Haveno Exchange Launches Stable Release — P2P XMR Trading

Haveno, the Monero-native decentralized peer-to-peer exchange, has released its first stable production version following an extended development and testing period. Haveno provides a no-KYC, no-custodial environment for trading Monero against fiat currencies and other cryptocurrencies — directly addressing the identified gap in the Monero acquisition ecosystem created by the delisting of XMR from major centralized exchanges.

The exchange operates without a central server, using the Tor network for all communications and requiring no account registration. Trade funds are secured in Monero multisig contracts during the transaction period, eliminating custodial risk. The platform supports bank transfer, cash by mail, and several payment methods that do not require identification.

For users of privacy-focused platforms seeking to acquire XMR without KYC, Haveno represents a significant improvement over LocalMonero alternatives that were previously the primary no-KYC acquisition option. See the XMR guide on this site for setup and usage recommendations.
