About Épicerie Libre
A free platform for a local and transparent economy
Our Mission

A direct link between producers and consumers, without intermediary.
Open Source
A free and transparent platform, built for the community.
Why Monero?
Monero is one of the very few decentralized exchange means without a bank (cryptocurrency) to be untraceable by default, unlike 99.5% of other cryptocurrencies.Learn more
Privacy protection
It's a fungible means of exchange that protects the privacy of customers and merchants (fundamental right), as was the case for 2500 years with silver/gold coins.
Valuation - exchange rate
Monero is its own collateral and does not depend on any other asset (unlike the Euro or franc for example). The valuation of Monero in € is rather stable over the years compared to others, which facilitates its use as a means of exchange.See history | CoinGecko
Financial sovereignty
Fees of ~€0.01 per transaction, regardless of the amount. Nobody other than you can see what is in your wallet. Note your 25 keywords carefully of your sovereign wallet.
⚠️ Not investment advice, simply a free means of exchange between humans.
Since Visa/Mastercard (USA): Bank cards = everything is traced
With Monero: Back to private exchange freedom 🔐

💡 Tip: Once you have Monero, keep it in a sovereign wallet (Cake Wallet, Monerujo, Feather) and note your 25 keywords in a safe place (offline).
