**Update from our security audit:**

It was unfortunate that we had to halt trading, but we are sure you understand that security comes first.

Our security audit identified two critical vulnerabilities affecting the trade protocol and dispute handling. If exploited, they could have led to the loss of users' funds. Those issues, along with several other security improvements, have been fixed in the 1.10.3 release.

Our audit is still ongoing and will continue to address additional, less critical issues in upcoming releases. One remaining issue affects BSQ swaps and is considered critical. To avoid putting users at risk, we have decided to temporarily disable BSQ trading until a fix is available.

We hope to release an update removing that restriction soon.

Please understand that Bisq is not a company with the luxury of a dedicated communications department. We fully recognize the importance of keeping our users informed during situations like this, but our contributors are already working overtime to complete the audit, implement fixes, and prepare releases. The limited communication is a consequence of focusing our efforts on resolving the security issues as quickly and safely as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.
