They will be here TOMORROW, September 12, 2024 at 11AM ET / 3PM UTC to answer your questions about Tari Universe and Tari. Please feel free to submit your questions in advance – early submissions get priority! We’ll do our best to get to as many of them as possible and answer any questions you may have.
What is Tari?
Tari is a layer 1 blockchain protocol built in Rust with an ingenious approach to scaling its on-chain user base to millions of people and a native app distribution platform that gives developers access to every user. Tari is also default-confidential (yay!) and has a unique dual-layer architecture: ASIC-resistant proof-of-work L1, and native HotStuff + Cerberus-based L2. Tari is currently live on testnet. The mainnet is coming SOON (later this year).
What is Tari Universe?
Tari Universe is the world’s most beautiful and easiest-to-use mining app. The goal: create a user experience where anyone with a modern Mac or PC can download Tari Universe, install it, and start mining with the least effort (and clicks) possible!
The first version of Tari Universe is focused on mining. In the future, it’ll include a native app launcher so everyone in the Tari community can easily discover and use Tari dapps (tapplets!). This is how we also plan to solve the developer distribution conundrum!
Why is all this important?
Because onboarding new people to crypto is hard, and we’ve strayed from the original goal of our industry. In the beginning, anyone could download free software from the internet and mine Bitcoin on their PC. Everything was permissionless. Today, things are a lot more complicated. For the most popular cryptocurrencies, you need to jump through many hoops, KYC, and buy someone else’s coins to participate.
Then, once you have coins, good luck discovering dapps to use. Either you need to be deep in the trenches here on Reddit or X, or you need to roll the dice on Google and pray you don’t get phished.
Our mission is to create a world where anyone can download Tari Universe for free, mine Tari, and (eventually) access the world of Tari dapps (tapplets!) at their fingertips, no matter their experience level.
We announced Tari Universe publicly HERE, and over 210,000 people have joined the waitlist since then.
We are inviting the first round of folks from the waitlist to download Tari Universe TOMORROW and as a gift to the r/cryptocurrency community, we will be giving instant access codes to download Tari Universe to 10 lucky participants from this AMA!
We’ll randomly pick and DM all the winners after the event! Thank you in advance for your interest and questions! See you soooon!
