## What is Haveno?
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.
Main features:
- All communications are routed through **Tor**, to preserve your privacy
- Trades are **peer-to-peer**: trades on Haveno happen between people only, there is no central authority.
- 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.
See the [FAQ on our website](https://haveno.exchange/faq/) for more information.
## Status of the project
Haveno can be used on Monero's main network by using a third party Haveno network. We do not officially endorse any networks at this time.
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 network.
Note that Haveno is being actively developed. If you find issues or bugs, please let us know.
