The current crypto adoption rate is truly impressive. Every month, major companies announce their plans to begin accepting cryptocurrencies as payment. Moreover, Bitcoin and Ethereum no longer dominate the crypto realm, and merchants opt for less popular but, in many aspects, superior coins.
Cartesi, a layer-2 solution is set to revolutionize the crypto industry by providing access to mainstream software to the developers of decentralized applications, and it is growing more popular with businesses. The CTSI token is the native currency of Cartesi, which can be used as a crypto payment method by merchants.
Key Points:
- CTSI is the utility token of Cartesi.
- NOWPayments’ Cartesi plugins let online merchants automate their CTSI payments.
- Crypto plugins are compatible with PrestaShop, WHMCS, Shopware, and other platforms.
What is Cartesi?
CTSI is the utility token of Cartesi, a project which integrates Linux and enables standard programming environments for blockchains. There were a total of 1,000,000,000 CTSI tokens issued. CTSI is used as fuel on the Noether network. The token also can be staked by its owners in order to get additional CTSI coins as a reward. Developers utilize CTSI as payment when inserting data on a side-chain. CTSI will also serve as the primary asset for decentralized applications when outsourcing the execution of verifiable and enforceable computation to entities running Descartes nodes.
