Hey everybody,
Founder of your favorite future BTC-XMR swap site here! (Name to be revealed soon, we think it's catchy). A little about me: I have a background in traditional finance, but took an interest in crypto around 2015. I've been enamored by technology my whole life, and I am fluent in most things needed to venture into such a project, always learning though. I have been using crypto ever since, but have never felt the need to get involved and build something. Until now.
Now that XMR.to has shut down, we feel a need to fill the gap. As the title states, I am looking for candidates who feel they have something to add/have experience in the relevant fields that find this project interesting. We are working on an instant, no KYC (under 99.99% of circumstances) swap site for BTC to Monero, and vice versa. Thus far, everything has been done among the initial team of 3 people that I chose, I've been stalking this forum for a while and feel there may be individuals on here who could greatly contribute.
The primary concept of the website is complete, and we have been working hard on our backend. We are using an API to source liquidity from our accounts to facilitate the trade/transfer upon sufficient network confirmation. This will make it one of the fastest swap sites, if not the fastest, because the withdrawal would be initiated within 15~ or less mins in most cases.
The way things are set up, I think we should be able to manage up to $10m~ a day in volume as of now. We hope to grow to the point where I'll have to accomodate for more. I've also decided that the max transaction size will be 100BTC. I think this limit is super important because it will give financial freedom and privacy to those who seek it. We will be able to fulfill anything larger with a white glove, OTC solution. There's really no good options for no-kyc instant swaps (especially large ones) for the pair anymore. Now that Binance has restricted unverified accounts to 0.6BTC in withdrawals a day, things have become worse.
I am are looking for a designer to execute our vision aesthetically, and someone who has experience in web development/blockchain.
The designer should have experience creating web design that fit a modern aesthetic that is simple yet functional. We will be needing graphics, but not many. Possibly some animated buttons.
On the development end, I am looking for someone familiar with BTC/XMR. This includes blockchain, programmatic access in order to interface with our back end, key management, Monero CLI, Bitcoin Core RPC, and more.
We will also be seeking feedback from the community in the future regarding any fees that will be charged, features, and such other things.
