Bisq is a decentralized peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange network that you access via software running on your own computer. It enables secure, private, and censorship-resistant trading directly with other users, without relying on intermediaries.
Bisq offers two software versions providing different trading experiences:
Bisq 1
Bisq 1 is the original, well-established peer-to-peer exchange platform launched in 2016 (initially as BitSquare). It allows users to trade Bitcoin for fiat currencies and various altcoins using a robust multisig deposit system for security between strangers. Individual trade sizes on Bisq 1 can reach up to 0.0624 BTC for fiat trades and 0.50 BTC for altcoin trades.
Bisq 2
Launched in 2024, Bisq 2 is the next-generation platform designed to support multiple trade protocols. The first, and currently primary, protocol available is Bisq Easy.
Bisq Easy facilitates peer-to-peer Bitcoin-fiat trades with security based on seller reputation, rather than deposits. It features no trading fees and no deposit requirements, making it accessible for smaller trades up to the equivalent of 600 USD (or the equivalent of 600 USD). It is positioned as a simpler alternative for users, especially those new to Bisq or making smaller fiat trades.
