Today, from the moment you connect to the internet, most websites focus on learning everything they can about you
In Web 3, the moment you share an Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, or Tezos wallet address with anyone, you expose your entire on-chain transaction history to the world
To us, this is crazy
We should have complete agency and control over what stories we share and how we share them
We believe the same should be true on the internet
This is why we are stewarding the development of Tari, a default-private digital asset protocol
Tari is unique with a highly intentional design
Our mission is to make it easy for developers to create and deploy Web 3 interoperable applications that are highly scalable and secure without spending months on audits
In addition to stewarding the development of this new protocol, we are building the first application that will use it
This app is Yat, a new censorship-resistant internet identity system that enables everyone to use a personalized string of emojis as their universal username
Why emojis? Over 90% of online users on Earth use emojis every single day
They are genuinely our global language
We use them to tell stories and connect with others in a beautifully simple way
Yats create a system that allows people to own a single emoji or string of emojis that best represents them
Yats are owned by whoever creates them and are an internet freedom product
Imagine a world where we all own self-sovereign emoji identities that are self-directed, deeply censorship-resistant, and cannot be canceled
What if instead of johnsmith535, someone could be 🔥🐉 or 👑 🎳(kingpin) or 🦄🤖💃? They could use this unique emoji username to do the same things they could do with a standard username, like sending or receiving money, chatting with friends, or creating a website
This would change how we connect
Instead of one-dimensional email addresses, usernames, or phone numbers that say nothing about us, we could express ourselves in truly remarkable ways
The possibilities are endless
At Yat Labs, we are building an incredibly talented and dedicated team to make Yat the preferred form of self-sovereign identity for everyone on Earth
Yat and Tari are the brainchildren of Tari Labs; the fast-growing startup focused on building privacy and pervasive privacy technologies for everyone on Earth
They were both co-founded by Naveen Jain (who also founded Sparkart)
They are backed by Blockchain Capital, Pantera Capital, Multicoin Capital, Trinity Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Canaan Partners, Slow Ventures, and many more of the best investors in the world
