Bisq Notifications is a feature within the Bisq decentralized exchange platform that keeps users informed about critical activities related to their trades, security, and network updates. Since Bisq operates peer-to-peer without a central authority, these notifications ensure users stay updated in real time—even when the app is closed.

YouTube ↗About:
To use Bisq, you must first download and install it. Most exchanges are centralized exchanges running on servers controlled by the exchange. Bisq is decentralized, running only on the desktops of Bisq users.
Bisq manages offers to trade using a peer-to-peer network. This is a global network made of users who are also running Bisq on their own computers.
Centralized services are easy to monitor, block, and shut down, while peer-to-peer networks like BitTorrent, Bitcoin and Bisq are difficult to surveil, censor, shut down or hack.
All of this means that if you want to use the Bisq network, you must download and run the software on your own machine.
Features:
Revenue distribution
To distribute revenue from trading fees to contributors, Bisq uses BSQ-a Bitcoin-based colored coin. Contributors are issued new BSQ for their work, and BSQ is "burned" when traders use it to pay trading fees.
There is no central entity that collects or creates BSQ-Bisq stakeholders vote on each issuance request.
There was never an ICO. No BSQ is sold to raise capital.
Decision-making
With no CEO or central leadership team, Bisq stakeholders-traders and contributors-are the owners of Bisq.
Through social consensus (via voting) they determine Bisq's project strategy.

Privacy:
Ultimately, Apple/Google know that a device with your device token is receiving Bisq notifications. Note that they already knew you are likely to be a Bisq user when you download the Bisq mobile app. However, neither Google nor Apple can see the content of the notification. This is also the reason why OS pop-ups that notify you cannot contain any notification specific content.
Currently, the relay node does not store any data (notifications, device tokens, etc).
We feel that Push notifications can’t be implemented in a more private way. If there is any aspect of this mobile notifications mechanism, feel free to contact us. Of course, the notification mechanism is optional and does in no way limit the functionality of the Bisq desktop app.
