Hello, , we’re excited to be here for another AMA! This time, we are excited to introduce you to one of the dApps developed with Cartesi Rollups: RIVES, an onchain fantasy console that runs retro games and programs entirely onchain, enabling every element—from gameplay to interactions—to be fully verifiable. RIVES started by bringing verifiable DOOM onchain, and since then, the team has developed an entire game console with a custom emulator that is verifiable onchain. It enables creating, verifying, and distributing of small expressive games called cartridges. By verifying gameplays, the platform creates tapes (replayable onchain gameplay logs) and adds players to immutable leaderboards. The platform has launched on mainnet this week with a gaming competition, the first of its kind – The DOOM Olympics: a 7-day event with 7 unique contests (or disciplines) using the Freedoom build. This contest takes place between September 12 and 20, with $15,000 in prizes. We’ll be here to answer questions for an AMA tomorrow, September 14th, from 1 pm UTC until around 3 pm UTC. Ask questions about RIVES/Cartesi About CartesiCartesi is a powerful modular blockchain protocol that supercharges the web3 space. It equips developers with access to a full Linux environment through its native virtual machine, and high-performance rollups designed to support next-generation dApps. Cartesi’s mission is to expand what is possible in Web3 and unlock the power of decentralization by allowing developers access to existing tools and libraries to build more efficiently, as well as a dedicated CPU for their dApp, avoiding competition for blockspace while maintaining the security guarantees of the base layer. Cartesi Rollups can be deployed as L2, L3 (on top of Optimism, Arbitrum, Base etc.), or sovereign rollups.

Unlike most Web3 games or platforms, RIVES leans into blockchain capabilities to the fullest. Not only are the assets onchain, but also the game logic and state, unlocking new possibilities. RIVES can run complex games like DOOM fully verifiably. Gameplays/scores (e.g., speedruns) can be verified and proven without intermediaries and stored in history forever. On top of this, it enables new forms of modding and composability. DOOM OlympicsThe DOOM Olympics is a 7-day DOOM competition on RIVES where players partake in 7 different DOOM contests/disciplines. The 7 contests are: Lightning Run, Knuckle Crusher, Infallible Aim, Secret Master, Treasure Seeker, The Completionist, Enemy Eradicator. Each contest features its unique scoring system and set of objectives. Each gameplay runs locally in the browser within the same Cartesi VM and is verifiable on-chain. Players generate tapes—verified gameplay and interaction logs—using cartridges (small games), such as the DOOM cartridge in this case. After the player submits their logs to the RIVES rollup for verification, the nodes execute the same deterministic Cartesi VM, thereby securing them a spot on the leaderboard in a verifiable, transparent, and cheat-resistant manner.
