The big upgrade is Bisq Easy, for the time being. The next upgrades will be a new optimized Bisq multi-sig protocol, submarine swaps (BTC<->LN), LN to fiat, liquid to fiat, and finally my favorite, BTC/XMR atomic swaps! Unfortunately, the atomic swaps appear to be on a low priority in development (their release is scheduled in Q3/2025).
This will actually equate Bisq exchanger to a mixer and allow transactions to disappear in an unknown direction. No matter how the service gets into trouble with government agencies.
I installed the client. I like that it is more lightweight than before. What's also better in v2, is that it contains an internal discussion forum, plus some educational content in "Learn". That minimizes the activity outside the client (i.e., in forums etc).
This is something I don’t really approve of, when an application becomes overgrown with many different functions, turning the client into a bulky and clumsy combine (multi tool).
