Bisq
Bisq is an open-source, decentralized desktop application for trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies peer-to-peer without relying on a centralized exchange. Users can buy and sell bitcoin in exchange for national currencies or alternative cryptocurrencies while maintaining control of their private keys and funds. Bisq operates over Tor to protect user privacy and uses a multisig security protocol to ensure trade safety. The application is available in two versions: the original Bisq1 (featuring the established multisig protocol) and the newer Bisq2, which includes the BisqEasy protocol for newcomers and is actively developing next-generation trading features.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results show that Bisq is actively maintained and distributed through bisq.network, but we could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is currently available for the standard Bisq1 or Bisq2 macOS distributions. Bisq's GitHub repository and download page do not explicitly describe architecture support in the search results we gathered. Since Bisq is a cryptocurrency trading application handling real financial assets, it is critical to verify compatibility before the Rosetta 2 removal deadline in macOS 28 (late 2027). Visit bisq.network/downloads to check the current macOS installer details, or contact the Bisq project directly via their GitHub issues or support channels to ask about Apple Silicon native build availability and their timeline for ensuring macOS 28 compatibility. Given that Bisq is actively developed, there is a reasonable chance a native build may be released before 2027, but you should confirm the current status directly rather than relying on an updated build appearing automatically.
