Tari Mainnet Goes Live, Enabling Desktop Mining via New Application

Tennessee, United States, May 7th, 2025, ChainwireTari Labs has announced the official launch of the Tari Mainnet on 6th May, a new Layer 1 blockchain protocol designed to make mining more accessible through Tari Universe. This desktop application enables users to participate in mining with a simplified interface. The launch introduces a three-step process for users to mine Tari tokens (XTM) directly from their Mac or PC.The Tari network aims to provide a confidential and accessible entry point into blockchain participation. Users can download the Tari Universe application at www.tari.com, install it in minutes, and begin mining Tari tokens using their device’s processing power. Transactions on the Tari network are confidential by default, using MimbleWimble technology to protect financial data without compromising usability.Tari’s protocol features RandomX, an ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm that allows mining via consumer-grade hardware. The Tari Universe app includes functionality that enables users to manage computational resource allocation and pause or stop mining at any time. Its user interface visually represents block production, gamifying the mining process through the construction of a virtual blockchain tower.The Tari Testnet saw participation from over 700,000 users in an airdrop program, with nearly 100,000 individuals mining testnet Tari. According to Tari Labs, the average user engaged in mining activity for more than four hours daily during the testnet phase.“Tari is focused on simplifying blockchain interactions,” said Naveen Jain, a contributor to Tari. “The application reduces the complexity typically associated with protocol onboarding.”The Tari Mainnet launch includes foundational support for decentralized mining from the outset, with the genesis block already mined. The project’s dual-layer architecture includes a Rust-based Layer 1 and an in-development Layer 2 with fast finality and scalability features. Future updates will include a cross-chain exchange layer and a native app store accessible via the Tari Universe interface.Tari Labs, which contributed to the development of the protocol, is supported by firms including Blockchain Capital, Pantera, CMT Digital, Slow Ventures, and DV Chain.“Tari has created a platform where confidentiality and accessibility coexist,” said Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner at Pantera Capital.YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v97SJLnjp7sAbout TariTari is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain protocol with a built-in desktop application that facilitates mining for users with standard consumer hardware. It aims to provide a confidential, accessible, and scalable blockchain environment for both users and developers. Tari Labs, which contributed to the protocol’s development, is supported by multiple blockchain-focused investment firms.For more information, users can visit www.tari.com or follow Tari on social media: TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram.ContactLori MezoffThe post Tari Mainnet Goes Live, Enabling Desktop Mining via New Application appeared first on Chainwire.
