This update brings critical improvements for more reliable message delivery and bugfixes in the trade process. Please upgrade ASAP to benefit from enhanced resilience and stability.
✨ New features
- A splitpane to calibrate sizes between offerbook chat and offer list has been added.
- Official Bisq mediators and moderators can now be identified by the badge next to their nickname.
🔧 Improvements
- The Bisq Easy protocol has been enhanced to protect against triangular scams. Now, when the buyer does the Fiat transfer, trade ID must be set as "Reason for payment".
- Splash screen now shows the loading progress for each required step: Starting Tor, publishing onion service, connection to P2P network and, finally, data inventory request.
📬 Message delivery improvements
- Send message as mailbox message in case no connection to the peer is yet established, which speeds up message delivery and provides better resilience.
- Send mailbox message in case the node associated with the user profile has not yet published it's onion service. This case could happen specially with multiple user profiles and if Tor is slow/unstable.
🔄 Trade process improvements
- Allow multiple takers to take the same offer of a maker who is offline. Before only the first take offer message was successfully processed and the remaining led to a failure when the maker went online.
- Add new version for trade ID creation, including the take offer date. This allows that an offer can be taken by the same taker multiple times. This will get activated with June 1st.
⚖️ Mediation improvements
- Add support for message delivery status with multiple peers in case of mediation.
- Add new version for mediator selection which includes the offer ID. Now the same pair of traders would always get the same mediator selected. This will get activated with June 1st.
- Add mediation case details popup (for mediators)
- Add "remove mediation case" button (for mediators)
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug with trade messages arriving out or order, which led to failed or stuck trades.
- Fixed several issues related to mediation and the mediation request process.

⚠️ Security update
- To enhance security for buyers, sellers must have sufficient reputation to secure a trade for the specified amount. The required reputation score is determined using the following formula:
Reputation score = max. selling amount * 200
For a minimum trade amount of 6 USD, the required reputation score would be 1200, which can be achieved through any of the following methods:
• Burn 12 BSQ (approximately 25 USD).
• Lock 120 BSQ as a bond for approximately one year.
• Have a Bisq v1 signed account for at least 120 days.
• Have a Bisq v1 account age of at least 280 days.
BSQ can be purchased with Bisq 1.
For more details, visit the Bisq reputation system Wiki:
- To improve on privacy, sensitive trade data will be automatically deleted after a certain period of time. This can be adjusted in Settings > Offer and trade.
- See trade details in the trade process window by clicking on the "Show details" button.
🔧 Improvements
- The create offer wizard has been consolidated into three steps to improve quickness and ease of use. You can choose the amount and price in the same screen and see the BTC conversion display.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed reputation display at start up.
- Resolved issues during the trade process with peer messages not being processed correctly, and other bugs.
See all changes in this release:
Trades up to 25 USD no longer require sellers to have reputation, with higher amounts becoming available as sellers establish and increase their reputation scores.
This change makes it easier for new sellers to get started and should increase small trade liquidity.
The multiple, topic-specific chat rooms found in previous versions have now been consolidated into Chat and Support sections, with both public discussions and private chats being brought together under a single screen.
