#WXTM The Tari @tari project officially launched on May 6, 2025. It is a project created by former Monero CTO Riccardo Spagni $XTM @fluffypony ( and Naveen Jain ) @NaveenSpark (, dedicated to promoting the privacy stablecoin ecosystem and the practical application of privacy payments.

After careful discussion and assessment by the OGs of the mining coin community, due to its outstanding technological innovations and currently undervalued business potential, the ) project will become a key project for the community's long-term participation and development in the future.

This article will focus on the potential of $XTM from five major perspectives: "technical strength", "team background", "investment aspect", "narrative", and "mining mechanism". The current circulating market value is only 7M, and the circulating supply is 2.4B.

1. Technical Strength: It is a PoW $XTM proof-of-work ( blockchain designed to ensure the security and privacy of the network. Its foundational layer (Layer 1) MinoTari Network is mainly responsible for: a) Privacy Protocol: Utilizing the Mimblewimble protocol to achieve lightweight, default confidential transactions (such as stealth addresses and one-sided payments). b) Smart Contracts: Supporting TariScript, a simple scripting language used to implement basic privacy features. c) Consensus: PoW mechanism (incentivized by XTM tokens). The application layer (Layer 2) Ootle Network )XTR( is mainly responsible for programmability and scalability. It is a Layer 2 designed specifically for handling complex digital assets and high-speed smart contracts. XTR can support digital assets: specifically designed for the creation, trading, and management of the next generation of digital assets (such as NFTs, in-game items). Its consensus: adopts independent consensus mechanisms such as Cerberus/HotStuff, providing fast finality and high throughput. The birth of Tari aims to solve a specific problem - private stablecoin payments, which differs from other L1s "looking for problems to solve," demonstrating a clear product-market fit.

2. Team Background: The project's co-founder includes Riccardo Spagni (commonly referred to by the community as "fluffypony"), who is a core maintainer and former core team member of the renowned privacy coin project Monero )XMR(, enjoying a high reputation in the cryptocurrency world, especially in the fields of cryptography and privacy protection. His involvement ensures that the Tari protocol inherits the top privacy technology genes of Monero. Another co-founder, Naveen Jain, is a serial entrepreneur and Y Combinator alumnus, who has extensive experience in traditional business and technology sectors and has successfully founded multiple companies, such as the digital marketing company Sparkart and the crypto payment gateway GloBee.

3. Investment Aspect: Tari has been in development since 2018 and, after years of iteration and accumulation, will finally launch its mainnet in May 2025. In terms of capital, Tari has received years of support from top venture capital firms in the crypto space, including Pantera Capital, Hack VC, Multicoin Capital, and Blockchain Capital, reflecting institutional recognition of its long-term potential. Additionally, the community involvement in the early stages of the project and the support from Goldshell ASIC miners @goldshellminer further validate the security and ecological potential of its PoW mechanism.

4. Narrative: Tari's most powerful narrative is its unique position as a "privacy stablecoin L1," committed to seamlessly integrating Monero-level privacy capabilities into a programmable Layer 1 blockchain. Under the guidance of top Monero experts, Tari aims to address the essential need for default confidentiality in commercial transactions and digital assets in Web3 through its dual-layer architecture (L1's Mimblewimble privacy + L2's Ootle programmability), with a particular focus on achieving private and compliant stablecoin payments. Furthermore, the project has successfully revived the decentralized spirit of PoW through its innovative four-algorithm PoW mechanism and user-friendly mining applications, making it a next-generation L1 infrastructure with high technical barriers, clear market positioning, and strong community inclusivity.

5. Mining Mechanism: The TTari protocol employs an innovative four-algorithm mixed mining mechanism to maximize the decentralization, security, and fairness of the network, distributing block rewards evenly across four different mining paths. These four paths are: RandomX )Monero merged mining (, which allows existing Monero CPU miners to provide security for Tari without incurring additional costs; RandomX )Tari solo mining (, primarily aimed at CPU miners who can easily participate using regular PCs/Macs; SHA-3x algorithm, specifically designed for professional hardware miners such as ASICs and FPGAs; and Cuckaroo29 )C29( algorithm, aimed at attracting GPU miners. Through this unique design, Tari successfully integrates CPU, GPU, and ASIC/FPGA mainstream mining hardware into its security model, ensuring a high level of decentralization for the network. Additionally, chip manufacturer Goldshell announced the launch of the first Tari )XTM( ASIC miner, further validating the effectiveness of this mechanism and indicating that the network will gain more professional and powerful computational support.
