3.2. Dedicated trade wallets

To protect users privacy Bisq uses for every trade a dedicated trade wallet.
If we would use a global wallet for all payments of all of your trades, all trades would get connected and a future trader might find out about your trade history. To avoid that we isolate every trade in a dedicated trade wallet.

Funding of your wallet will be done at the moment when it is required. For instance when you create an offer or when you take an offer. You need to pay in from any external wallet the exact amount needed for the trade. When the trade is completed you withdraw to your external wallet.

Of course you need to avoid merging transactions together in your external wallet to not leak your trades there, but that is outside of the scope and responsibility of Bisq. We only can take care that inside of Bisq your privacy is protected.
