Hello everyone,
I have been around since testnet and see the long term vision for Tari. I HODL my XTM.
I’ve been working on a local-first Tari/Ootle atomic swap and asset testing app, and I wanted to ask what people here would actually want from something like this.
It’s still early and experimntal, but the goal is to make Tari L2 easier to test and use without needing a hosted exchange or giving custody of funds to anyone. After that, mainnet with the same vision.
The idea is a simple local UI where people could test atomic swaps, TARI flows, public test assets, NFTs, and eventually cross-chain routes. I’m also working toward better two-person swap flows using invite/export/import features and QR codes, so sharing a swap invite or wallet info is not just copying giant addresses back and forth.
The branding is cat-themed and memeable because I think Tari could use something fun and approachable, not just another serious DeFi dashboard. The style is playful, but I’m trying to make the tool actually useful.
Things I’m thinking about:
-
Local-first atomic swap UI
-
tTARI testnet swaps
-
Test asset creation/distribution tools
-
NFT testing and swap support
-
QR-code swap invites and wallet sharing
-
Better wallet/indexer status and error messages
-
Beginner-friendly setup guides
-
Possible YAT support later
-
Future cross-chain testnet routes
-
Future local-first liquidity/pool testing
To be clear, this is not a token sale, investment product, hosted exchange, or anything where users deposit funds into a centralized service. I’m aiming for open-source local tooling.
Longer term, if it becomes useful, I may look at optional donations or community grants to support development. I do not want the app to depend on forced platform fees or custody of user funds.
A few questions:
-
What would you want from a Tari atomic swap/testing app?
-
Would you care more about swaps, test assets, NFTs, QR-code invites, liquidity tools, or cross-chain routes?
-
What feels most confusing right now with Ootle walletd, templates, ResourceBuilder assets, or testnet flows?
-
Would beginner guides and easier local setup help?
-
What mistakes should I avoid?
I’m just trying to build something useful instead of guessing. Any feedback, criticism, or feature ideas are welcome.
Thanks for your feedback and comments in advance!
