Announcing Haveno, a Monero-based peer-to-peer decentralized exchange!
Haveno is flexible, fast, cheap, noncustodial, and private!
We need your help to get started. Please join our group chats on Matrix and contribute where you can!
#haveno
#monero
#xmr
Haveno will be no-KYC only. We are building it because
#Monero
badly needs a way for people to exchange xmr <-> fiat without needing anyone's permission.
Be careful of the FUD out there. Many don't like what we are doing and will try to discredit us in all the ways they can.
We are pleased to announce our second sponsor: Cake Wallet!
@CakeWallet
is a free, open source, and noncustodial Bitcoin and Monero wallet. We are excited to have their support!
#haveno
#monero
#xmr
We made it! 🎉🎉🎉
Our CCS is now fully funded!
We cannot say thanks enough to the
#Monero
and
#Haveno
communities that made it possible. Thank you!
Expect news very soon 😎
Centralized exchanges delisting
#Monero
are just making everyone a favour.
People are being forced to understand that moving from banks to crypto-banks is not what cryptocurrencies are meant to be.
Peer to peer finance is the future.
With Bisq, you can't buy Bitcoin with USD unless you already have BTC to place as a bond.
In Haveno, we can use Monero's CPU-friendly mining algorithm RandomX in creative ways to allow users to buy XMR without needing to already own some. This is an enormous UX victory.
‼️Major announcement‼️
It's now possible to test
#Haveno
online with other users🎉🎉
Run Haveno 0.0.1 and try the revolutionary feeling of private, P2P and decentralized trades based on
#Monero
!
Join the network in minutes! Instructions:
‼️We found the team that will build the GUI of Haveno. They are super skilled and we are very excited to have them on board!!
Soon we will start a crowdfunding campaign, stay tuned!
Some bonus screenshots of Haveno's dark mode design, which you all requested 😎
🎉🎉🎉🎉
The news you were waiting:
Our
#Monero
CCS proposal has been merged and it's now waiting for donations!
Funding the development of Haveno's user interface is a critical step and we need all the support you can give!
The
#Haveno
team has recently found a vulnerability in
@bisq_network
that would have allowed malicious actors to harvest user's payment information like Bank accounts, names and potentially home addresses at no cost.
Please take everything we say with a grain of salt. Bisq works today. Haveno doesn't.
We are optimistic that Haveno will be a wonderful DEX that allows p2p trades of millions of dollars of daily volume, but this isn't reality yet. We need to earn this position through hard work.
‼️We are looking for a lead UI developer!
Now that the design of
#Haveno
is almost completed, we are looking for an experienced UI developer willing to work in exchange for
#XMR
and able to lead the development of Haveno's user interface.
The skill set we are looking for:
#Haveno
will be a revolution in
#Monero
.
Imagine a trading platform where half of the fees paid by users is used to fund Monero-related projects and initiatives.
Well... you don't need to imagine it. That's exactly what we are doing!
We are happy to announce that Haveno will support 6 more fiat currencies at launch:
Brazilian Real (
#BRL
)
Swiss Franc (
#CHF
)
Indian Rupee (
#INR
)
Canadian Dollar (
#CAD
)
Australian Dollar (
#AUD
)
Japanese Yen (
#JPY
)
They join the already supported
#EUR
#USD
and
#GBP
!
Started as a little fork of a scam project,
Became the best privacy-preserving tool out there.
8 years... and we are just warming up!
Happy
#Moneroversary
to all!! 🎉🎉🎉
The
#Monero
community is celebrating the project's 8th birthday today - eight years of fulfilling the cypherpunk vision of decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving digital cash.
Happy
#Moneroversary
to all! 🎉🎉🎉
We just opened 4 new bounties! 💰💰
If you are a
#Java
developer and would like to help build the most important
#Monero
project of the last years and get
#XMR
in exchange, these are for you!
Some bounties don't even require deep Java or Haveno knowledge!
👇👇👇
While we build Haveno we are also sponsoring important improvement and fixes to
#Monero
, like a complete revamp of Monero's multisignature implementation and the reduction of the number of request to poll a daemon.
All these issues have bounties on them!

@bisq_network
Thanks! We are making different tradeoffs that we feel allow for a much better user experience in the way that most DEX users care about. XMR/BTC and XMR/USD trades will be cheaper and easier while remaining noncustodial. Users who prefer Bisq's tradeoffs can continue using Bisq.
Another major milestone today! 🎉🎉
The PR with the last portion of API needed for
#Haveno
has been merged!
Now all is ready for UI development, stay tuned!
Hey Twitter! We are still looking for a lead frontend developer (Reactjs, typescript) or a small frontend team willing to work on Haveno's user interface
Do you know someone that could be interested? Ping them in the comments! ⬇️
One of the cryptos supported on
#Haveno
at launch will be
@zcash
!
What zcash address format should we support for
#xmr
<->
#zcash
trades? Comments are appreciated.
We would like to thank our newest sponsor

The news you were waiting:
Our

Funding the development of Haveno's user interface is a critical step and we need all the support you can give!
And that's why you don't use
#BTC
as a base currency for a
#DEX
and one of the reasons why we decided to fork
#Bisq
. Routing through Tor won't help if the currency at the base of protocol is a privacy colander.
There seem to be rumors about Haveno not being developed anymore.
Folks, there is so much going on behind the scenes. The past few weeks we have been working hard on important updates. Stay tuned 😉
We updated our website:
Now there is a blog, which will be used to update the community, and a FAQ with common questions and a detailed comparison with
#Bisq
!
Cake Wallet is now close to offering purchases of XMR with debit/credit cards directly in our app. No BTC or LTC in the middle. No separate onboardings. Straight to your noncustodial wallet. Easy as Cake 🎂🎂
@TR10115
@SamouraiWallet
It's a P2P exchange. The liquidity is provided by the traders. We want to implement atomic swaps extensively, starting with
#BTC
<->
#XMR
‼️We just opened our
#Monero
CCS proposal‼️
We found a skilled team that will soon start building Haveno's user interface. Now we need the support of the community to gather the funds to make it happen!
Let us know your thoughts!
We are receiving a lot of generous donations lately!
100% of donations are used to develop Haveno and fund our Bounty system ()
Who needs VCs? Thanks
#monero
community for the trust and support! ♥️
The work we sponsored for improving
#Monero
's multisig implementation just got merged! This will be a huge improvement to anyone using multisignatures, not only Haveno!
Thanks UkoeHB for working on this!
New

#Bitcoin
allows and empowers behaviours like that. The fact that somebody can see a
#coinjoin
you made >1 year ago and can decide to censor you because of it is insane.
Bitcoin is the wet dream of corrupt governments and surveillance fetishists.
Just use
#Monero
Haveno doesnt exist because of animosity with Bisq. It exists because we believe we can build a better DEX that focuses on privacy, ease of use, and cheap trades. Bisq's main focus appears to be close compatibility with BTC, which we care about but are less tied to.
@BTCJUDGE
@sethforprivacy
the xmr community has made a rational decision and forked bisq to take it in a direction that bisq's maintainers weren't willing to take it in.
@AncientSion
@zcash
Crypto tribalism is something we really want to avoid. We are a P2P exchange for Fiat AND crypto. Is it so weird that we are interested in listing one of the few privacy coins out there?
An important CCS proposal is now open for donations. Seraphis would be a huge improvement for both
#Monero
and
#Haveno
. If you have the possibility, consider supporting Koe's work!
We just set a new bounty!!
Another great way to help us build
#Haveno
in exchange for sweet
#XMR
!
We need to migrate from Tor v2 to v3. We set a $600 bounty for the task. Details in the issue:
‼️We have one very important issue that needs to be solved as soon as possible. It's fundamental to get Haveno's user interface ready‼️
If you are a
#Java
/
#Typescript
developer, take a look! The
#bounty
of $1500 in
#XMR
is waiting to be earned!💰💰💰
Reminder that Haveno doesn't need the new interface to work and that the roadmap for launch is not affected by this situation.
If the market doesn't recover in time, we will adapt the legacy user interface and initially launch with that.
@sethforprivacy
@MagicGrants
The project is not frozen. Only the new user interface is delayed, which doesn't effect the roadmap of Haveno.
If we use Monero as a currency, we have to deal with the volatility risk. There is no way of managing that, except not using Monero and rely on something else,
‼️We just published a blog post with the latest major
#Haveno
updates. Check it out and see how the
#Monero
community can help!
The details are in the blog post, but here is a quick summary thread 👇
This is a huge improvement that will improve user experience drastically! Too bad it doesn't affect past transactions.
@justinberman95
is one of the best new
#Monero
contributors. Show him some love, folks!
Because of the current low value of
#monero
, compared to the rate at which we opened our CCS proposal, we are forced to temporarily pause the development of Haveno's user interface. See the blog post for the details:
Would you like to contribute to
#Haveno
but don't have the technical skills required?
Help us find developers!
Spread the word and let
#Java
people know we need their help!
Even only 1 additional Java dev would help us speed things up drastically!
I don't know who needs to read this, but people can already test
#xmr
<-> fiat/crypto trades using the legacy UI
We made the project public only after we had a working PoC for fiat and crypto trades and we are raising money now after working 1 1/2 years.
What's new in
#Haveno
?
We posted an update on Reddit: and on our mailing list. Note the link to the trade protocol is wrong in the email but correct in the Reddit post.

The problem was found by our own Woodser (Core Team) while working on Haveno's protocol (part of which we inherit from Bisq). We immediately contacted
#Bisq
and gave them all the info and support to fix the vulnerability.
@Frisiavones
Many in the community asked for a dark mode. We have been listening and the dark mode is being worked on by our designer, but we are not sure if it will be included at launch or a bit after. Other more important factors will be prioritized :)

The easiest way to donate is using OpenAlias. Fire up your favourite Monero wallet and set as the recipient address . The address will be resolved automatically!
You can also use a good old QR code.
@MrHodl
Most of the Bisq transaction volume is BTC/XMR. It's been that way for 3+ years. Now people can trade on this pair more conveniently, more cheaply, and more privately. If the Haveno DEX user experience is worse, people will just keep using Bisq. More options are good.
An unknown amount of personal $XMR, all donations to my blog/podcast XMR addresses, and all sponsorship funds for March of
@optoutpod
have been donated to this request.
That's how vital
@HavenoDEX
is to the accessibility and mission of
#Monero
to me!
Let's get this funded 😎
We cannot be sure if the vulnerability was exploited or not, but it's improbable that it was exploited in large scale, as Bisq would have probably noticed an increase of support tickets opened because of failing trades.
People keep asking if we intend to use Bisq's DAO.
We don't. We already explained some of the reasons behind this choice in our FAQ ().
Additionally, a recent paper shows that Bisq contributors who use the DAO can be deanonymized.
New "Sponsors" page online!
We have now 2 tiers of sponsorships: Top Sponsor and Sponsor. Top Sponsors provided larger donations than normal sponsors or critical help/support.
Hey
#Java
developers! More opportunities to contribute to
#Haveno
are opening up, we have two more bounties waiting to be picked up!
- Update payment methods and accounts from Bisq
- Base/counter currencies and price inverted for crypto offers
