The Haveno Multi-Platform Native App will be an interface for decentralized applications that can connect to the Haveno Daemon, allowing users to conduct transactions in Monero (XMR) using the Haveno decentralized network. Users will be able to buy and sell multiple fiat currencies with their XMR through Haveno. The app will be able through all app stores and installers, or you can build from source.
- **Censorship Resistance**: By abstracting the VPN relay away from the app itself and requiring Orbot or InviZible, we avoid potential censorship issues. The app will not require VPN-enabled entitlements that need signing, thus preserving its censorship-resistant nature. The app will be available on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/).
- **Secure Device Linking**: The app will support secure linking to a running desktop or server instance via a QR code containing a hashed password in the URI of the Onion Link. [Onion Client Authentication](https://support.torproject.org/onionservices/client-auth/) will be available fro advanced users.
This proposal aims to bring the Haveno / Monero ecosystem together through Haveno with a user-friendly, multi-platform app that considers security, censorship resistance, and hardware wallet support. I would like to continue adding value to this project so am seeking funds to priorize it beyond the 2 months I scoped out myself.
This app is crucial for the Monero community because it promotes a censorship-resistant and decentralised ecosystem. There is great difficulty in finding places to trade XMR due to certain website closures and crackdowns. By intending to make the app available on multiple OS and platforms, including on F-Droid, Play Store, and App Store, we ensure that it reaches a wide audience, including those who prefer non-traditional Android phones using Play Store.
