The privacy network Tari, created by early Monero contributors, has launched its Mainnet and opened up Mining to everyone.

PANews reported on May 6 that the privacy blockchain project Tari Labs has officially launched its Mainnet and introduced a desktop mining application called “Tari Universe” for ordinary users. The platform adopts a merged mining mechanism with Monero (XMR), allowing users to participate in XTM token mining using personal computers, with an average daily mining duration of over 4 hours. During the Testnet phase, 100,000 users participated, and the application features a built-in visual mining interface that allows real-time adjustment of computing power allocation. Tari continues the privacy protection philosophy of Monero, integrating the Mimblewimble protocol to achieve lightweight anonymous transactions, and innovatively introducing a reusable emoji address system. Its self-developed RandomX algorithm is specifically designed to be ASIC-resistant, preventing a computing power monopoly situation similar to Bitcoin mining. Tari Labs was founded by early contributors of Monero, including Naveen Jain, and has received investments from institutions such as Blockchain Capital and Pantera, raising over $14 million since 2018. The project attracts community participation through airdrop activities, requiring users to complete tasks such as social media interactions to earn rewards.
