As outlined in our <a href="https://medium.com/cartesi/cartesis-new-and-accessible-roadmap-fc5b8b8dda4c" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">roadmap article</a>, we’re moving towards more regular and frequent updates to keep our community in the loop on the progress we’re making to get Cartesi technology to the production level — to where a beautiful and diverse DApp ecosystem can flourish and grow.</p><p>Not too familiar with the components of Cartesi technology? Make sure you take a read through these introductory articles to get you up to speed before you dive in:</p><ul><li><a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/machine/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cartesi Machine</a></li><li><a href="https://docs.cartesi.io/cartesi-rollups/overview/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cartesi Rollups</a></li><li><a href="https://medium.com/cartesi/noethers-on-chain-infrastructure-595435911030" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Noether</a></li></ul><p>For a quick overview on November’s developments, check out the roadmap diagram below to see what’s new for the Cartesi Machine, Cartesi Rollups, and Noether.</p><p><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*TaGNqVWDp5x0YdZ96vo1xg.png" /></p><h3 id="the-cartesi-machine">The Cartesi Machine</h3><p><strong>The Cartesi Machine </strong>is Cartesi’s deterministic virtual machine that emulates a RISC-V architecture and can run a full-fledged Linux OS. It is a groundbreaking technology that offers a runtime for decentralized applications built with mainstream software.</p><h4>The Microarchitecture</h4><ul><li>The microarchitecture initial implementation was released with the new Machine Emulator SDK v0.13.0.</li></ul><h4>Self-Hosted Distributions</h4><ul><li>Experimentation with Gentoo self-hosted distribution and Alpine Linux were temporarily paused for our team to concentrate all energy on Cartesi Rollups and the microarchitecture work fronts.</li></ul><h4>Infrastructure for Rollups</h4><p>Here comes a list of improvements in our Machine emulator and its components to support Cartesi Rollups progress:</p><ul><li>Released Machine Emulator SDK v0.13.0.</li><li>RISC-V Hypervisor and compressed instruction extensions well under way.</li><li>Floating-point extensions merged and released.</li><li>TLB state now appears in the Merkle tree.</li><li>Optimized TLB implementation nearly doubles emulator performance.</li><li>Updated the Linux Kernel (5.15.63 latest LTS version).</li><li>Added support for debugging kernel-space code inside the emulator using GDB.</li><li>Improved log support on server-manager and remote-cartesi-machine.</li></ul><p><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0*TDDJgdMdZrWIOh-8" />GDB in action debugging kernel-space code inside our RISC-V emulator</p><h3 id="cartesi-rollups">Cartesi Rollups</h3><p><strong>Cartesi Rollups </strong>is<strong> </strong>Cartesi’s optimistic rollup layer-2 system relying on the Cartesi Machine to allow developers to create scalable decentralized applications with mainstream software components. It consists of on-chain and off-chain components that allow the blockchain to provide data availability, order input data, bridge tokens between layer-1 and layer-2, and serve as a referee in case of disputes.</p><h4>Road to Mainnet</h4><p><a href="https://medium.com/cartesi/hello-cartesi-rollups-0-8-0-e13c21fe23ce" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cartesi Rollups 0.8.0 is live!</a> Here’s a list of what this release entails:</p><ul><li>Cartesi’s Deployment System and Execution Infrastructure was successfully tested with <a href="https://www.optimism.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Optimism</a> and <a href="https://arbitrum.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arbitrum</a> using the Echo Python example.</li><li>Support for non <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-1559.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EIP-1559</a> transactions, which is the type of transaction that some chains like Optimism currently supports.</li><li>Lower latencies for Cartesi Rollups DApps when deployed on Optimism and/or Arbitrum.</li><li>Configurable log levels for all Cartesi Rollups components, and a much cleaner log output using the default configuration.</li><li>Better error handling during the DApp’s machine build process.</li><li>The emulator also brings TLB optimizations and Floating point support which will result in better performance for computation inside the Cartesi Machine.</li><li>The new release also brings important internal enhancements.</li></ul><h4>DApp Validator Nodes</h4><ul><li>Our Deployment System and cloud-based Execution Infrastructure is currently in continuous improvement stage, which means that the basic features are done and new features and/or fixes will come according usage. For more information, please <a href="https://github.com/cartesi/rollups-deployment" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">click here</a>.</li><li>Currently we have 20 Cartesi Rollups DApps running in our Execution Infrastructure and counting…</li></ul><h4>Rollups Enhancements</h4><ul><li>Two features mentioned above are the main enhancements for the Cartesi Rollups 0.8.0 release: Configurable log levels for Cartesi Rollups components and better error handling during the DApp’s machine build process. With these enhancements we expect that the development experience when creating Cartesi Rollups DApps will significantly improve.
