Mostro 🧌 is P2P, so it supports any currency and payment method as long as there's a counterparty willing to trade.
Each node decides which fiat currencies to enable, so check that yours supports the one you need before you trade. Don't see your currency? You can reach out to the admin of an unrestricted node, or run your own node with the Community Program.
The details, in the graphic below. Which currency do you trade with? 👇

The markets map on mostro.world shows the currencies moving through the Mostro 🧌 network.
Each point is a currency with orders in the period you choose, and its size reflects order volume. The routes connect each node with the currencies it has traded, so you can spot active markets at a glance.
All the figures are computed from public Nostr events. Explore the map and tell us: which currency would you like to see bigger? 👇

Your identity on Mostro 🧌 lives in 12 words, not in an account you can recover by email.
Without that backup, a lost phone or reinstall can cost you your active trades, your reputation, and your history. With it, you can restore everything on any compatible client.
One exception: orders made in full privacy mode can't be recovered, since there's no fixed key tying them to you.
Back it up before your first trade. How, in the graphic below.

A Mostro 🧌 node doesn't need to serve the whole world to matter.
It just needs to serve the people around it, same language, same currency, same payment habits. That's what makes P2P trading actually usable for people who'd never touch a global exchange.
Small and local can be exactly the right size.

Are your trades on Mostro 🧌 actually private? Yes.
All communication is end-to-end encrypted, with different keys for every operation so your exchanges can't be linked to each other. You can even trade in an advanced privacy mode where not even the node you're using can tell which operations are yours.
Node operators never get access to any personal information either way. + Info: https://mostro.network/
#Bitcoin #Nostr #Privacy #Mostro
None of this applies with Mostro 🧌. You trade with a key, nothing more.
📋 Let them store your ID, selfie, and proof of address indefinitely
🧊 Let them freeze or close your account without warning
🔓 Risk your data leaking in a hack
📤 Let them share your info with third parties or governments if asked
⏳ Let them decide how much you can withdraw and when
🔗 Tie your entire trading history to your real identity, forever

Every step of a Mostro 🧌 trade runs against the clock, and each node sets its own times.
On the node currently active on mainnet, an order sits in the book for 23 hours before it expires if nobody takes it. Once taken, whoever goes first (invoice or hold invoice) has 15 minutes, miss it and the order reposts. The counterparty then has their own 15 minutes, miss that and it cancels instead.
Use instant payment methods, since once the hold invoice expires, Mostro can't step in anymore. + Info: https://mostro.network/
#Bitcoin #Lightning #P2P #Mostro
Mostro 🧌 doesn't set one fee for everyone, each node does.
Every node decides its own trading fee and order limits, and you can check both from your client before you trade. No surprise charges buried in fine print, just a rate you see up front.
Compare a couple of nodes before your next trade, you might find a better deal.

A hold invoice is the reason Mostro 🧌 can run escrow without ever touching your sats.
When you sell, your sats lock in your own wallet through this invoice, visible but untouchable, until the trade actually completes. If something goes wrong, they return to you automatically. If it goes right, they release the moment you confirm.
No custodian holding funds in between, just Lightning doing exactly what it was built to do.

You can trade in reputation mode, building a rating your counterparts can see, or in full private mode, where not even the node you're using can link your orders to each other. Same protocol, same encrypted chat, you choose how much you reveal.

Changed your mind on Mostro 🧌? Depends on where you're at.
If nobody's taken your order yet, you cancel it directly, no questions asked. If it's already been taken, you and your counterparty need to agree to a cooperative cancellation, and the seller's sats return to their wallet once you both confirm.
If your counterparty won't cooperate, you can always open a dispute.

Not your keys, not your coins. Every bitcoiner's heard it a thousand times.
Mostro 🧌 takes that mantra seriously even mid-trade: your sats stay in your own wallet through a hold invoice until the deal actually closes. No exchange holding your funds "just for a second" while you wait.
Same principle, applied to P2P.

🧌 The anti-abuse bond works like a rental deposit: you lock a small amount of sats before a trade, and you get every sat back if you complete it, cancel cooperatively, or a dispute clears you. You only lose it if a solver finds you acted in bad faith, or, on nodes that enable it, if you let your part of the deadline expire.
It's optional, each node decides whether to require it and sets its own amount and rules, all visible in your client before you trade.

Setting up a Mostro 🧌 node for your local Bitcoin community doesn't require a dev team.

When a Mostro 🧌 dispute opens, it's never an algorithm deciding who's right.
The admin of that node, or a solver they've assigned, looks at the actual evidence.
A real person makes the call, and the sats move based on what actually happened.

Opening a dispute on Mostro 🧌 puts a real person on the case, the admin of that node, or a solver they've assigned.
Both you and your counterparty get a unique token to confirm you're talking to the actual admin, not an impostor. The encrypted trade chat stays available as evidence, and you decide whether to share it to help resolve things faster.
Admins don't charge anything extra for handling a dispute.

A Mostro 🧌 trade moves through a clear sequence: you create an order, someone takes it, sats lock into a hold invoice, you confirm the fiat arrived, and the invoice settles.
Every step stays visible to both sides, and you can open a dispute at any point if your counterparty goes quiet.
👀 The full flow, in the graphic below.

No account to open. No paperwork. No one approving your trade.

Every country pays differently, so Mostro 🧌 doesn't lock you into one option.
Bank transfer, cash, apps like Cash App, Venmo, or Wise, whatever moves fiat where you live. You pick what you accept when you create your order, and you can select more than one.
Mostro only handles the Bitcoin side through Lightning. The fiat leg is between you and your counterparty.

In Mostro 🧌, a community it’s a set of people who share a currency, a context, and a basic trust between each other. Who have real reasons to exchange value.
When that community has its own node, exchange happens between people who know each other, with liquidity that stays inside, with an operator who understands the real context of their people.
Building community in Mostro isn't marketing. It's the infrastructure that makes the protocol make sense in real life ⚡
#Bitcoin #Community #Nostr #P2P #Mostro
Two questions about Mostro nodes 🧌
❓ Is there only one node or are there several?
There are several. Mostro is the protocol and each node is an independent implementation. Anyone can run their own, with their own fees, currencies and rules. If one node stops working, the others remain available ⚡
❓ Why do several nodes exist instead of just one?
Because decentralization is what makes the system resistant to censorship.
With multiple nodes operated by different people in different jurisdictions, there is no single point of failure. It also creates competition: better fees, better service, more options for users.

When your community runs a Mostro 🧌 node, you as a user gain something concrete.
You trade with people in your own circle. You use your local currency without extra conversions. The operator understands your community's context and can resolve disputes with real judgment.
Liquidity stays close. So does support.
That's what changes when the infrastructure belongs to your community, not an external company ⚡

What happens if you want to cancel a trade on Mostro 🧌 before it's done?
There's cooperative cancellation.
If both parties agree to exit, the trade is cancelled cleanly. Sats return to the seller. Nobody loses anything.
For it to work, both sides have to confirm. One party can't cancel unilaterally without consequences.
That mechanism protects both sides of the trade ⚡

After every trade on Mostro 🧌, both parties can rate each other.
That rating stays in the operator's history and is visible to anyone before taking an offer.
It's built by the people who actually traded with you. Over time, operators with good track records attract more volume, naturally ⚡
That's how trust works in a real peer-to-peer system.

What happens if the Mostro 🧌 node you use goes down?
Your sats were never there.
In Mostro, funds live in your Lightning wallet⚡ throughout the entire trade. The node coordinates the exchange, but never holds custody of your funds.
If the node stops working, you can connect to another one and keep trading. The network doesn't depend on any particular node.
That's what truly decentralized infrastructure means.

Curious about what #Mostro is and how to use it? 🤓
Mostro is a way to exchange #bitcoin in #LightningNetwork #p2p without KYC on #Nostr.
So far there are 2 Mostro clients being developed although we want to do more thanks to community collaborations. Take a look: https://github.com/MostroP2P
For now there is an exchange limit between 100 and 20,000 sats per trade.
You can try these 2 clients:
👉 Web client: https://mostro.bilthon.dev (https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-web). Privacy lover? Generate a new identity in each exchange! ;)
👉 CLI Client:
https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro-cli
This one is focused on devs and to test the Mostro daemon, it has so far implemented more functionalities than the web client.
🔥 You can also install the Mostro daemon locally or on a VPS to have your own Mostro and then help decentralize it. All guides to do it at: https://github.com/MostroP2P/mostro
