* Hybrid proof of work

Tari is mined in two lanes. This page is the ASIC one.

Tari splits its blocks between two proof-of-work algorithms. SHA3x is the lane built for dedicated hardware; the other lane rides along with Monero.

This page

SHA3x

A triple application of the SHA-3 hash, chosen so that purpose-built silicon could secure Tari without inheriting Bitcoin's hardware. The miners in the table above mine this lane only.

  • ✓Dedicated ASIC hardware, rated in gigahashes
  • ✓Its own difficulty, separate from the RandomX lane
  • ✓Roughly half of all Tari blocks by design
The other lane

RandomX

Tari's second lane is merge-mined with Monero: CPU and RandomX hardware pointed at Monero can earn Tari at the same time. Those machines are compared on the Monero page, not here.

Buying into a first-generation ASIC market

On Tari, security advances with the steady pulse of hashes, where routine computation quietly yields a durable miracle of consensus and time. The engine is SHA3x, a proof-of-work algorithm derived from the SHA-3 family and adapted to open participation. It relies on the Keccak sponge construction, which is noted for strong preimage and collision resistance. Miners vary nonces and mix block data until the digest falls below a target that encodes current difficulty. Difficulty adjusts to keep block cadence stable as participation changes. SHA3x favors parallelism on modern GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD, so widely available hardware can reach competitive throughput. Tari pairs this with simultaneous mining via Monero’s RandomX, which invites CPUs to contribute while producing Monero blocks in the same cycle. The result is dual-mining that improves hardware utilization and spreads hashpower across architectures. This blend accommodates GPU rigs, general-purpose CPUs, and even prospective ASICs without granting any single class easy dominance. By diversifying participants, the system reduces centralization risk, smooths variance for miners, and hardens the network against targeted attacks. The protocol orders transactions, validates blocks, and enforces rules with probabilistic finality that strengthens as confirmations accumulate. Fees and block rewards motivate honest work, while the hybrid design lowers entry barriers for newcomers who can begin with equipment they already own. In practice, SHA3x is both a path to earn XTM and the daily ritual that keeps throughput scalable, latency predictable, and integrity intact.

Tari launched its mainnet recently, and SHA3x hardware is at the start of its curve. That cuts both ways: the first miners earn a large share of a small network, and the first efficiency jump from a second generation will be steep. The release date column in the table is more important here than on a mature algorithm.

Because the network splits blocks between its two lanes, SHA3x hashrate competes only with other SHA3x hashrate. Growth in Monero merge-mining does not dilute an ASIC on this page; growth in SHA3x hardware does.

The table's profit figure uses the live SHA3x difficulty and the current XTM price. With a young coin both move fast, so re-check before committing to a payback period.

* Background

About the SHA3x algorithm

Tari (XTM) is the native utility token that anchors the MinoTari Layer 1 blockchain and powers the broader Tari network, built with unflinching focus on digital assets-NFTs, in‑game items, ticketing, and loyalty programs-where clear rules, privacy, and composability matter more than spectacle; its dual‑layer architecture separates hard settlement from high‑throughput logic so the system scales without surrendering security or user control: Layer 1 (MinoTari) employs a hybrid proof‑of‑work that combines standalone SHA3x with RandomX merge‑mining alongside Monero, allowing miners to secure Tari and Monero simultaneously from the same work, which deepens security, diversifies hashpower, and optimizes hardware utilization by welcoming both CPU miners via the ASIC‑resistant RandomX design and more specialized SHA3x setups, all while reducing the risk of single‑hardware capture; miners are incentivized in XTM to validate transactions and maintain final settlement on L1, whereas the Tari Digital Assets Network (DAN) on Layer 2 handles the heavy lift-rapid issuance, trading, transfers, programmable rules, and asset lifecycle management-then commits results back to L1 for finality and dispute resolution, keeping fees predictable and latencies low for application workflows; the protocol’s dual‑token model links the layers economically by burning XTM on L1 to mint XTR, the L2 utility token, establishing a soft peg and a structural sink that can make XTM deflationary as L2 activity grows, aligning incentives between security providers and application builders; privacy is first‑class, with confidential transaction features that shield asset amounts and ownership details while preserving verifiability, a necessary guardrail for tickets, loyalty points, and game items where fair transfer, anti‑fraud, and user sovereignty must coexist; beyond security and scale, this design unlocks practical advantages-merge‑mining leverages existing Monero miners to harden Tari from day one, DAN’s batched and parallel execution reduces congestion for asset‑heavy use cases, and the separation of concerns lets builders ship asset‑centric logic without burdening the base layer-producing a network that treats digital property not as hype but as disciplined, programmable rights underpinned by neutral settlement, inclusive mining, and resilient economics.

* Answers

Tari ASIC mining, answered

The top row of the table at your electricity rate. The SHA3x hardware list is short and young, so check the release date as well as the profit column before choosing.

Yes, through the RandomX lane, which is merge-mined with Monero on CPUs. That lane is compared on the Monero miners page; this page is only about SHA3x hardware.

No. Tari assigns blocks between its two proof-of-work lanes, and each lane has its own difficulty. SHA3x hardware competes only with other SHA3x hardware.

Gigahashes per second of the triple SHA-3 function. It is only comparable to other SHA3x machines and to the SHA3x network hashrate shown in the stat rail, not to SHA-256 or Blake3 figures.
