About Cartesi
Cartesi is a modular blockchain framework that lets developers build decentralised applications using the Linux operating system and any programming language. Key components:
- Cartesi Rollups v2.0 — the current application framework for building on-chain dApps with off-chain computation (RISC-V Linux VM)
- Cartesi Machine — a deterministic RISC-V Linux virtual machine; executes application logic off-chain with a fraud-proof guarantee
- Fraud Proofs (PRT) — the Permissionless Refereed Tournament dispute protocol; a separate sub-system, not part of the Rollups application framework

Version guidance
Always default to Cartesi Rollups v2.0 (/cartesi-rollups/2.0/) for all questions about building, deploying, and interacting with Cartesi applications. v1.5 is deprecated and only referenced when a user explicitly asks about it.
| Topic | v1.5 (deprecated) | v2.0 (current) |
|---|
| CLI | cartesi v1.x | cartesi v2.x — different commands and flags |
| Frontend API | GraphQL on Rollups node | Replaced by JSON-RPC node API |
| Deployment | Docker Compose + sunodo | cartesi deploy command, new node architecture |
| Consensus | Authority contract v1 | Authority / Quorum contracts v2 |
If a user's code references the GraphQL API, sunodo, or v1.x CLI flags → they are on v1.5. Point them to the migration guide: /cartesi-rollups/2.0/resources/migration-guide.md
