This name was by the phrase Satoshi Square, a place place where people can bitcoin with other people. This represents the peer to peer aspects of Bisq and Bitcoin being it’s core building blocks.

## We’re a DAO. But what does that mean?

The DAO is an acronym for decentralized autonomous organization . 
Just as the Bisq exchange is decentralized and censorship-resistant, so is its governance mode. The Bisq DAO is one of the tools that achieves this.The Bisq DAO aims to create a self-contained economy where governance is guided by software but ultimately determined by the collective, subjective judgments of its community.
