## Status of the project
A live test network is online and users can already run Haveno and make test trades between each others using Monero's stagenet. See the [instructions to build Haveno and connect to the network](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/blob/master/docs/installing.md). Note that Haveno is still very much in development. If you find issues or bugs, please let us know.
