OB1, the developers behind the online decentralized marketplace and currency trading platform OpenBazaar announced a mobile counterpart called Haven.
Haven allows users to buy and sell goods and services directly with each other, using cryptocurrencies, without relying on middlemen who take a cut of merchants' transactions or gather shoppers' data.
Since OB1 launched its 2.0 of OpenBazaar, 250,000 nodes joined the permissionless network.
Jenn Cloud, OB1 communications lead, said "There is a core user base of several thousand who frequently use the software and many more are casual users." A substantial proportion of the "Long-lasting nodes" are merchants.
The app has many of the same features as OpenBazaar, but does not support P2P cryptocurrency trading.
Dispute moderation is only supported by the desktop client.
Like OpenBazaar, Haven will support BTC, BCH, ZEC and LTC. The representative said plans for a previously reported native token, OBC, are currently on hold.
Though "No firm plans have been made by the OB1 team several in the OpenBazaar community have begun work to see if it's possible to support Monero," said Cloud.
Haven is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
OB1 has raised $10.5 million to date from investors including Union Square Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, OMERS Ventures, BlueYard, Bitmain, Digital Currency Group, and venture capitalist William Mougayar.
