The layer-1, proof-of-work Tari blockchain launched its mainnet, focusing on privacy and user accessibility. Developed by former Monero creators, it automatically hides transaction amounts and addresses on-chain, enhancing user security. Tari aims to simplify onboarding by requiring only three steps to become a user, contrasting with existing networks that are criticized for complex processes and surveillance issues. Since its testnet in September 2024, Tari has attracted around 700,000 participants and nearly 100,000 testnet miners using the Tari Universe app. Users can mine the native XTM token and earn rewards by inviting friends. The network aims to foster a robust set of decentralized applications while prioritizing user anonymity and safety in financial transactions, distancing itself from the pervasive surveillance seen in legacy blockchains.
