We're happy to announce that Wownero is now available on BasicSwap and can now be swapped, on mainnet, against most other available cryptocurrencies on the DEX.
Note: Because Wownero is a "non-programmable" cryptocurrency, it cannot yet be swapped against other non-programmable cryptocurrencies like Monero.
- Wownero's integration (code): https://github.com/basicswap/basicswap/commit/ee2f462ee9843d80377de420a48e773b9aa4be29
Get Started
Activate Wownero
To begin swapping Wownero on BasicSwap, you must first activate the cryptocurrency on your local device. To do so, follow the instructions provided on the Github here or on the dedicated Particl Academy page here.
If you're installing BasicSwap for the first time, you can activate Wownero as part of the default installation process by either adding Wownero to the --withcoins= argument or by selecting it if you're using one of the automated installers (.exe installer on Windows or automated installation bash scripts).
Sync it Up!
After activation, launch BasicSwap and check the Wallets page to confirm your Wownero node is set up correctly. You may need to click the Refresh button for your wallet to appear.
The Wownero tile on the Wallets page shows a progress bar indicating your blockchain sync status. Note that 100% synchronization is required to view Wownero offers on the order book.
Begin Swapping
Once fully synced, you can begin swapping Wownero with other cryptocurrencies and place offers on the order book.
To guide you through the various processes, we've prepared a series of tutorial videos that show you the majority of the DEX's features. To consult them, head over to this playlist on Particl's official Youtube page.
