Haveno (pronounced ha‧ve‧no) is an open source platform to exchange Monero for fiat currencies like USD, EUR, and GBP or other cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and BCH.
Main features:
-
Communications are routed through Tor, to preserve your privacy.
-
Trades are peer-to-peer: trades on Haveno happen between people only, there is no central authority.
-
Trades are non-custodial: Haveno supports arbitration in case something goes wrong during the trade, but arbitrators never have access to your funds.
-
There is No token, because it's not needed. Transactions between traders are secured by non-custodial multisignature transactions on the Monero network.
See the FAQ on our website for more information.
Haveno can be installed on Linux, macOS, and Windows by using a third party installer and network. We do not endorse any networks at this time.
A test network is also available for users to make test trades using Monero's stagenet. See the instructions to build Haveno and connect to the test network.
Alternatively, you can start your own network.
Note that Haveno is being actively developed. If you find issues or bugs, please let us know.

If you are not able to contribute code and want to contribute development resources, donations fund development bounties.
To incentivize development and reward contributors, we adopt a simple bounty system. Contributors may be awarded bounties after completing a task (resolving an issue). Take a look at the issues labeled '💰bounty' in the main haveno repository. Details and conditions for receiving a bounty.
To bring Haveno to life, we need resources. If you have the possibility, please consider becoming a sponsor or donating to the project:
