Another Friday, another Cartesi Weekly with the latest updates from across the ecosystem 🐧 The Cartesi RISC-V Solidity Emulator, which is the onchain version of the Cartesi Machine, just got an update. A new PR adds improved memory translation, including support for managing the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) and a dedicated shadow TLB area in memory. This makes the emulator more accurate and closer to how the real Cartesi Machine works. Learn more: → DevAdvocacy contributors have been on a roll this week, sharing two explainer threads. @joaopdgarcia shared insights on fraud proofs and ZK proofs, and why both still matter as core validation mechanisms for rollups in a ZK-leaning world. Check out this overview of the trade-offs, and let us know what you think about a future where hybrid models emerge, with fraud proofs as fallback and ZK amplifying verification: → On another vertical, @riseandshaheen shared an overview breaking down the developer experience across @aztecnetwork, @RiscZero, @arbitrum Stylus, and Cartesi, four protocols that broaden Ethereum’s execution options and enable development beyond Solidity through Noir, RISC-V, and WASM. Dive in for the key takeaways from this comparison: → A new “time to deploy” challenge has been launched for the students of the Cartesi-based course at @uff_br in Brazil, led by Prof @_aaarocha, to better understand and improve the developer journey. Students will build a simple Beacon crowdfunding app, testing documentation, tooling, and asset flows. Their results will provide useful metrics to refine resources and dev onboarding efforts. → That’s a wrap for now.
