Orders connect buyers and sellers directly. Fiat payment happens between the two trading parties.
Bitcoin settlement uses the Lightning Network and Mostro's trade flow rather than a traditional custodial exchange account.
Mostro uses Nostr for coordinator discovery, orders and protocol communication.
Select MostroEuropa as your coordinator in a compatible Mostro client.
Create an order or take an existing offer from the order book.
The Bitcoin side of the trade is secured through the Mostro Lightning trade flow.
The buyer sends the agreed fiat payment directly to the seller.
After payment confirmation, the Bitcoin trade is completed over Lightning.
Use this Nostr public key to identify the MostroEuropa coordinator in compatible Mostro clients.
MostroEuropa is designed as a European coordinator rather than an EUR-only community. Supported fiat markets will be published here according to the currencies enabled by the coordinator.
European multi-fiat configuration
Final enabled currency list will be shown here after coordinator configuration is confirmed.
Mobile access to the Mostro protocol and order book.
Terminal-based client for interacting with Mostro coordinators and orders.
Command-line tooling for users who prefer a direct technical interface.
Mostro reduces reliance on traditional custodial exchanges, but peer-to-peer trading still requires users to understand the trade flow, payment method and counterparty risk.
New users should understand the workflow before increasing trade size.
Check the coordinator npub rather than relying on a name alone.
Keep the trade inside the Mostro workflow and follow the client instructions for payment and settlement.
The goal is bigger than operating a standalone coordinator: build a European community of Bitcoin users around open peer-to-peer trading, Lightning and Nostr, and grow its reputation through real use over time.
