the enhanced data availability capabilities of Avail DA.

“By combining Cartesi’s state-of-the-art RISC-V-based Linux execution environment with Avail DA, we are setting a new standard for ease and efficiency in protocol development. This partnership enables developers to overcome traditional barriers to accelerate innovation and deployment of next-generation decentralized applications. We are excited to drive this leap forward in web3 development,” said Anurag Arjun, co-founder of Avail.

The collaboration between Cartesi and Avail marks an important milestone in the web3 space. A dedicated data availability layer ensures that critical transaction data remains available and verifiable, while significantly reducing the costs associated with on-chain data availability. This makes decentralized applications (dApps) more affordable and accessible, while reliable data availability is critical for the execution layer to seamlessly execute transactions and contracts.

“The integration of Cartesi and Avail brings powerful infrastructure to web3, enabling new possibilities and use cases. This is exciting for us and a breath of fresh air for the industry,” said Erick de Moura, co-founder of Cartesi.

The partnership is expected to drive the creation of a more robust and versatile ecosystem, particularly benefiting the gaming and DeFi verticals, empowering developers to experiment and innovate without the limitations of current infrastructure.


Cartesi provides developers with a complete Linux environment through its native virtual machine and designs high-performance rollups to support the next generation of dApps. By bridging the gap between traditional software and blockchain, Cartesi enables developers to easily create more complex and scalable dApps. Avail DA provides secure data availability guarantees for the entire blockchain network, enabling it to scale efficiently and without limits. Proof of validity using data availability sampling provides strong security and enhanced scalability for blockchain applications.

About Cartesi

Cartesi is an application-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine running a Linux distribution, creating a richer and broader design space for DApp developers.

Cartesi Rollups provide a modular scaling solution that can be deployed as L2, L3, or sovereign Rollups while maintaining strong base layer security guarantees.

About Avail:

Led by former Polygon co-founder Anurag Arjun, Avail is building a unifying layer to solve rollup fragmentation at scale. Avail fundamentally solves blockchain scalability issues with Avail DA, a foundational DA layer that implements the same technologies planned in Ethereum’s danksharding roadmap, including KZG commitments and Data Availability Sampling (DAS). Avail Nexus solves the growing fragmentation problem by leveraging proof aggregation on Avail’s scalable DA layer, enabling permissionless interoperability. Avail’s security is enhanced with multi-asset staking with Avail Fusion. Start your unification journey. https://www.availproject.org/
