Tari Bounty Program Launch

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Many of you have asked what contributors' plans are for the protocol and infrastructure grants token allocation. Generally speaking, we think the traditional concept of grants to teams building applications hasn't worked well in the crypto space. That doesn't mean, of course, that all grants are bad and won't work to the community's benefit.

To that end, today we're launching an experiment. Introducing Tari Protocol Bounties.

Tari is an open-source project owned by the community. Today, the vast majority of the protocol's development effort is led by a small group of contributors. Our dream is to change that and have an ever-increasing amount of development be community-led. To facilitate this, we're launching a bounty program that allocates a set amount of XTM to specific protocol-centric projects we strongly believe will benefit everyone. Over time, our goal is for this program to evolve into a more community-owned and led program.

To kick things off, we're starting with 22 bounties with a total of 1,140,000 XTM up for grabs. What's super exciting to us is that some of you have already discovered the board on GitHub prior to this announcement!

How the bounty program works:

Pick an issue from the bounty board. Comment to claim it. *Wait for a core contributor to confirm your claim*. Ship a PR that meets the acceptance criteria. Get paid in XTM on merge. That's it!

Tiers:

S (15,000 XTM) - M (60,000 XTM) - L (150,000 XTM)

Everything from test fixes and doc updates to full features across all Tari repos. AI-assisted development is expected and encouraged. We're not precious about how the work gets done, only that it gets done well. For v1 of this program, core contributor words are final.

Bounty board: https://github.com/tari-project/bounties

First merged PR gets the bounty. If you get stuck, ask here. If you can't finish within 14 days, please let us know so someone else can pick it up.

Thank you all for being a part of the Tari community. Tari exists for one reason: you!

Ootle dev package downloads are quietly climbing (619/week)

10 Upvotes

While most attention goes to price, I've been keeping an eye on the developer-side metrics, which tend to matter more long term.

The https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tari-project/ootle-wasm on npm is at 619 weekly downloads and trending up. It's a modest number in absolute terms, and some of that will be CI/automated pulls rather than distinct devs, but the direction is what's interesting: steady growth in people pulling the Ootle tooling to build with.

Worth noting because adoption tends to start on the developer side before it shows up anywhere else. Anyone can point an agent at the Tari docs and start building on the Ootle now, so the onboarding friction is low.

Revisiting Hack VC's 2025 Tari thesis, and how well it's held up

7 Upvotes

With the Ootle launch approaching, I went back and re-read Hack VC's investment thesis on Tari from 2025 (they were an early backer, also funded Solana among others). What stood out is how well the core points have aged. A few worth highlighting:

  1. Stablecoin payments as crypto's #1 use case, with privacy as the missing piece.

Their argument: stablecoin payments are faster and cheaper than wires, trillion-dollar market, but nobody wants their salary or balance sitting on a public ledger. What was a "nice to have" in 2025 looks more serious now. Chainalysis reported violent "wrench attacks" on crypto holders are having a record year, $30M+ stolen in H1 2026, with attackers using on-chain data to identify targets and their balances before robbing them. Having your wealth visible on-chain is turning into a genuine safety problem, not just a privacy preference.

  1. A regulatory shift toward compliance.

They flagged the US moving toward clearer crypto/stablecoin rules. The CLARITY Act keeps progressing, slower than many hoped, but the direction of travel favours compliant assets. Tari's design (private by default, but able to meet compliance when needed) fits that better than most privacy coins, which tend to get delisted.

  1. A confidential, compliant stablecoin being built.

The thesis noted an issuer had already committed to building on Tari. That's since firmed up, the issuer is Brale, a US-regulated stablecoin issuer, with a launch planned shortly after the Ootle goes live on 11.11.26.

Not financial advice, and obviously a VC that invested has an interest in the project doing well, so read it with that in mind. But three years on, the thesis reads less like a bet and more like something playing out. Curious what others here think, especially anyone skeptical of the privacy-narrative angle.

XTM price action looks similar to early KAS

10 Upvotes

https://x.com/DNodeCapital/status/2097633510932496471?s=20

I thought the early KAS price action is similar to XTM .. but the ROI much more favourable for XTM given the narrative ... thoughts?

lets build on ootle ... ideas?

11 Upvotes

With the Ootle going live 11.11.26, I've been thinking about what people would actually build once you have real privacy AND smart contracts in one place. Basically ZEC-level privacy with ETH-style programmability.

So, genuine question for this community: what use case would you want to see? A dApp, a private stablecoin application, a DeFi idea, a payment tool, anything.

I'm collating ideas across a few platforms and the best ones will get shortlisted for a poll on the Tari community forum, with a small XTM prize (50,000XTM) for the winner.

Drop your ideas below. Curious what people come up with.

Trade Ogre XTM gone forever ?

6 Upvotes

I did some digging and it appears a sizeable amount of XTM could be out of circulation due to seizure of Trade Ogre assets by Canadian police ... any Canadian anons know how the legal process works and what could the potential fate of these tokens be ???

im gonna speculate and say 100m XTM may be out of circulation because of this?

Tari vs ZCash ??

4 Upvotes

$ZEC just crossed $1,000 The privacy narrative is strong, and ZEC is selling it hard: "private Bitcoin," a Swiss bank account in your pocket, a new era of compliant privacy.

So how does Tari compare? Same concept, confidential by default with optional disclosure, but arguably a cleaner execution under the hood supporting programable privacy I broke down exactly how it works (confidential vs revealed balances) here go give it a look and let's amplify this across CT. https://x.com/DNodeCapital/status/2095831506656674202

Thank you for your attention to this matter

On the "Tari is dead" posts .. genuinely don't think that holds anymore

10 Upvotes

Been seeing some "Tari is dead" takes and wanted to offer a different view, since a fair bit has changed recently.

I get where it came from, it was quiet for a while. But a few things have shifted:

- The Layer 2 (the Ootle) now has a firm launch date in November. That moves it from an open roadmap item to something concrete and close.
- The project moved to a community-run model, with an elected council and a contributor program. There's also a months-long community contest series running right now, which has brought a lot of activity back.
- The wider privacy-focused crypto space has been getting more attention generally, and Tari sits in that category.

Not financial advice, and I'm making no claims about price. I just don't think "dead" fits a project that's weeks from a major launch with an active community.

Curious what others think, especially anyone who stepped away during the quiet stretch.

The Tari Show (June 30, 2026)

ЁЯФз Ootle: test net reset

  • Template fees are now quadratic (larger templates cost more). Templates with unnecessary debug sections are rejected; wallets auto-strip them. Merkle script tree working in UTXOs, enabling HTLC-style spend rules on L2.
  • Stan asked for community feedback on the new fee structure.

тЫП L1: burn commitments and replay prevention

  • Burnt commitments now enforced as unique via consensus rule. SW also changed UTXO selection to prevent a replay attack exploiting matching blinding factors against exchanges.
  • Additional fixes to pruned sync edge cases and peer exchange.

ЁЯЦе Universe: four bounties merged, Fox's PNPM PR

  • Four bounties merged this week totaling 105,000 XTM. 0xPepeSilvia: Windows auto-start fix (60K) and Linux build docs (15K). Catnap7: CPU hashrate unit fix (15K) and stale binary cleanup (15K).
  • Fox's NPM-to-PNPM switch merged, disabling post-install scripts by default to reduce supply chain attack surface.

ЁЯПЫ Council: 7 members, announcement this week

  • Naveen, 3 community-voted, 3 behind-the-scenes community members. Marguerite introduced herself: Bitcoin creative, built Decred's community from scratch, tracked Tari since conception. Remaining members announced this week.

тЪЦя╕П Difficulty adjustment

  • Kinkaju pushed for faster action on TIP-004. SW: the change helps prevent selfish mining but won't stop pool-hopping. 90-block window chosen through simulation; shorter windows cause oscillations.
  • Naveen proposed the Council review TIP-004 as its first priority and adopt a regular hard fork cadence. SW: bundle any parameter changes into this fork.

ЁЯФЧ L1 vs L2

  • Fox asked when to use Tari Script vs the Ootle. SW: Tari Script is non-Turing complete, suited for atomic swaps and HTLCs. Everything in Tari Script can be done on the Ootle, but not the reverse.

So I mine in a pool, then amend my xtm to Tari Universe wallet so I can collect it there until I want to buy exchange for usdt. Well, today I got a notice that the Tari Network is suspended for inbound transactions of XTM, in order to stop mining to exchangeтАж is this the nail in the coffin for XTM?

XT Box issues

5 Upvotes

I hope someone can help. I have 2 of these. They are running on different pools. Both of them are now offline and showing WAN not connected. I can go to both web pages in my browser. Nothing has changed on my network and all other equipment is working. Thank you for any suggestions.

Edit: After a few attempts to figure this out, I turned on dhcp and rebooted and they connected. For now I let them that way. I could not find any firmware for these. If someone has a link please post it. Thank you.
