−	Bisq doesn't support native segwit addresses due to the technical challenges involved when dealing with [https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/226 bitcoinj] library. Because of this, Bisq wallet cannot send funds to native segwit (bech32) addresses, those starting by ''bc1''. If your external wallet only generates bech32 addresses, you'll have to go through an intermediate step, sending your funds to a wallet that supports legacy (P2PKH, which start by ''1'') or segwit (P2SH, which start by ''3'') addresses, like Samourai or Electrum.

 In simple words a wallet is a piece of software that helps you manage private keys, public keys, and thus generate addresses, generate and sign transactions and keep track of the funds that belong to the private keys mentioned above by scanning the blockchain.
