South African blockchain startup Tari Labs has unveiled a free online university that makes training accessible to local and international blockchain developers. Tari was developed and launched earlier this year by local blockchain expert and Monero promoter Riccardo Spagni alongside American investors, Naiveen Jain and Dan Teree.

Reasoning Behind New Project
Tari particularly aims to readdress the endpoint experience of digital assets such as in-game items, digital collectibles, concert tickets, loyalty points and other digitally scarce commodities. Naiveen Jain believes that digital assets are “great use case” for Blockchain technology, and in his opinion, there is “an opportunity for a frictionless experience” where users can store and most importantly, transfer digital assets in line with the rules of use preset by their sellers. The Tari protocol was created after the three concluded that none of the already existing blockchain protocols would suffice in developing their solution to address actual problems.

With the establishment of the proposed free blockchain university, their hope is that Tari Labs will be able to take part in creating the next generation of expert blockchain and open source developers who will be able to spread the Tari protocol further.

Speaking about the proposed project, Senior Contributor Cayle Sharrock said:

“Tari Labs University aims to become a go-to destination for easily-accessible learning material for blockchain, digital currency and digital assets, from beginner to advanced level. The more blockchain experts we can develop, the better it is for the ecosystem as a whole”.

Tari Labs is currently spearheading what it describes as “the most useful decentralized platform that empowers anyone to create digitally scarce things people love”, encouraging flexibility in digital asset transfer. Speaking about the proposed university, Sharrock explains that it is in the interest of Tari Labs to create an avenue for more developers to gain blockchain development skills, which will help them use the Tari protocol.

He said:

“[Tari Labs] gives talented people the chance to develop their abilities. The Tari Labs University is a natural next step in sharing knowledge and learning from the community in turn. As with any open source project, we see the learning material as living or ever-evolving. The bigger picture here is to assist in constructing an ecosystem for developers and enable them to leverage the Tari protocol.”

Johannesburg is the chosen location for Tari Labs’ proposed blockchain university because Spagni believes that much of the talent required to assist in developing Tari is already present in South Africa. Tari Labs University courses, learning materials and resources can be found
