First download, install Bisq and create a backup (copy seed words - see How to back up your Bisq wallet seed).

Now you can trade. To buy your first BSQ follow these simple steps:

1. On Market tab select BSQ/BTC

2. Click on BUY BSQ

3. Select an offer and click on TAKE OFFER

4. Review offer details including amount, price. Then click on NEXT STEP.

5. Fund your trade (from Bisq wallet or external wallet).

6. Click on CONFIRM TAKE OFFER.

7. BSQ/BTC swap is now complete. Wait for blockchain confirmation.

8. Check that you have received BSQ in your wallet.


BSQ/BTC swaps are Atomic Swaps. This means that they are either completed or not. They cannot be stuck or incomplete. They have no counterparty risk and require no trusted third party to be involved.
