Tari: A New Layer-1 Blockchain with Unique Privacy Features
The creators of Monero have introduced tari, a new blockchain that prioritizes privacy. This layer-1 chain automatically hides transaction details and allows crypto mining on personal computers.
Tari aims to attract crypto users with its privacy features,fun mining experience,and a touch of nostalgia. It operates as a standalone proof-of-work network. Users can mine Tari’s native token, XTM, using their Macs or PCs. Balances are kept private, and the community has over 700,000 airdrop participants.
Tari’s flagship app, Tari Universe, makes mining a visual experience. It offers real-time feedback, power usage controls, and one-click options to pause or adjust CPU usage. Mining uses SHA3x and RandomX algorithms, with block rewards split evenly between standalone and merge miners.
Tari’s emission model starts with 21 billion XTM tokens. thirty percent is pre-mined for infrastructure, community programs, contributors, and early participants. The remaining 14.7 billion tokens are for public mining, with rewards decreasing over time. A 1% tail emission ensures miner incentives after 12 years.
Tari uses a two-token system. XTM powers the base layer (Minotari), while XTR operates on the second layer (Ootle). Users can burn XTM to mint XTR, with fees burned during transactions helping manage supply.
