Roadmap

The Bisq Roadmap is a living document that shares the Bisq Team’s vision and our current development priorities. This Roadmap is intended to provide an idea of when certain features are likely to become available.

This Roadmap might change at any time, especially in response to Community feedback.

You can help speed up our progress by contributing to Bisq.

Version 1.1.0

Released May 2nd 2019

As there is hardly any scam risk for crypto-to-crypto trades, this release decreases the security deposit amount for these trades back to the pre-DAO state. Also with this release, the time to synchronize the Bisq DAO state should be reduced a lot, and there are many smaller bug fixes and improvements.

Most importantly, this release also includes a temporary restriction that blocks accounts that were created recently to trade in certain markets where we had scammers. Users running older clients (< 1.1.0) will be completely blocked from trading, so it is critical that you update as soon as possible! The upcoming release 1.2.0 will include a more robust set of features that should make it nearly impossible to scam traders on Bisq anymore.

• Provide Bitcoin full nodes from Bisq developers (https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/39) to protect against BitcoinJ vulnerabilities (BitcoinJ is blindly following longest PoW chain and not checking consensus rule violations). That also avoids the privacy issues with bloom filters. (https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/999)

• Lower miner fees by fee estimation adjustments (using maxDelay 20 instead of 10 and taking average of 12 last fee results)
• Lower miner fee by transaction size calculation. Instead of using 600 bytes as estimation of trade fee tx we create a dummy tx to get the exact size id funds are on the wallet, otherwise we use 260 bytes for maker and 320 bytes for taker (deposit and payout tx are larger).
• Reduce security deposit: DEFAULT_BUYER_SECURITY_DEPOSIT from 0.03 BTC to 0.01 BTC; MAX_BUYER_SECURITY_DEPOSIT from 0.2 BTC 0.05 BTC, MIN_BUYER_SECURITY_DEPOSIT from 0.001 BTC to 0.0005 BTC; SELLER_SECURITY_DEPOSIT from 0.01 BTC to 0.003 BTC
• Use new trade limits to reflect higher BTC price: Bank transfers: 0.25 BTC; Swish, OKPay, PerfectMoney, AliPay: 0.5 BTC; Altcoins 1 BTC (exception SiaFund as their price is about 3 BCT and it is not dividable, so we allow 4 BTC there)
• Add Western Union as payment method
• Show latest trade price in case no price from external market price providers is available. To be used only for informational purpose not for % based offers due price manipulation risks.

Version 0.5.3

Released July 17th 2017

• The change of the application name from “bisq” to “Bisq” caused a change of the application directory as well. That caused on Linux that users wallet and data have been in the “bisq” and the app creates a new “Bisq” folder. To fix that we rename the application directory from “bisq” to “Bisq” if “Bisq” did not exist. If both already existed (if user has run 0.5.2.) we rename “Bisq” to “Bisq_backup” and “bisq” to “Bisq” assuming that the app dir with the current wallet and data was”bisq” from version 0.5.1. If case the user used the wallet and data now in “Bisq_backup” he has to move the folders content manually to the “Bisq” folder.
