## What it is
Haveno is an open-source, non-custodial, peer-to-peer exchange platform for trading Monero against fiat currencies and other cryptocurrencies, with all communications routed through Tor. It is written in Java, offers a desktop GUI and a gRPC daemon with a TypeScript client, and supports arbitration via multisignature transactions without any central authority or token.

## Use cases
- buy monero with fiat without KYC
- trade XMR for BTC privately
- run a decentralized exchange network
- exchange crypto peer-to-peer non-custodially
- set up a testnet trading environment for monero
- create my own mainnet haveno network

## When to choose
- you want privacy-focused, Tor-routed, non-custodial Monero trading
- you prefer P2P trades with no central authority or exchange token
- you want to operate or customize your own exchange network
- you need a Bisq-like alternative that is simpler and Monero-native

## When to avoid
- you need a hosted exchange with fiat bank transfers handled for you
- you want to trade assets not paired with XMR
- you need a mobile or web-only client
- you require official endorsement of a mainnet network - the core repo only provides the platform
