<p></p>
<p>I generally love to hear about the <a href="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues">big picture</a> <a href="https://github.com/bisq-network/projects/issues">changes</a> that are coming, or what should at least be considered as priorities.<br>
The role of a CEO is in part—capital allocation. Where do they direct funds to, what projects take priority etc. Where are the biggest problems currently, and will these projects/developments fix them?</p>
<p>With Bisq n' the DAO, there is no CEO. So I am wondering a bit more generally, is the prioritisation set by the bounty's for these projects? With dev's taking it upon themselves to fix low hanging fruit? How about, as to whether the pieces fit together?</p>
<p>For instance I've been hammering home the benefits of 4. <a href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147/hovercard">Increase liquidity by allowing each offer to have multiple payment methods & currencies associated with it</a> <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="798768834" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147">#5147</a> but maybe all the work would be un-done or made harder by then having to change e.g. 3 "Combining the 4 on-chain transactions into one" if that was done later on? So inefficient from an overall perspective?</p>
<p>I guess I would be interested in discussions of what folks think should be prioritised? And also structure wise moving forward? Or pointing me towards something that indicates how various considerations are weighed? I've scanned the pull requests, issues, other repositories for some of (imo) top priorities.</p>
<p><strong>1. API Release</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Allows for Bisq integration with variety of other apps.</li>
<li>Improvements to mobile app functionality? Can take offers, & make offers via mobile on the fly? Respond to traders via chat? Improves communication.</li>
<li>Improved liquidity, more trades, more use.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. Lightning Network integration (L2)?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Technically hard to implement? Solutions being worked on?</li>
<li>Cheaper fee's to use Bisq, and faster transactions.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. Taproot & Schorr advancements?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Far cheaper fee's</li>
<li>More privacy</li>
<li>Allow's tapscript, more flexibility for smart contracts</li>
<li>Being prepared for this given its already in Bitcoin Core & activation is currently being discussed.</li>

<li>This would enable makers to place offers with no miner fees.</li>
<li>Cheaper for takers (1 trans) instead of 4.</li>
<li>More liquidity as a result, given more offers & less costs, more trades</li>
<li>I think a large reduction in trades on Bisq has been a result of higher fee's</li>
