Tari Labs, an organization stewarding the development of Tari, a next-generation blockchain protocol, today introduced Tari Universe, a groundbreaking mining application designed to make it easy for anyone to join the crypto revolution. Tari Universe leverages RandomX, an ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm, enabling users to mine Tari with their existing Mac or PC. Say goodbye to the UX barriers of crypto—Tari Universe’s magical interface makes mining accessible to everyone. Users can simply download Tari Universe for free, install it, and click “start mining” to earn Tari tokens.
In a world where inflation is out of control and many people are struggling, mining crypto presents a great opportunity for everyone.
"Tari Universe is the beautifully simple crypto product that will finally get me out of my shell," said Soon™, the Turtle, Tari’s official mascot. "We all want mass adoption to happen, yet, as an industry, we keep designing complicated products that require users to KYC and jump through countless hoops to participate. Tari Universe changes everything. It's a one-click marvel that my mom can use."
Tari Universe Makes Mining FunTari Universe brings the game of Proof-of-Work mining to life. Proof-of-work mining is a race to be the first to solve the next block, earning the block reward and all the glory. Tari Universe represents the Tari blockchain as a sleek tower and every block as a floor. Users will watch as their Tribe races to build the next floor before anyone else. When they win, they all share in the spoils. Tari Universe makes it easy for anyone to understand how blockchains work and enjoy Proof-of-Work mining.
Tari Universe Makes Mining FairTari Universe uses p2pool decentralized pool software to introduce Tribes—a group of users working together to solve blocks. When a user first launches Tari Universe, they automatically join a Tribe. No configuration or added steps are required. Best of all, there are no pool fees, and users won’t need to trust a pseudonymous pool operator with their block rewards. Combined with the ASIC-resistant properties of RandomX, Tari Universe makes mining fair for everyone.
Tari Universe is Maximum DecentralizationTari Universe is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with centralized sequencers and small cabals of “independent” node operators. Anyone can download Tari Universe for free, install it, and run it on their existing Mac or PC. No expensive or custom hardware is needed, and users don’t have to be members of the gilded cabal. Tari Universe is permissionless, freedom-enhancing, and will help make Tari wildly decentralized from day one.
Tari Universe is Your Homebase for CryptoTari Universe includes an automated update feature to give users instant access to groundbreaking new features. As the world of Tari expands, Tari Universe will become the ultimate one-stop shop for crypto. Tari Universe is the one-click crypto revolution for everyone.
