As seen on
“Loyalty points, concert tickets and in-game items will soon appear on a new protocol built on the monero network.
Called Tari, this new digital assets protocol will help support non-fungible tokens – tokens with unique properties, such as tickets with ownership information (think CryptoKitties) – said Contributor Naveen Jain.”Â
“In a bid to simplify the complex world of cryptocurrency for a new generation, a group of former Monero developers, including core contributor Riccardo Spagni (also known as “fluffypony”), are launching the testnet of their Tari Universe desktop application for mining the eponymous Tari token.”Â
“Tari Labs, an organization stewarding the development of Tari, a next-generation blockchain protocol, today introduced Tari Universe, a groundbreaking mining application designed to make it easy for anyone to join the crypto revolution.”Â
