<a href="https://cartesi.io/?utm_source=chainwire&amp;utm_campaign=cgp_pressrelease&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_content=cgp_wave1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cartesi</a> (CTSI), an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions, announced today an allocation for $1 million to the <a href="https://app.charmverse.io/cartesi-grants-program/cartesi-grants-program-30627419508637854" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cartesi Grants Program</a>. The program is dedicated to fostering developer talent and enriching the Cartesi ecosystem by supporting new ideas &amp; dApps, research &amp; integrations, developer tooling and gaming. Independent developers, founding teams, DAOs, communities and collectives can apply starting today, Tuesday, January 30th and have the opportunity to receive up to $50,000 USDC per project, subject to community vote. Through this grants program, Cartesi aims to increase the number of long-term contributors and developers building novel applications on Cartesi.&nbsp;
Areas of focus:
<ul>
 <li>New ideas &amp; dApps: Applications and experiments built using the Cartesi framework that offers value to the broader ecosystem. Currently, Cartesi is supporting <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/t/rfp-003-beginner-solidity-complex-vouchers/90" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Complex Vouchers</a>, an advanced voucher system for external interactions.</li>
 <li>Research &amp; Integrations: Split into two tracks, Track 1 focuses on research and solutions that integrate Cartesi technology with other innovative technologies. For example, <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/t/funded-cartenix-run-nix-inside-cartesi/216" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cartenix</a> uses the Cartesi VM and Nix Package system to leverage reproducible builds in a deterministic and verifiable environment. Having this on-chain provides a much higher level of security and trustlessness for developers.</li>
 <li>Track 2 is dedicated to in-depth research on topics identified as crucial for the advancement of the Cartesi ecosystem. For example, open-source research associated with RISC-V, ZK, and Cartesi.</li>
 <li>Developer tooling: Tools that simplify and enhance the experience for developers building on Cartesi. For example, <a href="https://governance.cartesi.io/t/tooling-drand-for-cartesi/127" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Drand</a> is a component of a larger set of tools for generating random numbers on Cartesi’s convenience layer. The goal is to create a framework for Cartesi that will make it easy for web3 developers to create dApps using Cartesi.</li>
 <li>Gaming: Games that uniquely leverage the capabilities of Cartesi, such as open-source games that can be reused and built upon, game frameworks, convenience layers, and other infrastructure contributions. Currently under development is <a href="https://rolluplab.io/dazzle/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dazzle</a>, a competitive online puzzle RPG that leverages Cartesi Rollups and the Cartesi Machine for high-stake, e-sport-like tournaments.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
“This grants program is designed to foster long-term collaboration within the Cartesi ecosystem and increase the convenience and scalability of dApp development for both developers and users,” said <a href="https://twitter.com/hellenstans" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hellenstans.eth</a>, Grants Steward in the Cartesi ecosystem. “The grants program offers financial support and invaluable technical guidance to kickstart any developer's project.”
Cartesi’s first dApp, <a href="https://honeypot.cartesi.io/?utm_source=chainwire&amp;utm_campaign=cgp_pressrelease&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_content=cgp_wave1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Honeypot</a>, launched on the Ethereum mainnet this past summer. This dApp is designed to encourage developers to challenge the security of Cartesi Rollups. The Honeypot fund constantly increases by a compounded 8% weekly and is currently unbroken, holding 139,861 CTSI.&nbsp;
The Cartesi Foundation has committed $1,000,000 in total to the first two waves of the Cartesi Grants Program. During Wave 1, the Grants Program will allocate a maximum of $500,000 USDC, with a further $500,000 USDC available for allocation during Wave 2.
The Cartesi Grants Program's goal for Wave 1 is to significantly ramp up in speed and scale in future rounds of grant funding by gathering feedback on the grant process and lowering friction for proposers looking to apply for grants.
