Did you know Cartesi is being taught at universities? Over 100 students have enrolled in Cartesi courses across several universities in Brazil, led by @_aarocha from @uff_br. Now in its second year, this initiative builds on a previous course covering blockchain fundamentals, Linux basics, and the core concepts behind Cartesi tech.

Be sure to join the Cartesi Ecosystem Recap call on Monday to hear exciting updates from UFF and the Brazilian community. Keep tabs on @cartesibr for fresh updates on Cartesi in Brazil!

Community feedback is rolling in on the Validator Marketplace proposal. This marketplace aims to connect validators with dApps, enhance token utility, and introduce a new economic model to drive community participation. Be sure to drop your thoughts too, we’d love to hear!
