However the 2 gaps in volume in May and July 2026 mean that more work needs to be done on the "unstoppable" and "uncensorable" fronts.
A DEX should not be stopped so easily.
For some years now I have been arguing in favour of a Bisq "Ragnarok Release" that is simplified, perhaps with less functionality, but more stable and resilient. It should be able to survive for years with no maintenance.
If ever the devs retire or are scared of regulation... this would serve as a fallback.
It's existence would also prove that Bisq can run without "management" and is therefore pure software, not an organisation. This distinction is important in light of MiCA and other similar regulations. "Running" an exchange falls under the CASP category. Merely releasing P2P software does not.
quotingRelease 1.10.3 has been released.
