Merchants that accept Monero
Over the years, merchants of all kinds have come to value the financial privacy that Monero brings. In fact, merchant adoption is continuously rising.
If you are looking for places to spend your Monero, the directories below have some options. Please remember to do your own research before trusting them with your money:
P2P exchanges and Atomic Swaps
A great way to exchange Monero for other currencies is to use a Peer to Peer [P2P] exchange. P2P exchanges allow traders to directly interact with one another, and (in some cases) without the need of trusted third party (except for providing an escrow service). These exchanges are typically more private than their centralized and/or custodial counterparts.
A trustless method to exchange Monero with other cryptocurrencies is to use Atomic Swaps. See the blog post for more info: Atomic Swaps
