The goal to get 0.8% trading fees from all Bisq trading volume was never reached. BSQ needs to be used more than ever, since burningman won't buy BSQ from traders anymore.
Thus, I propose to raise the trading fees to a level that grants that with the current BSQ usage that goal is reached, while incentivizing those who still use BTC to start using BSQ to pay the trading fees.
The 50% discount when trading in BSQ is left the same.
If 60% of trades are done with BSQ, the revenue from trading fees (in BTC and BSQ together) will be 0.91%. Currently, the use of BSQ represents 66% of the trades. BSQ would need to be used for 80% of the trades to make it go under the 80% goal (0.78%).

  Maker   Taker    
  Current New Current New Total
BTC 0,0010 0,0015 0,0100 0,0115 0,013
BSQ 14,29 25,66 142,94 196,69 222,35

0.013 is the trading fee per 1BTC traded, and it's equivalent to 390USD.
222.35 BSQ is the trading fee per 1BTC traded, and it's equivalent to 195USD (50% discount using BSQ).

Trading fees updated as all proposals were accepted.
Software filters updated.
Wiki updated.

Proposal must remain open to communicate whether updating the trading fee is necessary or not.

Increasing the trading fees right before a huge bump in bitcoin on chain fees. I think this will lead to Robosats adoption and a decline in overall Bisq fee revenue and is not well thought out.

Also if the goal is to get more people to use BSQ then we should try to understand better why people don't use BSQ.

I could imagine a good deal of Bisq users do not use BSQ due to ideological reasons (bitcoin maxis) and would fee hiking fees on people who refuse to use BSQ as showing that they are less welcome on the platform.

As a Bitcoin maxi, coloured bitcoin is fine.

The only time it's ok to sell bitcoin, with it's not spend and replace, is with its so you can buy more bitcoin with cheaper fees. 😉

I've clearly indicated years ago+ why/how BSQ adoption could be improved. Some steps certainly in the right direction over that time.

Actually calling it out more prominently a possible option.

I think it will be the high miner fees rather than the fees that make users of small trades look elsewhere. There have been significantly less trades on Bisq this cycle due to the high fees.

April = 184 trades per day
May = 134 trades per day (to date)

Also if the goal is to get more people to use BSQ then we should try to understand better why people don't use BSQ.

Quite a high percentage of traders are using Bisq, about 70% of trade fees are paid in Bisq. Would be good to increase it further but it is not a low percentage.

Can you point to a link again.

Would be good to know what has been actioned and what still needs to be actioned.

This proposal keeps a record of the process to keep the BSQ trading fee at the target discount to BTC trading fee. It will remain open until we need to update BSQ trading fees again.

Last update was #409

Cycle 47

Parameters (see issue)

  • USD/BTC price: 27.200
  • USD/BSQ price: 0.82
  • Current BSQ discount: 48.4%

It's not necessary to update BSQ trading fee as current discount is between the 40-60% target.

Hi @MwithM

FYI, the trade fee filter has been turned back on with the updated fee filter PR: bisq-network/bisq#6670

This means that the filter will need updating with the BSQ rates should the values change at any point.

Thanks
