# Bisq

Bisq is a decentralised, peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange that runs on your machine, a natural fit for rotki's local-first approach. Import your Bisq trade history via CSV; everything is processed on your computer.

## Features

- CSV import for Bisq trade history exports.
- Peer-to-peer trades imported as swap events with buy/sell sides and trade fees preserved.
- Imported trades sit alongside the rest of your portfolio for unified PnL.

## Setup

1. In Bisq, export your trade history as CSV from your trade history view.
2. In rotki, open Import Data and select the Bisq trades file.

## FAQ

### Why is Bisq CSV-only?

Bisq is a desktop application without a remote API, it runs entirely on your computer. CSV export is the canonical way to share data with other tools.

### Does my Bisq data leave my machine?

No. Both Bisq and rotki are local applications, and the CSV import is read straight from disk. Nothing about your trades is sent to any rotki-operated server.
