Bisq Connect

Bisq Connect is a lightweight utility app that allows users to securely connect to a trusted Bisq2 Node. By scanning a QR

code generated by your node, you can establish a direct and private communication channel — no more manually typing

addresses and passwords.

Key Features:

- QR Code Pairing: Scan a QR code from your Bisq2 node to connect instantly. The QR code securely encodes the connection

address, encryption credentials, and a one-time pairing token that expires after 5 minutes.

- Multiple Connection Modes: Connect over your local WiFi (LAN) with TLS encryption and certificate pinning, or remotely

over Tor with optional client authentication for maximum privacy.

- Session-Based Authentication: After pairing, the app uses session tokens instead of passwords. No plaintext credentials

are stored or transmitted.

- Automatic Profile Sync: Your Bisq2 profiles are fetched automatically from your trusted node — no separate setup required

on mobile.

- Privacy-Preserving: The app does not store, track, or share any user data. All connections are encrypted: TLS for local

networks, Tor for remote access.

- Lightweight & Efficient: Designed for minimal CPU, battery, and data usage while providing a seamless connection

experience.

- User-Controlled Access: You choose which node to connect to, ensuring complete control over your connections.

Bisq Connect is a utility tool meant to facilitate node interaction and enhance accessibility within the Bisq ecosystem.

Requirements:

- A Bisq2 node running on your computer or server

- Android 7.0+ (SDK 24)
