			==Fork==

			A fork is currently under development: the Bisq Light Client, developed in Python and based on Electrum. The aim of the project is to solve Bisq's known issues (sync errors, heavy software, identity change impossible without restarting the software and resync) by offering a lightweight, responsive client based on Bisq 1. The cryptocurrency exchange eXch is funding the project.
