A new financial system built to empower builders and creators
Tari is an open, merge-mined digital currency and application platform where anyone can build, own, and exchange value — without permission from a bank, a platform, or a gatekeeper.
Our mission
Money and ownership should belong to the people who create value, not the platforms that sit between them.
Tari started with a simple observation: creators, builders, and communities generate enormous value online, yet rarely control the rails that money and digital assets move on. Tari exists to change that. We are building a proof-of-work network, XTM, and an application layer, Ootle, that let anyone issue, own, and trade digital assets directly — openly, permissionlessly, and secured by real computational work rather than a company’s promise.
What we’re building
Four pillars of the Tari network
XTM: proof-of-work money
Ootle: the application layer
A community-first network
Open and permissionless
How it fits together
One network, two layers, working together
Miners secure the Tari base layer and earn XTM for every block. Builders use Ootle to create applications and digital assets whose activity flows back through the Turbine burn model, converting XTM into XTR and tying network usage directly to network security. The result is a self-sustaining loop: more building drives more burning, more burning ties value back to the miners who keep the whole system running.
