Expand Up @@ -150,6 +150,8 @@ Bisq operates with the following fees:
- Bitcoin mining fee: 0.0003 BTC (A mining fee is included in a transaction three times: Deposit from external wallet, trade, and withdrawal to external wallet. So the sum is 0.0009 BTC)
- Security deposit (might be used as arbitration fee): 0.1 BTC, which is returned in whole to the trader after the transaction in case he is not found to have behaved dishonestly. The security deposit from dishonest trader will be used to pay the arbitrator for his efforts. In rare cases half the security deposit of each trader may be collected instead. The active arbitration fee is not related to the size of the trade and does not affect the time required to mediate a dispute as the amount of work an arbitrator must perform is roughly constant even when small amounts are exchanged.
- (only for arbitrators) arbitrator's security deposit: 2 BTC. In addition, a part of each collected arbitration fee from dishonest traders is locked in the security deposit. This (accumulated) amount is returned in whole to the arbitrator upon stepping down from arbitration.
