I'm excited to finally announce that XMR Hub has officially relaunched at xmrhub.io!
For those who remember xmrhub.org, its not just a domain change or "fresh coat of paint". We've completely overhauled the website, redesigned the experience, and introduced a ton of new features.
What originally started as a place to discover Monero-related services has evolved into something much bigger.
Our goal is simple: build the ultimate hub for everything Monero. A place where newcomers can discover XMR, experienced users can find useful services, and the community can actually interact, participate, and grow.
So, what's new?
We've spent a lot of time rebuilding virtually every corner of the platform. Here's some of what you'll find:
Completely redesigned website: A brand-new interface, improved navigation, mobile optimizations, and a much cleaner experience throughout.
Monero marketplace: Browse, buy, and sell items using XMR.
XMR swaps: Swap between Monero and other cryptocurrencies directly through the platform.
Expanded Monero directory: Discover 240+ services accepting XMR, from VPNs and hosting to gift cards and other useful products.
Community profiles: Customize your profile, earn badges, gain XP, level up, and climb the leaderboards.
XP and rewards: Earn experience through community participation, reviews, activities, and other interactions. We want to make contributing to the ecosystem fun.
Community forum and messaging: Connect with other Monero bros, share ideas, and participate in discussions.
Interactive games: Chess, poker, blackjack, coin flips, and other games, including free XP-based activities. XMR-staked games are restricted to eligible adults in permitted regions.
Live Monero charts and market sentiment: Track XMR's price, explore charts, and vote on whether you're bullish or bearish.
Educational resources: Guides, tools, and content designed to make Monero more approachable for people who are just getting started.
And that's only part of it.
Why the move from .org to .io?
We wanted this relaunch to represent a new chapter for XMR Hub.
The original .org helped us establish the project, but as our vision expanded, we wanted a fresh foundation and identity that better represented what we're building.
xmrhub.io is now our official home moving forward.
This is more than a website redesign. We're trying to build a genuine ecosystem around Monero and make it easier for people to discover, use, and participate in it.
What's next?
We're nowhere near finished.
We'll continue refining the experience, introducing features, expanding the directory, improving community rewards, and listening to feedback.
One thing I'm particularly excited about is building ways for community members to earn recognition and rewards for contributing, even if they're not spending money on the platform.
I want XMR Hub to be somewhere people genuinely enjoy coming back to, not just another website they visit once and forget about.
We'd love your feedback!
This has taken a tremendous amount of work, and I'm genuinely excited to share it with the Monero community.
If you used the original XMR Hub, I'd especially love to hear what you think of the transformation.
And if you're discovering us for the first time, welcome!

Let me know what you like, what you dislike, what feels broken, and what you'd love to see added next. Constructive criticism is genuinely appreciated.
We're building this for the Monero community, and I want the community to have a voice in where it goes.
Monero matters. And we're just getting started. 🧡
