[Fernando Capelle]

Tariis a highly versatile blockchain protocol built in Rust. It is ultra-high performance, infinitely scalable, open source, and has unique confidentiality features that keep users safe and enable vast new use cases.

Tari Tinkerers will be able to build never-before-seen applications using Tari building blocks.

By using combinations of templates to create custom rulesets quickly and easily, tinkerers will be able to unlock a new world of business possibilities while delivering stunningly beautiful user experiences.

Tari has all the right ingredients to be the most useful protocol for digital assets on earth.

High performance, easy to integrate with, stable, well documented, open-source, secure, and private by default.

Dive into how it works.

Confidentiality is a prerequisite for useful applications.

No business wants everyone to know what every customer pays or who their best customers are. And no one wants every financial decision to be a scarlet letter. Through supporting meaningful confidentiality features, Tari will meet users where they are, keep them safe, and enable vast new use cases.

The Tari community is comprised of many types of amazing collaborators.

Imagine a broad spectrum of brilliant creators, builders, advocates, and philosophers all working towards a single goal: to build the most useful decentralized platform that empowers anyone to create digitally scarce things people love.

The Tari RFCs (request for comments) are the starting point for the Tari project. Ideas that start as discussions on IRC are formalized here before implementation by the Tari community. Have feedback about anything you see here? Please submit an issue on Github.

The goal for Tari Labs University (TLU) is to create the best free, open source educational resource for the many technologies that comprise blockchain systems. Current topics include Schnorr signatures, scriptless scripts, bulletproofs, pure-Rust elliptic curve cryptography, MimbleWimble, merged-mining, confidential assets, and more. Have feedback or think an explanation could be improved? Have ideas for new content? Please contribute to TLU on Github.

Download a community developed, reference-design mobile wallet app called Tari Aurora, to send and receive testnet Tari (tXTR). Using and contributing to Aurora is a great way to play with the Tari testnet and learn more about what makes Tari special.

Aurora is being developed as a reference-design. Creators and developers can use the Aurora libraries and codebase as a starting point for developing their own Tari wallets and applications. In its production-ready state, Aurora will be a fully functional Tari wallet focused on Tari as a digital currency.

Dive into the current and historical state of the Tari blockchain through the block explorer. Tari has confidentiality features, so Tari users are kept safe. After all, you cannot use an online tool to look up someone's bank balance, can you?

A goal of the Tari community is for developers of any skill level to be able to quickly build useful applications that leverage the Tari network and contribute to the Tari project.

The best way to get started is to start running a Tari node. A Tari node is the basic building block of the Tari blockchain and network. Nodes perform the critical functions of maintaining the ledger. Without nodes, there is no network.

Have questions? The Tari community prides itself on being open and inclusive. There are no dumb questions. The best places to engage with the Tari developer community are on IRC or Discord#dev.

Protocol discussions are an archive of public discussions that the Tari community has over various aspects of the protocol design space along with potential applications of the Tari blockchain. Subscribe to our newsletter to learn about our latest discussion topic and time.

The Tari community believes that it needs to continually improve and evolve to achieve its stated goal: to be the most useful decentralized platform that empowers anyone to create digitally scarce things people love. How does it improve? Because people choose to dedicate their time, creativity, and brilliance to working on the project.

Sharpen your skills. Want to learn about distributed systems, cryptography, production Rust systems, web 3, decentralized finance, or digital assets? Contributing to the Tari project is a great way to improve your skills. The Tari community is open, inclusive, and helpful.

What sets Tari apart is the Tari community's relentless drive to create a protocol that turns confidentiality features as an advantage to enable tinkerers and creators to build more useful applications. Through composable templates that make it easier for developers to create successful applications, beautiful user experience patterns, and reference designs that help developers obfuscate complexity, the Tari protocol is built for the real world.

Tari is an ecosystem of projects. Each project varies in complexity and sophistication. Some projects are easy to get started contributing to, and others have a meaningful learning curve. The common thread that runs through all Tari projects is that we (the Tari community) are united in making Tari useful, conducting ourselves in a low ego manner, and warmly welcoming everyone regardless of skill level or background. Projects that need your help and support:

Aurora is a native reference design wallet application for iOS and Android. The core of Aurora is lib_tariwallet, a highly efficient and extensible library written in Rust with C-bindings for JNI and Swift codebases. Contributing to Aurora is a great way to learn how Rust functions in mobile environments, and to how end users will interact with the Tari digital currency, and network in the future. Contribute to Tari Aurora wallet application for iOS and Android.

The goal for Tari Labs University (TLU) is to create the best free, open source educational resource for the many technologies that comprise blockchain systems. If you are interested in researching cryptography such as bulletproofs to scriptless scripts and blockchain technologies such as layer-2 scaling to merge mining, contributing to TLU is your calling.

One of the newest editions to the Tari ecosystem, the Rust tutorials, enables developers to experiment with Tari Rust libraries in a browser environment without downloading anything. Try your hand at creating something new with the Tari Rust libraries and sharpen your Rust skills.

The main Tari repository comprises all the main crates that make up the backbone of the Tari base Layer. It's all written in Rust and includes: the base node application, the blockchain consensus code and database, the Tari communications stack, and Tari wallet.

Oftentimes new contributors start with documentation related issues that tend to be quick wins and help them understand the protocol in greater detail before moving towards test writing and focusing on core protocol code. But feel free to choose your own adventure

It can be a legendary collectible like the sword of Excalibur, shrouded in a misty forest waiting for the right person to discover it and wield it in battle. Or it can be a coveted ticket that grants access to a sold-out concert, and then access to a personal message from an iconic artist. It can also be a token that represents the economic unit for a new virtual world.

A Tari digital asset can be truly digitally scarce. Someone can prove that they own it in a verifiable manner, and trust that it cannot be easily copied. They can be as secure in their ownership of an asset as they are about any material thing they possess. And a Tari digital asset can have rules that stay with it for as long as it matters. For example, every time an asset changes hands, the creator may choose to receive a fraction of the transaction. The Tari community is designing the Tari protocol to support all of these use cases and more.
