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? 👇

Mostrix 0.3.7 is out

✨ New
• My Trades → Ctrl+K → I: copy the full order ID (handy when admins ask for a trade UUID)
• Refresh is easier to find: Ctrl+K → U, and Shift+U Refresh on wide COMMAND bars (#220)

🐛 Fixes
• Long custom payment methods no longer break the New Order form or confirmation popup — text stays inside the frame (#221 / #205)
• Disputes Management: plain Up/Down select disputes again (#218)
• Chat copy mode: Ctrl+C highlights one message; Shift+↑↓ extends the range; Range keycap shows correctly (#219)
• Empty dispute chat: Ctrl/Shift+arrows don’t get stuck; Ctrl+K Actions stay in compact help

🧌🕹️ Mostrix v0.3.6 is out!

The Mostro TUI client just got a solid upgrade from 0.3.5: privacy, chat UX, reputation, and solver tooling.

🕶️ Full-privacy trades: opt into full privacy when creating or taking orders. Follow-up trade DMs honor it too, for better unlinkability on sensitive trades.

⭐ Your reputation on the status bar: see your own rating live. It refreshes at startup and after trades, so you always know how the network sees you.

📋 Copy chat messages: select a range in My Trades, Disputes, Observer, and solver DMs, then copy. Optional OSC 52 fallback for SSH and remote terminals.

⌨️ Contextual command bars: keycap-style hints on My Trades, Disputes, and Observer, plus Ctrl+K Actions for dispute and Observer workflows. Built to stay usable even on small terminals (like 60x15).

🔔 Solver Telegram alerts: dispute solvers can get notified via mostro-watchdog when something needs attention.

🔧 Also: tighter privacy binding around NextTrade and range children, clearer solver key docs, and lots of small reliability fixes.

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.

🧌 Meet Serbero: our new AI dispute assistant, live on Mostro starting today!

🐺 What it is
Serbero gets every dispute to your solvers fast, DMing them the moment one opens. It can also talk to both parties to find out what happened with the payment, helping them close the trade themselves when the facts are clear. Anything unclear or contested goes straight to a human solver with the full chat for context.

🔒 What it will never do
❌ Move funds, it's read-only, Mostro rejects any fund action it tries to send.
❌ Decide a dispute, it reports claims, never verdicts. A human solver always has the final word.
❌ Send generated text to a person, parties get human-written templates, solvers get the real conversation.

🌎 Starts in English by default, and automatically switches to Spanish or Portuguese once a party writes in one of them. Piloting with these 3 languages for now, more coming.

🧌 If Serbero ever goes down, Mostro and your solvers keep working exactly as before.

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.

Just a Lightning wallet. You don't need to already understand Nostr, most clients generate a new private key for you automatically every time you trade, no manual setup required, and those keys are yours alone the whole time.

That's it. Pick a client and you're ready to trade P2P.

Trust without consequences is just hope.

Mostro 🧌 doesn't ask you to hope your counterparty behaves. Hold invoices, disputes, and incentives where everyone has skin in the game make honesty the profitable choice, not just the polite one.

That's what a system built for strangers who'll never meet actually looks like.

2026-09-17T13:35:56Z

🧌 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.

2026-09-12T13:44:13Z

The chat between buyer and seller on Mostro 🧌 runs client to client, end-to-end encrypted, using a shared key both sides generate together through ECDH cryptography.

That key is known only to the two of you, not even the Mostro node can read the conversation. Every new trade generates a new key, so privacy holds even if you trade with the same person again.

If a dispute opens, either side can choose to share that key with the mediator, who can then decrypt just that one conversation as evidence, nothing more.

🔑 Restore Session (Settings): pull your active orders and disputes back from Mostro. Messages and My Trades peer chat refill without restarting the app.

📝 Import seed words: paste your 12-word backup, local wipe, automatic restore. Safer key rotation with rollback if something goes wrong.

🔄 Trade index sync: if your trade keys drift from Mostro, Mostrix detects it and offers a one-click resync.

💬 Smarter chat after restore: peer chat history rebuilds from relay, and trade messages land on the correct timeline step.

2026-09-02T12:20:28Z

⚠️Update⚠️

We’re close to completing the node migration. Why has it taken so long? Because we need everyone with open orders to either complete or cancel them. Only once this happens can we switch over to the new Lightning node.

If you currently have an open order on Mostro, please complete or cancel it so we can resume normal operations as soon as possible.

That said, you can continue trading on Mostro, as there are currently 7 other community nodes operating at full capacity.

This is yet another demonstration of Mostro’s resilience. Our motto is:

From a single point of failure to multiple points of success.

🚨 Attention 🚨 The main Mostro node is currently undergoing ...

2026-09-02T01:40:26Z

🚨 Attention 🚨
The main Mostro node is currently undergoing migration. During this time, it will not be possible to create or take new orders.

Orders that are already in progress will not be affected and will continue to operate normally.

This interruption only affects the Mostro node that appears by default in the applications. All other Mostro nodes continue to operate normally.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working to restore the service as soon as possible.

Heads up, Mostro users: In the next few hours, we’ll be working ...

2026-09-01T15:58:09Z

Heads up, Mostro users:

In the next few hours, we’ll be working on migrating the Lightning node used by the default Mostro instance:

82fa8cb978b43c79b2156585bac2c011176a21d2aead6d9f7c575c005be88390

During this process, that default Mostro instance may experience brief interruptions or temporary downtime. If it stops working for a short period, this migration is the reason.

This does not affect other Mostro instances.

Thanks for your patience while we keep improving Mostro’s infrastructure.

Every Mostro 🧌 node sets its own fees, rules, and supported currencies.

That competition is what pushes each one to offer a better deal, since no single company decides what's fair for everyone. You get to pick the node that fits you, and that choice alone is a form of power most exchanges never give you.

If the seller confirms fiat was received but goes quiet without releasing, either party can start a dispute. This brings in the node's admin (or an assigned solver), who reviews the case and resolves it manually. You can read more about how disputes work here 👉 https://mostro.network/docs-english/

Mostro 🧌 is a protocol, not an app or a company.

It defines how two people exchange Bitcoin for fiat using Lightning hold invoices and Nostr for communication. Anyone can run a node, anyone can build a client, and every node competes on its own fees and rules.

No single server to shut down. No central database to seize. The network keeps running as long as any node stays online.

That's what decentralization actually looks like in practice.

2026-08-23T15:56:02Z

Running a Mostro node isn't reserved for developers.

If your local Bitcoin group already trusts each other, you can operate the exchange yourselves: your currency, your payment methods, your rules. Mostro handles the protocol side over Lightning and Nostr.

Communities in Cuba, Colombia, Spain, Bolivia, and Venezuela are already running their own nodes through the Community Program.

Real financial sovereignty means nobody needs to say yes before you trade.

Mostro 🧌 runs as an open protocol on Lightning and Nostr. Every trade settles through math, hold invoices, and peer confirmation, with no company standing in the middle.

This is the world cypherpunks wrote about decades ago. Now it runs in production.

Why does exchanging bitcoin
between two people require a company
in the middle?

Mostro is the answer built in code.

A green protocol, with yellow glowing eyes
and a lightning bolt on its chest, living on Nostr, settling on Lightning, asking nobody's permission to exist ⚡

Part monster. Part protocol. All Bitcoin.

Exchanging value with another person should be an act between those two people. Nothing more.

Without a third party recording who you are,
where you're from, and what you do with your money.

On Mostro 🧌 that information doesn't exist
because the protocol doesn't need it.

Every trade uses different keys.
Communications travel encrypted through Nostr.
Nodes have no access to personal data.

with the protocol as the guarantee.

Sats stay in the seller's wallet through
a hold invoice. When the seller confirms
they received the fiat payment, the sats
are transferred to the buyer ⚡

The code defines the rules.
Nobody can change them mid-trade.

Trust is between people.
