Bisq is an open-source desktop application and peer-to-peer network for exchanging bitcoin for national currencies and other cryptocurrencies without a centralized intermediary. It uses Tor-based P2P networking, 2-of-2 multisig escrow wallets, and a human arbitration system to enable private, non-custodial trading.
Use cases
- buy bitcoin with fiat without identity verification
- sell bitcoin privately peer-to-peer
- trade bitcoin for other cryptocurrencies without a centralized exchange
- run a non-custodial exchange node on my own machine
- exchange bitcoin over Tor for privacy
- resolve trade disputes with decentralized arbitration
When to choose
- you want to trade bitcoin without KYC/identity verification
- you need a non-custodial exchange where you always control your funds
- privacy matters and you want Tor-based, serverless trading
- you prefer open-source software with decentralized governance
When to avoid
- you want fast, high-liquidity trading with low spreads
- you need a custodial or mobile-first exchange experience
- you are unwilling to lock security deposits in multisig escrow
- you need support for many altcoins beyond what Bisq offers
