Is the XMR project dead then?  Undecided

You can swap BTC for XMR on mainnet using the most popular BTC privacy wallet for a month now (also home to the largest BTC mixer probably Samourai Whirlpool with over 10k BTC in the pool now):

You can also swap ETH for XMR on mainnet for half a year now:

There is Serai dex coming soon™️ that will provide a Uniswap style interface to swap XMR/BTC/ETH/etc:

There are p2p options like the longstanding Localmonero, Bisq, and Haveno project seems to be finally getting off the ground.

Monero seems like it's underperforming for the amount of community, development, and infrastructure it has, but given Coinbase ignoring forever and now Binance delisting (and both of them promoting shittokens like Shib and far worse), it is what it is I guess. I don't think Monero is dead though, far from it.
