Bisq

https://bisq.network/
A decentralized cryptocurrency exchange

Bisq is a free and open-source application that uses p2p to decentralize itself. Its purpose is to make a user be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and exchange them for fiat currency.

It comes in 2 versions: The stable bisq1, and beta bisq2 which is supposed to become a replacement for the former, now supporting the BisqEasy protocol for easy usage for experienced users.
