🚀 [ANN] Bridgoro Exchange - Participate in Beta Test and Earn up to $350 in BTC

We are excited to announce the launch of our Beta Test for a new semi-decentralized P2P exchange platform designed to provide secure, anonymous swaps without KYC or AML restrictions.  

This is your chance not only to be among the first testers but also to earn rewards for your activity and feedback.  


🔹 Project Overview  
Bridgoro project is being developed by a small, independent team of blockchain enthusiasts.  
Our mission is simple: create a reliable, censorship-resistant exchange that preserves the core values of crypto - privacy, autonomy, and trust through technology.  
Release date: September-October, 2025 (Subject to adjustments based on Beta Test bug reports and their corresponding fixes.)


🔹 Supported Crypto  
At launch, the exchange will support BTC, ETH, SOL, TRX, and XMR.
Additional assets, including stablecoins and other major cryptocurrencies, will be integrated in the near future.


🔹 Why No KYC and AML  
We believe in financial privacy as a fundamental right.  
Traditional KYC/AML processes expose users to surveillance, risk of data leaks, and unfair account freezes.  
Our exchange removes these barriers - you remain anonymous, and your transactions remain yours.  


🔹 Why Semi-Decentralized  
We call our system semi-decentralized because it combines the best of both worlds:  

• Decentralized: transactions are secured through an automated escrow mechanism using blockchain adapters and smart contracts.
• Centralized: the platform provides a smooth user interface, matchmaking, and exchange rate modules.

This balance ensures both security and usability.


🔹 Escrow, Buffer Wallets & Security  
The core of the system is built on blockchain adapters and smart contracts, which manage all escrow operations automatically.  

• Funds are only ever stored in temporary buffer wallets during the exchange process.
• Even the development team has no access to the buffer wallets during the exchange.
• In rare cases of technical issues, the Collector Module can safely retrieve stuck transactions within 7 days, but never interfere with valid swaps.

🔹 Exchange Features  

• Minimum exchange amount: ~$30 (USD equivalent)
• No KYC / AML
• No transaction freezes
• Automated escrow system for secure and fair swaps
• Transparent rates with USD as the base currency
• Gamified trading system with reward tokens (BRGX)

One of the devs here.

We would like to hear your thoughts on the idea of a semi-decentralized exchange that operates without mandatory KYC or AML requirements. The goal is to provide users with an alternative platform where privacy and autonomy are prioritized, while still ensuring secure and fair transactions through escrow mechanisms and automated processes. 

Such an approach aims to avoid the risks of centralized custody and unnecessary identity checks, which often result in delays, frozen funds, or unwanted exposure of personal data. Instead, the focus is on building a trustless environment where users can trade directly and maintain full control over their assets. 

What do you think about this concept?

Do you see a strong demand for a solution like this in the current market, and what challenges or advantages do you believe it could bring to the crypto community?

What do you think about this concept?

I'm an experienced Bitcoin user, but never touched any "decentralized" exchange. It's often not really decentralized (so it's refreshing that you at least refer to it as "semi-decentralized"), requires downloading and running software, and requires (wrapped) "tokens" and "smart contracts" on chains and networks I (and most people) don't understand and can't verify by myself.
So, before I decide if I'll join this test: let's say I have some Bitcoin testnet coins (which I do) and want to exchange them for Monero testnet coins. How much effort do I need to put in to do that?

[Bridgoro]

Thanks for the thoughtful question.
We are quite glad that the first reply came from a Legendary member.

I'm an experienced Bitcoin user, but never touched any "decentralized" exchange. It's often not really decentralized (so it's refreshing that you at least refer to it as "semi-decentralized", requires downloading and running software, and requires (wrapped) "tokens" and "smart contracts" on chains and networks I (and most people) don't understand and can't verify by myself.

You are right to point out that many so-called "decentralized exchanges" aren’t really decentralized in practice. That’s why we openly describe our project as semi-decentralized, and I’ll clarify what that means here.
The exchange is built on blockchain adapters and smart contracts that handle escrow logic in an automated way. Funds are locked in buffer wallets by the protocol itself, not by the development team. Even though we don’t have direct access to those wallets, the only way intervention can happen is via a collector module that helps recover stuck funds but only within 7 days for security reasons. You can read more about Buffer Wallets and Collector module on our GitBook page.
The "semi" part comes from the fact that, unlike a pure DEX, there’s still a registration layer (account creation), and the routing of swaps goes through buffer wallets instead of direct atomic swaps. This design makes it more user-friendly but still keeps custody away from us.

So, before I decide if I'll join this test: let's say I have some Bitcoin testnet coins (which I do (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5499150.msg65388830#msg65388830)) and want to exchange them for Monero testnet coins. How much effort do I need to put in to do that?

You don’t need to run any custom software or compile code. Everything is browser-based.
You simply create an account on https://bridgoro.com  and log in. Currently, all exchange operations are based on testnet networks only.
Don't forget to install Monero GUI and run it in testnet mode. The Guideline about using testnet networks on BTC, ETH, SOL, TRX, and XMR can be found on our detailed guideline.

Also, let us point out on No-KYC and No AML parts:
Because it’s a peer-to-peer design where users trade directly, there’s no reason to collect identity data. It’s one of the core principles: no KYC, no AML, no transaction freezes. Users remain anonymous, just as they would when sending coins directly on chain.

FYI: As we mentioned in the ANN, part Beta Test period launches tomorrow, so the exchange testnet offers with different pairs from the team will be available tomorrow, but we have already created a BTC -> XMR exchange offer for you. And you can create exchange offers as well to check how other users will accept it.

So how will you plan to raise liquidity? I don't know, but from an investor's point of view, it is not smart to lock an amount as liquidity and get BRGX^* as a bonus. So, as a first step, you need to provide liquidity and consider the platform "centralized."

How can we ensure cross-chain secure escrow? That is, how can we ensure that the escrow address is a 2-of-3 multi-escrow address?
What is the logic in supporting Tron (TRX) and not DAI or USDT TRC20?

Edit:

BRGX has no value outside the Bridgoro exchange
It is not a cryptocurrency, fiat currency, or financial asset

What is the logic in supporting Tron (TRX) and not DAI or USDT TRC20?

Thank you for the thoughtful questions.
Let me address them point by point:

1. Liquidity Approach
At the current Beta Test stage, the platform operates on testnet coins only.
For the mainnet launch, liquidity won't be provided in the same way as automated AMM-based platforms (like Uniswap). Instead, our model is P2P escrow-driven, and liquidity comes from the users themselves placing offers. However, to support initial activity, the team will also place exchange offers with liquidity of up to $15k between different exchange pairs. Once these offers are accepted and completed, they will be replenished to maintain continuous exchange availability and meet demand.

2. Internal token (BRGX)
The role of BRGX won't be to artificially incentivize liquidity pools, but rather to reward active participants (testers, traders, task completers) through a transparent gamified mechanism. This avoids the need for locked liquidity in the traditional sense and keeps the platform closer to its semi-decentralized intent.
Simply: BRGX is for motivational purposes only.

3. Secure Cross-Chain Escrow
Escrow security is handled through our blockchain adapters + smart contracts and automated collector module. While it's not structured as a literal 2-of-3 multisig (since different chains implement escrow logic differently), the design ensures:
- Funds are locked in buffer wallets that can't be accessed by the team.
- Each time the escrow mechanism creates a new address for each party.
- The smart contract/adapters enforce automated release only once both sides confirm their part.
- In the rare case of stuck transactions, only the collector module can retrieve funds, and this process is transparent and verifiable.
This way, users don't rely on trust in a centralized operator, but also don't need to handle complex 2-of-3 multisigs across incompatible chains.

4. Why TRX Instead of DAI or USDT (TRC20)
The launch lineup (BTC, ETH, SOL, TRX, XMR) was chosen to balance technical integration speed and broad user demand, while stablecoins will naturally follow once the core framework is proven stable.
Stablecoins like USDT (TRC20) are already on our roadmap, and we plan to add them shortly after the initial rollout.

5. Consider the platform centralized
The platform isn't fully centralized. We already published above why we call it semi-decentralized.
To be clear: all exchange operations are handled through automated escrow buffer wallets controlled by blockchain adapters and smart contracts. This means the team doesn't have direct access to user funds. In other words, we can't freeze or confiscate them. The only time our collector module intervenes is in the rare case of stuck transactions, and even then, the process is transparent and verifiable.
At the same time, we aren't calling it fully decentralized because users still need to register an account, and the initial liquidity seeding comes from offers placed by the team. That's why the most accurate description is semi-decentralized because of combining automated, trust-minimized escrow with a light registration layer for usability and security.

Additionally, we would like to highlight for you a few points in advance:
- DAI and other cryptocurrencies will be integrated shortly after the launch.
- Detailed information about the Escrow Buffer Wallet mechanism is already available on our GitBook page, and we plan to publish the full Whitepaper this week, providing an in-depth explanation of each component.
- The Beta Test has been launched in a testnet environment specifically to allow users to test the exchange while the Whitepaper is being finalized, ensuring both practical experience and full transparency.

Feel free to ask any other questions.

If transactions are decentralized like you say, than are wallets used by customers with their own keys, or they are centralized and part of Bridgoro exchange?

I wanted to check this for myself so I created account at your exchange, but there is some bug that constantly refreshes page, so I can't open anything, including menu.

Thank you for your question and for taking the time to test the platform.

To clarify: users don't deposit funds into a traditional centralized wallet controlled by the exchange. Instead, each transaction operates through Escrow Buffer Wallets, which are smart-contract-based and blockchain-adapter-controlled. A new wallet address is generated for every exchange. These wallets aren't under the team's private control, so we don’t have access to the funds. The system is designed so that funds can only be released once both parties confirm their side of the transaction.
A detailed explanation of this mechanism can be found on our GitBook page.

This is why we refer to the platform as semi-decentralized:
 • Centralized at the matching and order management layer.
 • Decentralized in escrow execution and fund custody, secured by blockchain adapters and smart contracts.

Regarding the bug you encountered (constant page refresh): thank you for reporting it.
We've identified it as a frontend loop affecting certain browsers.
Please try refreshing with Shift+F5 (Windows) or CMD+Shift+R (Mac), or clear your browser cache, this usually resolves the issue.

Since you've already identified a bug, we kindly ask you to report it in our [BOUNTY] Bridgoro Beta Test thread, including a brief note on which browser you used and how the issue can be reproduced.
As the first to submit a valid bug report, you currently have a strong chance of securing 1st place with a $350 reward. Once submitted, your report will be logged into our Beta Test bug list to help us improve the system.

1. Liquidity Approach However, to support initial activity, the team will also place exchange offers with liquidity of up to $15k between different exchange pairs. Once these offers are accepted and completed, they will be replenished to maintain continuous exchange availability and meet demand.

What are the incentives for providing liquidity to the platform? Will the profits be solely derived from transaction fees, or will the platform be P2P without liquidity pools?

2. Internal token (BRGX)
 This avoids the need for locked liquidity in the traditional sense and keeps the platform closer to its semi-decentralized intent.
Simply: BRGX is for motivational purposes only.

Will the company be registered, and in what country will it be registered? Submitting such offerings will require additional legal documentation and could lead to future regulatory charges.

Will the company be registered, and in what country will it be registered? Submitting such offerings will require additional legal documentation and could lead to future regulatory charges.

1. Incentives for Liquidity Providers
The platform is fully P2P, there are no liquidity pools, except for a small liquidity from the team that we will create around a dozen different offers to maintain the demand, with a total approx. liquidity of $15k-$20k of our own funds.

Incentives for liquidity providers (offer creators) are:
- Service Fee Share: After the first 6 months (when the platform will run with zero service fees), a service fee of around 0.5% will be applied to each transaction. A portion of this fee will be distributed to sellers who provide liquidity. Rewards are paid in BRGX, the platform's internal token used for easier commission accounting. BRGX can be converted and withdrawn at any time into USDT (TRC20).
- Price Margin: Sellers can set a Price Margin on their offers (up to +5% above market rate). This allows them to earn additional profit from trades. However, it also means that buyers may choose other offers with lower margins, so competitive pricing remains important.

In short, sellers (liquidity providers) can profit from fee sharing (paid in BRGX, convertible to USDT TRC20) and from their custom margins on offers.

2. Company Registration
The platform won't be registered as a company. We have learned from past cases (e.g., eXch automated exchange) where legal exposure created risks that led to shutdown.
As outlined in our Terms & Conditions, the platform only provides the instrument for peer-to-peer exchange. Users are fully responsible for their own activity. For this reason, we don't require KYC, and we don't perform AML checks.

This approach keeps the platform resilient and aligned with our core principle: an anonymous, censorship-resistant crypto exchange.

Additionally, we would like to emphasize that users need an exchange that supports cross-chain swaps with smaller amounts, since many existing P2P or automated exchanges enforce high minimum limits and often apply exchange rates above real market values.
Our platform uses CoinMarketCap rates directly, without adding any extra percentage on top, ensuring users always trade at fair market prices.

[Bridgoro]

Please feel free to ask any questions related to the project, including technical details and even the most challenging or complex topics.

We are open to all forms of discussion.

Your questions will not only help clarify important aspects but will also contribute to building a comprehensive FAQ section for the community.

(messy notes ahead)

I used Tor browser only for this test. First: captcha is VERY annoying.
I have to agree with Terms and Conditions. I can't open them in a new tab (my favourite middle mouse button), but instead it opens in a small popup screen. It's on 80% zoom and if I make it larger, the text doesn't fit anymore. I don't have a big screen to read post-it size PDFs.
After reading the first PDF, my captcha expired already. I think I had to go through a total of 5 captchas before I had a working account.

Without reading anything, I jump to Create Offer: Sell 0.1 BTC for XMR:

Error Maximum amount per offer reached for user level

Try again for 0.01 BTC: that works. After I deposit 0.01 (testnet4 to be clear), it keeps counting down from 60 minutes to zero. At this point it would be nice if it detects the deposit. I clicked "Confirm deposit" and now I wait.

I don't like the default Notification settings: I don't need that many emails for anything that happens. The default should be off for everything, so I turned it all off.

For now, I'm waiting for a confirmation, but none of the other offers include BTC and XMR on testnet. Those are the only 2 testnet wallets I setup on my computer, so I can't test any of them now.
I checked other offers, and the first thing I noticed is that "max exchange amount" can't be clicked. It should be clickable to easily buy that offer.

The exchange is built on blockchain adapters and smart contracts that handle escrow logic in an automated way. Funds are locked in buffer wallets by the protocol itself, not by the development team.

This sounds decentralized, and I did send 0.01 (t)BTC to your address (tb1qvt3m9trgpw9dlp0su0ca2nctwdxdy6fyqrqsl4), but how can I possibly check if that's not just an address under your direct control? It looks like a normal testnet address.

Update:

Deposit Timeout
It means the deposit deadline has passed without receiving the required deposit.

I'm starting to think you're mixing up testnet3 and testnet4: your Beta guide linked to several testnet4 faucets, which made me think that's what you're using, but other parts of the guide make it look like you're using the old testnet. You should probably use the most recent version, which is much easier to get.

[Faisal2202]

First of all welcome to the forum, even if I have said it on another thread hehe, I have already tested the site, for one swap and it went smooth except some things already mentioned in my bug post, overall the layout of the exchange is very easy to understand for a normal joe, The dark and light theme is very awesome works best with both, the overall experience was good although some things are in pending state as defined in your roadmap so will be waiting for them.

I wish you guys best of luck and you will get the results you are looking for.

[Grace333]

The part about gamification with BRGX tokens is cool. Most projects i have seen just add some internal token for hype and nothing else, but here at least it is tied to real tasks and people can actually turn it into USDT..  This kind of setup can usually keep testers around longer instead of them just farming rewards and vanishing right after..

[Bridgoro]

(messy notes ahead)

We value all feedback in any form — every comment helps us improve the platform.

I used Tor browser only for this test. First: captcha is VERY annoying.

Please avoid using the TOR browser with our platform, as it may cause issues such as repeated CAPTCHAs and other functionality problems.
Note: An Onion version of the platform (without CAPTCHA) will be released once the main exchange version is complete.

I have to agree with Terms and Conditions. I can't open them in a new tab (my favourite middle mouse button), but instead it opens in a small popup screen. It's on 80% zoom and if I make it larger, the text doesn't fit anymore. I don't have a big screen to read post-it size PDFs.

Your feedback has been accepted. We will consider adding a more suitable in-platform version of Terms & Conditions , Privacy Policy in future updates.
In the meantime, these documents are available on our GitBook: Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy

After reading the first PDF, my captcha expired already. I think I had to go through a total of 5 captchas before I had a working account.

Regarding CAPTCHA: it is required for security reasons and can't be removed entirely. TOR browser doesn't work well with captcha, so there are difficulties in passing it.

Without reading anything, I jump to Create Offer: Sell 0.1 BTC for XMR:

Error Maximum amount per offer reached for user level

Try again for 0.01 BTC: that works. After I deposit 0.01 (testnet4 to be clear), it keeps counting down from 60 minutes to zero. At this point it would be nice if it detects the deposit. I clicked "Confirm deposit" and now I wait.

For now, we decided it's better for users to confirm manually when they deposit funds into the buffer wallet. In future updates, we will consider adding automatic deposit detection to make the process smoother.
Just a note: if you deposit funds and accidentally press the Abort button (even after the warning popup), the rollback mechanism will still activate once the deposit arrives in the wallet.
FYI:
Minimum Amount: $10 (USD equivalent).
Maximum Amount: Limited during Beta Test.
In the final release, these limits will be revised.

I don't like the default Notification settings: I don't need that many emails for anything that happens. The default should be off for everything, so I turned it all off.

Notification settings were designed with maximum flexibility in mind. We understand they can feel overwhelming, which is why users can enable or disable only the parts they need.
Additionally, you can connect notifications directly to your Telegram account for more convenience.

For now, I'm waiting for a confirmation, but none of the other offers include BTC and XMR on testnet. Those are the only 2 testnet wallets I setup on my computer, so I can't test any of them now.

If you already have BTC and XMR testnet wallets, connecting TRX, SOL, and ETH web wallets (in testnet mode) should be straightforward.
Please refer to our GitBook for detailed guidance.
For testing purposes, browsers like DuckDuckGo, Opera, or Vivaldi can also be used.
Note: We’ve added BTC → XMR and XMR → BTC offers for you. Please check them on the Explore Offers page.

I checked other offers, and the first thing I noticed is that "max exchange amount" can't be clicked. It should be clickable to easily buy that offer.

Min Button not working: Currently affected by the Dead Wallet Amount Bug (fix in progress).
Half & Max Buttons: Tested and confirmed working correctly.
Please try clearing your browser cache and test again.

It is not technically possible to verify whether wallets are controlled by the team.
However, you can see that a wallet is created at the exact moment you create a Deal/Offer.

We agree with your feedback: some faucet links are outdated as many previously used services have closed.
We will recheck and update soon the faucet links accordingly.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on different parts of the platform and for submitting a bug report.
We really appreciate your contribution!

Just a quick note: if you’d like to participate in the Beta Test Reward Program, please make sure to publish your bug report in our [BOUNTY] thread.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for taking the time to test the platform!
We are really glad to hear that your swap went smoothly and that you found the layout clear and easy to use. It's also great to know the dark/light themes worked well for you but we are putting effort into making the interface comfortable for everyone..

As you mentioned, some features are still pending according to our roadmap, but we are working hard to roll them out step by step.
Feedback like yours really motivates us to keep pushing forward.

Thanks again for the good wishes!

We didn't want BRGX to be just another internal token, so we made sure it's directly tied to real tasks and actual usage of the platform.
To back this up, the tokens will be secured by our team, meaning we'll be using our own funds to convert BRGX into USDT and keep users motivated, whether it's through completing tasks or simply using the service.

Of course, we hope our funds don’t run out too quickly 
But the main goal is to build a system where rewards feel meaningful and help keep users engaged for the long term, not just short-term farming.

Please avoid using the TOR browser with our platform

No-KYC means you also won't get my IP-address, so I'm not going to stop using Tor.

An Onion version of the platform (without CAPTCHA) will be released once the main exchange version is complete.

Maybe you can expedite this as a privacy feature

TOR browser doesn't work well with captcha, so there are difficulties in passing it.

Maybe a different captcha can work, Protonmail has a much easier one (for humans).

If you already have BTC and XMR testnet wallets, connecting TRX, SOL, and ETH web wallets (in testnet mode) should be straightforward.

I don't like installing unknown software, and I don't want them on my system without VM. But as I never use those coins, I'll just skip them.

The exchange is built on blockchain adapters and smart contracts that handle escrow logic in an automated way. Funds are locked in buffer wallets by the protocol itself, not by the development team.

This sounds decentralized, and I did send 0.01 (t)BTC to your address (tb1qvt3m9trgpw9dlp0su0ca2nctwdxdy6fyqrqsl4), but how can I possibly check if that's not just an address under your direct control? It looks like a normal testnet address.

It is not technically possible to verify whether wallets are controlled by the team.

This is a BIG problem! You're basically asking users to trust you (to be semi-decentralized). Now it looks like a regular website, but with the additional risk of losing coins because of a bad smart contract.

However, you can see that a wallet is created at the exact moment you create a Deal/Offer.

All I see is an address. I can't see when it was created, and even if it was just fresly created, it could come from a regular wallet.
This is one of the reasons I've never used "decentralized" exchanges: when it comes to the details, I can't verify but have to trust. I'm not in crypto to trust people, and I've seen enough reasons not to trust anyone.

I'm starting to think you're mixing up testnet3 and testnet4: your Beta guide linked to several testnet4 faucets, which made me think that's what you're using, but other parts of the guide make it look like you're using the old testnet. You should probably use the most recent version, which is much easier to get.

We agree with your feedback: some faucet links are outdated as many previously used services have closed.

So which one do you use: testnet 3 or 4? My deposit didn't show up (and I'd love to see what your sending transaction looks like when you send it to someone else after I exchange some for Monero testnet).

We’ve added BTC → XMR and XMR → BTC offers for you. Please check them on the Explore Offers page.

I took one of those offers, and made another deposit on the latest testnet chain. Let's see.... Update: "DEPOSIT TIMEOUT" again

Just a quick note: if you’d like to participate in the Beta Test Reward Program, please make sure to publish your bug report in our [BOUNTY] thread.

My post was kinda "work in progress", hence the "messy notes ahead". I'll just quote myself there.

Who’s going to fund the exchange wallet since this website is created in Mar 2025?

[Bridgoro]

Who’s going to fund the exchange wallet since this website is created in Mar 2025?

Good question!
At the moment project is funded directly by our team. There are two devs behind the Bridgoro exchange, and we are covering this from our own funds to ensure everything runs smoothly during the Beta Test phase and beyond.
We completely understand that, being a new project means trust is essential. Every established project was once new, and we believe that shouldn't stop new ideas from being built and shared. Our goal is to prove reliability step by step and show through our work that the project deserves the community's trust.
And another reason for the current Beta Test show users how the exchange works on testnet networks, so users during tests won't risk their funds.
