Bisq 2 is the successor to the original Bisq (Bisq v1). It has been developed from the ground up to allow for multiple trade protocols to be accessed via a single DEX.
The initial launch of Bisq 2 will support one trading protcol 'Bisq Easy'. Overtime more trading protocols will be added.
Similar to Bisq v1, Bisq 2 will be a decentralized bitcoin exchange that allows anyone to buy and sell bitcoin in exchange for national currencies or other cryptocurrencies.
- Bisq 2 is a desktop application that works across platforms (it is hoped that in the future Bisq 2 will be able to be accessed via mobile applications).
- Bisq 2 enables users to access multiple trading protocols that best suit their needs, privacy requirements, security requirements, and levels of risk tolerance.
- Bisq 2 is a peer-to-peer network the enables users to find people to trade with, make and take offers to buy and sell bitcoin, communicate with their trading peers and when necessary access support.
- Bisq 2 is privacy focused, no verified accounts or KYC will be required. Users will also access Bisq 2 over the Tor network.
- Bisq 2 is self custodial.
- Bisq 2 is fully open source built and maintained by individual contributors.
Bisq 2 is part of the Bisq project, a decentralized autonomous organization.

Why Bisq 2 is needed
Bisq v1 is a powerful tool for bitcoiners that want to be able buy and sell bitcoin peer to peer whilst maintaining their privacy, not having to undergo arduous KYC processes, and keeping control of their bitcoin.
Bisq v1 was launched at the end of 2014 at whilst there has been constant improvements to the trade protocol and user interface over the years it was designed from the outset to support only one trade protocol. As bitcoin has developed and Bisq user base has grown there has been an obvious need for Bisq to expand it's offerings to offer more options to it's users for example trades over lightening and access via mobile devices. Bisq 2 is the first step to develop something that is built from the ground up to be more accessible to users and provide access to multiple trading protocols that can expend over time.
Some benefits of Bisq 2 include:
