We just launched our Haveno Network instance called Dawnswap. Before i go into the finer details i will start with the end of my message which is more important than ever in these changing times:

Haveno is an open-source, decentralized exchange platform built around Monero as a base currency, with networks hosted and maintained by the community.
Our network, Dawnswap, is an independent instance of Haveno hosted by the collective. By launching Dawnswap, we aim to build trust and strengthen the resilience
of the Monero ecosystem, ensuring that no single network becomes a point of failure or control.

Congratulation to your new collective honeypot exchange! The haveno software is a sophisticated decoy and the most centralized p2p software that was ever created (it is even worse than bisq) since every offer must be pre-funded and you have to lock up the full trading amount (plus security deposit) in order to publish an offer. Users cannot post any offers without making a deposit for each offer upfront. Its setup is not trustworthy and allows for easy exit scams with just 2 rugpuller bots, centralization of xmr liquidity and orderbooks, and tracking of every transaction. For more info compare liquidity on https://openmonero.markets and https://haveno.markets. The last one has aprox. 1000 times more locked funds (liquidity) that can be seized, frozen or rugpulled. This is because of the malicious pre-lock that I mentioned.

Even worse, all transactions are logged in the plain text publicly (on-chain), allowing for chainanlysis to create even more accurate trackers. I kid you not. This is worse than kraken if you think about it, bc kraken doesn't share any trade stats publicly at least.

Also multi-sig does not protect open offers, bc the admin can easily get 2 keys to seize all funds and run away with the entire orderbook (liquidity), so its a pot full of honey...

Haveno rug pull (exit scam) possible with 2 bots:

Haveno (Retoswap) smells like a honeypot:
