Tari Labs, an organization dedicated to developing Tari, the next-generation blockchain protocol, today launched Tari Universe, an innovative mining app designed to make it easy for anyone to join the cryptocurrency revolution. Tari Universe leverages RandomX, an ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm, enabling users to mine Tari using their existing Mac or PC. Say goodbye to the UX barriers of cryptocurrency - Tari Universe's intuitive interface makes mining simple and easy to understand. Users simply download Tari Universe for free, install it, and click "Start Mining" to earn Tari Tokens.

In a world where inflation is out of control and many people are struggling to survive, mining cryptocurrencies offers a great opportunity for everyone.

“Tari Universe is a super simple crypto product that finally allows me to step out of my comfort zone,” said Soon™, Tari’s official mascot. “We all want mass adoption, but as an industry we’ve continually designed complex products that require users to do KYC and jump through countless hoops to participate. Tari Universe changes all that. It’s a one-click product that my mom can easily use.”

Tari Universe makes mining fun

Tari Universe brings the game of Proof-of-Work mining to life. Proof-of-Work mining is a race to be the first to solve the next block, claiming the block reward and all the glory. Tari Universe presents the Tari blockchain as a sleek tower, with each block being a floor. Users can watch their tribe race to build the next floor, and whoever finishes first gets to share the spoils. Tari Universe makes it easy for anyone to understand how the blockchain works and enjoy the fun of Proof-of-Work mining.

Tari Universe makes mining fair

Tari Universe uses the decentralized pool software p2pool, which introduces the concept of a “tribe” — a group of users working together to solve blocks. When a user first launches Tari Universe, they automatically join a tribe, without any configuration or additional steps. Best of all, there are no pool fees, and users don’t need to trust an anonymous pool operator to manage their block rewards. Combined with the ASIC-resistant nature of RandomX, Tari Universe makes mining fair for everyone.

Tari Universe achieves maximum decentralization

In a world filled with centralized sequencers and small "independent" node operators, Tari Universe is a breath of fresh air. Anyone can download Tari Universe for free, install it and run it on an existing Mac or PC. No expensive or custom hardware is required, and users don't have to be members of a privileged circle. Tari Universe is permissionless, enhancing user freedom and will help Tari achieve great decentralization from day one.

Tari Universe is your cryptocurrency base

Tari Universe has an automatic update feature, giving users instant access to groundbreaking new features. As the Tari universe expands, Tari Universe will become the ultimate one-stop platform for cryptocurrency. Tari Universe is the one-click crypto revolution for everyone.
