Haveno (pronounced ha‧ve‧no) is an open source platform to exchange [Monero](https://getmonero.org) for fiat currencies like USD, EUR, and GBP or other cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and BCH.
- 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.
A test network is also available for users to make test trades using Monero's stagenet. See the [instructions](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/blob/master/docs/installing.md) to build Haveno and connect to the test network.
Alternatively, you can [start your own network](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/blob/master/docs/create-mainnet.md).
If you wish to help, take a look at the repositories above and look for open issues. We run a bounty program to incentivize development. See [Bounties](#bounties).
Haveno is a community-driven project. For it to be successful it's fundamental to have the support and help of the community. Join the community rooms on our Matrix server:
- Development discussions: **Haveno Development** ([#haveno-development:monero.social](https://matrix.to/#/#haveno-development:monero.social)) relayed on IRC/Libera (`#haveno-development`)
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'](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%F0%9F%92%B0bounty) in the main `haveno` repository. [Details and conditions for receiving a bounty](docs/bounties.md).
To bring Haveno to life, we need resources. If you have the possibility, please consider [becoming a sponsor](https://haveno.exchange/sponsors/) or donating to the project:
If you are using a wallet that supports OpenAlias (like the 'official' CLI and GUI wallets), you can simply put `fund@haveno.exchange` as the "receiver" address.
