Bisq
Bisq is a decentralized bitcoin exchange and peer-to-peer cryptocurrency marketplace. It enables the exchange of digital assets for national currencies or other assets through a decentralized order book without the need for a central authority, user registration, or identity verification.
The project utilizes a non-custodial multi-signature escrow system to secure trades, ensuring funds are released only when trade obligations are met. To preserve user anonymity and hide IP addresses, the network routes traffic through a masked overlay and uses end-to-end encryption for all peer communications.
The system covers the creation and acceptance of trade offers, the configuration of external payment methods, and a decentralized human arbitration system for resolving trading disputes.
