The protocol for

digital assets

Tari enables creators to design new types of stories and experiences. Someday a
mesmerizing and digitally scarce asset or collectible you covet will unlock new
business opportunities for the creator and a new world of possibilities for you.
This asset will be issued on Tari. Tari is built in Rust, private by default,
and open source.

Learn More


WHAT IS TARI?

Tari is a digital assets focused blockchain protocol that is built in Rust,
private by default, open source, and is being architected as a merge-mined
sidechain with Monero.


BUILT FOR CREATORS

We’re building Tari for creators to have a groundbreaking level of control over
their assets.

By using combinations of templates to create custom rulesets quickly and easily,
creators will be able to unlock a new world of business possibilities, while
delivering stunningly beautiful user experiences.


HIGHLY USEFUL

Tari has all the right ingredients to be the most useful protocol for digital
assets on earth.

High performance, easy to integrate with, stable, well documented, open-source,
secure, and private by default.

Dive into how it works.


FREEDOM ENHANCING

Privacy is a fundamental human right.

In a world without default privacy, businesses cannot operate, our personal
preferences and histories are sold to the highest bidder, and we lose the
ability to conduct our lives in the manner we choose. The Tari community
fundamentally believes that privacy-enhancing software should be pervasive and
available to all.


COMMUNITY DRIVEN

The Tari community is comprised of many types of amazing collaborators.

Imagine a broad spectrum of brilliant creators, builders, advocates, and
philosophers all working towards a single goal: to build the most useful
decentralized platform that empowers anyone to create digitally scarce things
people love.

Want to join the party? Everyone is invited.

GET STARTED

Tari exists because creators, entrepreneurs, and developers want it to.

A goal of the Tari community is for developers of any skill level to be able to
quickly build useful applications that leverage the Tari network and contribute
to the Tari project.

The best way to get started is to start running a Tari node. A Tari node is the
basic building block of the Tari blockchain and network. Nodes perform the
critical functions of maintaining the ledger. Without nodes, there is no
network.


WHY RUN A NODE

Every new node increases the size of the Tari network and contributes to network
security. There are many things that you can do with the Tari base node client:

 * Mine testnet Tari (tXTR)
 * Transact using the CLI wallet
 * Query and analyze chain data using your local copy of the ledger
 * Build applications that leverage chain data, such as block explorers,
   analytics tools, and more
 * Experiment with custom transaction types, and learn the fundamentals of how
   Tari works


HOW TO RUN YOUR OWN NODE

It’s incredibly easy to set up your own Tari base node. There are two ways to
accomplish this:

 1. Download the binaries and follow the installation instructions on GitHub.
 2. Build your own set of binaries from the base node source code by following
    these instructions on the GitHub repo

Have questions? The Tari community prides itself on being open and inclusive.
There are no dumb questions. The best places to engage with the Tari developer
community are on IRC or Discord#dev.


SPENDING TESTNET TARI (TXTR)

What can you do with tXTR besides experimenting with transactions? You can
“spend” your hard-earned, infinite supply, fake Tari on exclusive one-of-a-kind
items in the TTL (Tari Testnet Limited) store*. Everything in the store is
denominated in tXTR (and is therefore free) except for shipping costs. Check it
out here and let folks know what you think on Discord or IRC.

* tXTR has no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, cash equivalent,
or other tokens or cryptocurrencies.

MAKE TARI BETTER

Tari will always be a work in progress.

The Tari community believes that it needs to continually improve and evolve to
achieve its stated goal: to be the most useful decentralized platform that
empowers anyone to create digitally scarce things people love. How does it
improve? Because people choose to dedicate their time, creativity, and
brilliance to working on the project.


WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER CONTRIBUTING TO A PROJECT LIKE TARI?

SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS

Sharpen your skills. Want to learn about distributed systems, cryptography,
production Rust systems, web 3, decentralized finance, or digital assets?
Contributing to the Tari project is a great way to improve your skills. The Tari
community is open, inclusive, and helpful.

YOU WANT TO USE TARI IN YOUR APPLICATION

Contributing to the Tari project is a great way to make a meaningful impact,
advocate for features you think the community should consider, and fix bugs you
find along the way.

YOU CARE ABOUT FREEDOM ENHANCING SOFTWARE

The Tari community believes that the world is out of balance. The internet is an
incredible blessing for society, but there are tradeoffs. One of those tradeoffs
is privacy. The only way to solve this imbalance is to build new layers of the
internet that are private by default. The Tari network will be such a layer.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as perfect privacy. Privacy is a spectrum,
and a cat and mouse game. The goal of the Tari community is to strike the best
possible balance between usability, usefulness, and privacy. Want to learn more
about the decisions the community has made so far? Please visit the Tari GitHub
repos, and connect with us on Discord or IRC. The Tari community is low ego,
doesn’t believe in not invented here syndrome, and believes that great ideas can
come from anywhere. We’d love to hear your feedback and collaborate with you to
make Tari the most useful freedom enhancing protocol in the world.


WHAT MAKES TARI UNIQUE?

There are many privacy-focused open source projects in the world. What sets Tari
apart is the Tari community's relentless drive to create a protocol that strikes
a balance between meaningful privacy, and mainstream usefulness. Through
beautiful user experience patterns and reference designs that help developers
obfuscate complexity, and tooling that makes it easy for developers to create
successful applications, the Tari protocol is a privacy trojan horse. The Tari
protocol is intended to be used for real-world, at-scale applications, not
prototypes.


GET INVOLVED

Tari is an ecosystem of projects. Each project varies in complexity and
sophistication. Some projects are easy to get started contributing to, and
others have a meaningful learning curve. The common thread that runs through all
Tari projects is that we (the Tari community) are united in making Tari useful,
conducting ourselves in a low ego manner, and warmly welcoming everyone
regardless of skill level or background. Projects that need your help and
support:

TARI AURORA

TARI FOR CREATORS

What is a Tari digital asset? It is a programmable canvas for telling stories.

It can be a legendary collectible like the sword of Excalibur, shrouded in a
misty forest waiting for the right person to discover it and wield it in battle.
Or it can be a coveted ticket that grants access to a sold-out concert, and then
access to a personal message from an iconic artist. It can also be a token that
represents the economic unit for a new virtual world.

A Tari digital asset can be truly digitally scarce. Someone can prove that they
own it in a verifiable manner, and trust that it cannot be easily copied. They
can be as secure in their ownership of an asset as they are about any material
thing they possess. And a Tari digital asset can have rules that stay with it
for as long as it matters. For example, every time an asset changes hands, the
creator may choose to receive a fraction of the transaction. The Tari community
is designing the Tari protocol to support all of these use cases and more.


HOW DOES TARI HELP CREATORS?

 * Create new, permanent revenue streams around your creations. For example,
   earn revenue every time your creation is transferred from one party to
   another
 * Turn your creations into programmable, evolving keys that can unlock anything
   now or in the future. For example, a creation issued today can unlock access,
   an experience, or a new creation in the future
 * Build deeper connections with your fans by enabling them to truly own your
   creations while retaining influence and opportunity via rulesets
 * Create digital things that stand the test of time. As long as the Tari
   blockchain exists, records of your creation will persist
 * Use creations issued on Tari in any application from games, to ticketing
   systems, to exchanges, and beyond. Tari is permissionless and open source.


WHY USE TARI?

 * Purpose-built for creating digitally scarce things that people love
 * Scalable to support many millions of users and many thousands of transactions
   per second
 * Default-private to keep confidential business data private, and protect the
   privacy of your fans
 * Well documented and easy to integrate with many commonly used platforms and
   technologies. All Tari software is opensource
 * An inclusive community that cares deeply about each other, freedom, our
   world, and what you are creating
