BSQ Token (BSQ)

The BSQ Token, with ticker BSQ, is an integral part of the Bisq decentralized bitcoin exchange network. Users can benefit from a peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange experience through software running on their computers. The network offers two software versions for users to choose from: Bisq 1 and Bisq 2. Bisq 1, established in 2016 under the name Bit Square, provides a platform for traders to buy and sell Bitcoin for fiat and altcoins. With Bisq 1, trade sizes can be substantial, reaching up to 0.25 BTC for fiat trades and 2.0 BTC for altcoins. Security for these trades is ensured through a multisig deposit system, allowing for safe transactions even with unfamiliar counterparts.

Bisq 2, launched in 2024, introduces a variety of trade protocols, with Bisq Easy being the first and currently available option. Bisq Easy enables users to engage in decentralized, peer-to-peer trades of Bitcoin for fiat. Trade sizes on Bisq Easy are limited to 0.01 BTC. The security of these trades relies on the reputation of the BTC sellers. Notably, Bisq Easy eliminates trade fees and deposit requirements. It is expected that Bisq Easy will replace Bisq 1 for fiat trades smaller than 0.01 BTC. Whether using Bisq 1 or Bisq 2, users can enjoy a decentralized exchange experience that prioritizes privacy and security.
