Why Haveno

Built different,
by design

Zero KYC.
Ever.

No name, no email, no documents. A pseudonymous peer ID is all you need to start trading. Privacy is the default, not a premium feature.

Tor by Default

Every connection routes through Tor. Your IP is never exposed to peers, servers, or observers.

Powered by XMR

Monero's ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT protect every trade at the protocol level.

2-of-3 Multisig

Funds locked in on-chain escrow. No single party can steal — cryptography enforces honesty.

100% Open Source

Every line auditable. No closed components, no trust required, no backdoors.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Haveno legal to use?

Haveno is peer-to-peer software, not an exchange operator or custody service. Whether a trade is allowed depends on your local law, the payment method, and what you do with the software. You are responsible for understanding the rules in your jurisdiction.

Do I need a Monero node?

No. Haveno can use remote Monero nodes, which is easier for most users. Running your own local node gives better verification and privacy because your wallet does not need to ask third-party nodes for chain data.

What if my trade partner disappears?

The XMR in the trade stays locked in multisig escrow. If the trade cannot be completed normally, either side can open a dispute after the relevant timeout. An arbitrator reviews the case and co-signs the appropriate payout.

What fees does Haveno charge?

Trades include Haveno trade fees and normal Monero network fees. You may also pay fees charged by your fiat payment provider. Always check the final trade details in the client before accepting an offer.

Is Haveno related to Bisq?

Haveno started as a fork of Bisq, but it uses Monero as the base currency and has different wallet, privacy, and trade-flow assumptions. Some ideas are inherited from Bisq, but the projects are separate.

Does Haveno hold my coins?

No single server or website holds your XMR. During a trade, funds are locked in a multisig escrow controlled by the trade participants and, if needed, an arbitrator. Outside a trade, your wallet keys remain local to your client.

What information can a trade peer see?

A peer sees the information needed for the chosen payment method and trade, such as payment instructions and the trade amount. They do not need your email, account login, or documents unless you voluntarily reveal information through the payment rail itself.

Why does Haveno use Tor?

Tor hides network addresses between peers and makes it harder to map trades to IP addresses. It does not make unsafe payment methods private by itself, so the privacy of a fiat leg still depends on the rail you choose.
