Good news!\
\
What is Tari?\
Tari is a decentralised assets protocol that is going to be built on top of Monero. Think of it as something like coloured coins or CounterParty, but for Monero and a lot more scalable (ie. not using an embedded consensus mechanism).\
\
How is it built \"on top of Monero\"?\
Tari will have a native token, like Counterparty, but it will operate as a merge-mined sidechain. Miners will be able to earn Tari block reward and fees as they mine Monero. In addition to binding itself to Monero\'s security model, Tari will also support atomic swaps between itself and Monero.\"\
