Cartesi’s March 2022 Monthly Recap
Check out the updates you don’t want to miss.
March 31st, 2022 — A fresh new look, plus the first of many new and exciting events.
This month kicked off by welcoming ten new brilliant members to the project. This includes five fantastic interns as part of our internship program to onboard the next generation to blockchain. Take a look at our welcome article to get to know more about them and see what attracted them to The Blockchain OS.
We were also excited to announce a partnership with CV Labs, bringing The Blockchain OS closer to startups and igniting the adoption of Cartesi tech by a variety of projects. Want to know what this means and how this will empower startups, developers, and visionaries of Crypto Valley? Catch up with our announcement post.
If you’re looking for updates within the ecosystem, we chatted with contributor, Locus Custom Software’s tech team who are currently building with Cartesi technology. Going behind the scenes in their process of working with The Blockchain OS, have a look at our interview to hear about the exciting developments they’re making.
What’s more, we’re continuing to empower the community through increased CTSI accessibility. March saw a new CTSI listing on Bitstamp, one of the world’s longest-running crypto exchanges, and Bitkeep, a popular wallet that supports 40+ main chains and DApps among 4,500+ other cryptocurrencies. Through this, we’re also increasing exposure of the Cartesi project to new communities — excited to welcome a combined 9 million Bitstamp and Bitkeep users to The Blockchain OS.
That’s not all. Stay up to date with the rest of March’s developments via our quick summaries below. See something that interests you? Click through to dive deeper:

The new visual language, brand line, pay-off, photography, and videos demonstrate how The Blockchain OS should be an inclusive platform, a home for next-generation applications, and a home for what’s next.

Choosing an eclectic part of town called Santa Teresa, in between creative studios and artistic hotspots, we partied at Casa Nossa (“our home”), providing drinks, food, and an awesome live DJ in a ‘home to what’s next’ atmosphere.
