Monero founders to develop Tari - a blockchain network
A new blockchain network will be opened by the founders of Monero as well as individuals who previously had no connection with this cryptocurrency. This has been confirmed by Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni who is currently the lead developer of Monero (left on the picture above).
One of the first possible goals of this platform called Tari is to provide resale opportunities.The project is supported by Dan Teree, co-founder of Ticketfly (right on the picture above). Ticketfly was one of the first Internet ticket-selling platforms later sold for $450M, and now Dan Teree obviously doesn’t want to miss the opportunities of blockchain technologies advent. The press claims that Tari would be connected with ticket sales.
Interestingly, the network opportunities will allow to sell not only tickets, but even reward points from stores and various virtual currencies of computer games. The project developers note that they don’t promise total integration of corporate products right after the launch, but do not exclude a wide range of objects users will be allowed to exchange.
This is a big image shift for Riccardo Spagni whose cryptocurrency has become one of the concerns of the law enforcement in at least two first-world countries. Monero has recently been delisted from Coincheck along with DASH and ZCash joined by Augur. The leaders of the exchange chose an expectable narrative about fighting money laundering.
