<h1>Milestone 1 Complete: Laying the Foundation</h1>
<h2>What We’ve Accomplished</h2>
<p>Milestone 1 focused on making the plugin reliable, testable, and easy to maintain:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Full linting and code formatting</strong> for consistent development</li>
  <li><strong>CI/CD pipelines</strong> to validate code and produce builds on every commit</li>
  <li><strong>Deterministic builds</strong> for reproducible and auditable releases</li>
  <li><strong>Comprehensive test coverage</strong>, including unit and integration tests</li>
  <li><strong>Live demo and community server</strong> at <a href="https://xmr.btcpay.host" target="_blank">https://xmr.btcpay.host</a>, powered by <a href="https://kyun.host" target="_blank">Kyun.host</a></li>
  <li><strong>Public documentation site</strong> launched at <a href="https://btcpay.host" target="_blank">https://btcpay.host</a>, courtesy of the BTCPay Server team</li>
</ul>
<p>These updates prepare us for what’s next: <strong>full Monero support through a production-ready multiwallet plugin using <code>monero-lws</code></strong>.</p>

<h2>Why This Matters for Monero</h2>
<p>Most Monero users today start with wallets like Cake or Monerujo — and that’s great. But what happens when:</p>
<ul>
  <li>a merchant wants to accept XMR online?</li>
  <li>an event organizer needs ticketing with Monero?</li>
  <li>a community wants to launch a donation campaign?</li>
</ul>
<p>They quickly discover that <strong>deploying infrastructure is hard</strong>. BTCPay Server solves this for Bitcoin, but until now, Monero lacked an equivalent, user-friendly, open-source solution.</p>
<p>This project fills that gap — not just with code, but with <strong>infrastructure that anyone can use</strong>.</p>

<h2>Infrastructure That Scales with the Community</h2>
<p>Multiwallet support is key.</p>
<p>It enables <strong>one BTCPay Server instance to serve many users</strong>, each with their own Monero wallet. This unlocks:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Turnkey Monero payment processors</strong> — enabling WordPress plugins, crowdfunding campaigns, or personal stores</li>
  <li><strong>Shared community servers</strong> — run by volunteers or vendors offering privacy-friendly payments as a service</li>
  <li><strong>Business-ready solutions</strong> — for vendors who want to onboard to Monero but aren’t ready to self-host</li>
</ul>
<p>Our instance at <a href="https://xmr.btcpay.host" target="_blank">https://xmr.btcpay.host</a> will be the first public BTCPay Server supporting multi-user Monero wallets with <code>monero-lws</code>.</p>
<p>This was made possible through the generous support of <a href="https://kyun.host" target="_blank">Kyun.host</a>, who sponsored the infrastructure and helped us get the first community instance online.</p>

<h2>Help Us Build What Comes Next</h2>
<p>The foundation is in place for open Monero payment infrastructure that doesn’t rely on centralized services. Milestone 1 stabilized our existing codebase. Now, we need to <strong>complete the Monero integration</strong> — and that means funding development of:</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>monero-lws</code> integration for multiwallet support</li>
  <li>Improved management of Monero daemon and wallet instances</li>
  <li>UI Redesign</li>
  <li>Documentation and tutorials</li>
  <li>Ongoing maintenance and support</li>
</ul>
<p>By supporting this effort, you're helping make <strong>Monero payment infrastructure accessible to everyone</strong>.</p>
