<p>Bisq trading is currently decentralized, but its revenue distribution and decision-making are not.</p>
<p>It is critical that Bisq be resistant to censorship, and the trade protocol and P2P network achieve this—for traders.</p>
<p>What about Bisq's developers? Project decision-making and revenue distribution are still centralized, and this creates vulnerabilities.</p>

<strong>Mining fees</strong>
<p>An offer maker only pays mining fees for the trade fee transaction. An offer taker pays mining fees for the trade fee transaction, deposit transaction, and payout transaction. This is because mining fees fluctuate and it's impossible for the offer

<p>Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin with the motivation to solve the problems of centralized payment systems so it seems inconsistent that centralized Bitcoin exchanges are still the primary way to acquire bitcoins. In our opinion the dominance and vulnerability of centralized exchanges is the Achilles heel in the current Bitcoin ecosystem.</p>
<p>Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin to solve the problems of centralized payment systems, so it seems inconsistent for centralized Bitcoin exchanges to be the primary way to acquire bitcoin. It often seems the dominance and vulnerability of centralized exchanges is the Achilles heel in the current Bitcoin ecosystem.</p>

<p>There have been many discussions in the forums about how to build a pure P2P based solution but there is still no real decentralized bitcoin exchange available yet.</p>
<p>There is much talk about decentralization in the Bitcoin space, and various attempts at creating decentralized exchanges to address this weakness.</p>

<p>
<strong>That’s where Bisq comes in.</strong></p>

<p>We have developed a solution which is based on pure P2P infrastructure. While the transfer of national currency requires the involvement of traditional payment channels like banks or payment processors, we are not dependent on any particular one. Their role is limited to what it should be: They transfer national currency. No power of censoring, confiscating, monitoring or controlling your financial interaction.</p>
<p>Bisq is one solution built on pure P2P infrastructure: desktop software, Tor, local wallets, and no central accounts. While the transfer of national currency requires traditional payment channels like banks and payment processors, Bisq is not dependent on any particular one. The role of these payment channels is limited to what it should be: transferring national currency. That's it—no censoring, confiscating, monitoring, or controlling your financial transactions.</p>

<p>Bisq is built for those who:</p>

<ul>
<li>Want to exchange a national currency such as dollars, euros, or yen for bitcoin.</li>
<li>Want to exchange a wide range of alternative crypto currencies for bitcoin.</li>
<li>Do not want to trust any exchange for holding your funds.</li>
<li>Do not want to trust any exchange for holding their funds.</li>
<li>Do not want to forfeit control or privacy to a central authority in order to trade with other individuals.</li>
<li>Regard financial transactions as a form of private speech that should be protected from surveillance by banks, governments, and other institutions.</li>
</ul>

<p>To keep reading about the Philosophy of Bisq, and how we solve the involved challenges to make it secure and easy to use please read our White Paper:</p>
