Tari Universe is the beautifully simple app for mining Tari on Mac or PC. Tari Universe turns your computer into a money machine. It works by harnessing your computers computational power to solve blocks on the Tari network. In doing so, you're helping to secure the Tari network while earning Tari token (XTM) rewards.
What's the catch?
No catch—just run the app and start earning. Tari's mission is to the next-generation financial system accessible to everyone.
Is this safe?
Yes. Tari is developed by a talented group of technologists, and designers with a unique vision for the future of money. Tari Universe (and all software associated with the Tari protocol) is open source (meaning anyone can inspect and use the source code). It doesn't access your files and puts you in control of how much computational power you want it to use.
What are the minimum system requirements to mine Tari?
To mine effectively with Tari Universe, you’ll need a reasonably modern computer with enough memory, storage, and internet bandwidth. Here’s what we recommend:
Network: Stable internet connection (20 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up recommended)
🍎 For macOS users:
OS: macOS 12 Monterey or newer
CPU: Apple M1 chip (recommended) or Intel i5 (2018 or newer)
GPU: Apple integrated GPU (M1 and later — no dedicated GPU needed)
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Storage: 100 GB free SSD space
Network: Stable internet connection (20 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up recommended)
Who is behind Tari?
Tari contributors are very blessed to have the support of high-profile investors, including Blockchain Capital, Pantera, Trinity, Redpoint, Slow Ventures, and many more.
Will this slow down my computer?
Tari Universe is designed to use only the resources you allow. You can easily set limits on how much processing power is dedicated to mining, and you can pause or stop mining with a single click anytime. Tari Universe always puts you in full control.
Do I need to understand cryptocurrency to use this?
Not at all! Tari Universe is specifically designed for people who aren't crypto experts. If you can install an app, you can use Tari Universe.
What makes Tari different from other crypto projects?
Tari is a new layer 1 blockchain protocol with a profound approach to building a massive on-chain user base.
Building a thriving, loyal, on-chain user base is one of the most challenging things to do in our industry. Other blockchain protocols struggle with this because airdropped tokens predominantly end up in the hands of farmers and bots. Their on-chain user bases evaporate rapidly as the farmers and bots sell their tokens and move on to the next protocol. Their only alternative is to route users through high friction and low conversion rate onramps. As a result, most blockchain protocols have few loyal users.
The challenge for other blockchain protocols continues beyond building an ardent user base. When protocol teams attempt to recruit developers to build on their protocol, they face a catch-22: the best developers want to create applications on platforms with many users, but users demand great applications that keep their attention. The result is a wasteland of protocols with few users, limited apps, and minimal chance of success.
Tari is the ultimate solution to this multifactorial problem. Tari is proof of work and uses an ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm. Anyone can download and run the Tari miner to mine Tari on their laptop or desktop. There is no complicated, multi-step onboarding process required. It is easier to become a native Tari user than it is to become a native user for any other blockchain protocol.
For developers, Tari introduces a revolutionary approach to app distribution. The Tari miner will have a built-in application launcher. Everyone who mines Tari will have instant access to every Tari application through an interface that looks and feels like an app store. With Tari's unique dual-layer system, developers get the distribution benefit and security of a Rust-based proof of work L1 with the scalability, fast finality, and low fees of a high-performance, native L2. The result is magical: a high-performance, low-fee blockchain protocol that will rapidly scale its on-chain user base to millions and enable developers to reach all of them.
