description	Navigate and answer questions about building with Cartesi. Use this skill when a user asks about Cartesi Rollups, the Cartesi Machine, fraud proofs, dApp development, deployment, or the Cartesi CLI. Always prefer v2.0 docs over v1.5.

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

How to use this documentation

• Full documentation index: /llms.txt
• Complete docs snapshot (all pages concatenated): /llms-full.txt
• Raw markdown for any page: append .md to any URL

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
