Make Tari Better
++ Tari will always be a work in progress. +
+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.

-Why Should You Consider Contributing to a Project like Tari?
+Why Should You Consider Contributing to a Project like Tari?
-Sharpen your skills
-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.
-You want to use Tari in your application
-Contributing to the Tari project is a great way to make a meaningful impact, advocate for features you think the community should consider, and fix bugs you find along the way.
-You care about freedom enhancing software
-The Tari community believes that the world is out of balance. The internet is an incredible blessing for society, but there are tradeoffs. One of those tradeoffs is privacy. The only way to solve this imbalance is to build new layers of the internet that are private by default. The Tari network will be such a layer. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as perfect privacy. Privacy is a spectrum, and a cat and mouse game. The goal of the Tari community is to strike the best possible balance between usability, usefulness, and privacy. Want to learn more about the decisions the community has made so far? - Please visit the Tari GitHub repos, and connect with us on Discord or IRC. The Tari community is low ego, doesn’t believe in not invented here syndrome, and believes that great ideas can come from anywhere. We’d love to hear your feedback and collaborate with you to make Tari the most useful freedom enhancing protocol in the world.

+What Makes Tari Unique?
-- There are many privacy-focused open source projects in the world. What sets Tari apart is the Tari community's relentless drive to create a protocol that strikes a balance between meaningful privacy, and mainstream usefulness. Through beautiful user experience patterns and reference designs that help developers obfuscate complexity, and tooling that makes it easy for developers to create successful applications, the Tari protocol is a privacy trojan horse. The Tari protocol is intended to be used for real-world, at-scale applications, not prototypes. -

Tari for Creators
-What is a Tari digital asset? It is a programmable canvas for telling stories.
-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. -
