We are proud to announce that Wasabi Wallet v2.7.0 is our first release fully distributed through Nostr. Instead of relying on GitHub or DNS, clients now receive update notifications directly from notes published by Wasabi’s Nostr public key. This ensures that even in the event of infrastructure outages or black swan scenarios, we can deliver emergency fixes seamlessly. For users, the update process remains unchanged: smooth, secure, and reliable. For the project, this marks an important step toward resilience: guaranteeing that users will always be able to securely access their funds with Wasabi, without sacrificing privacy by restoring seeds on less private wallets. Of course, we also want to thank relay operators for making it possible to implement features like this.

🚨 New release 2.7.0 is here! 🚨 v2.7.0 is a stabilization update that boosts reliability while bringing a fresh look & smoother performance. 🟠 Enhanced Node Integration 🎨 Refreshed UI βš™οΈ 1 Config/Network 🀯 Smarter Coordinators πŸ› οΈ Many Bug Fixes πŸ‘‰ 🟠 Enhanced Bitcoin Node Integration Bitcoin node connectivity is now more seamless. RPC endpoint handling has been refined for smoother setup, with support for onion-service RPC interfaces. Additionally, Wasabi no longer bundles bitcoind binaries, while block downloading has been simplified and made more dependable. 🎨 Refreshed UI with Icons & Animations The interface has been given a polished update. Subtle animations and a balanced color scheme breathe new life into Wasabi’s design, making it both cleaner and less aggressive. βš™οΈ Dedicated Config Files Per Network Each network Mainnet, Testnet4, and Regtest β€” now has its own independent configuration file. Switching to test networks is easier and your preferences are always preserved. 🀯 Stronger & Smarter Coordinators Coordinators are automatically published as onion services right out of the box: no manual Tor setup needed. Coordinators can now also run on pruned nodes in blocksonly mode. Plus, fallback fee rate providers were implemented (mempool.space and blockstream.info), ensuring accurate fee estimates, even if your node can’t provide them. πŸ› οΈ Refinements & Fixes - Full-RBF by default: All transactions are treated as replaceable. - Resilient HTTP communication: Smarter retry handling makes connections sturdier. - Seed recovery fixes: Annoying typing issues are resolved. - Sharper fee estimations: Precise decimal calculations with no rounding loss. - NBitcoin updated to 8.0.14: Latest Bitcoin protocol improvements included. - Clearer terminology: β€œBackend” is now called β€œIndexer.” - Lean codebase: Legacy components like TurboSync and BlockNotifier removed. - Safer Coinjoin handling: Excluded Coins can only be changed when Coinjoin is paused. - Donation Button removed from Main Screen: The button is gone, but donations are still possible via the search bar. - Conflux by default: Better Tor configuration for improved connectivity.

🚨 New release 2.5.0 is here! πŸ’ͺ 3rd Party Providers for Fee & Exchange Rate πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”§ Quality of Life Features πŸ“¦ Backend and Coordinator packaged for Linux This version continues to improve resiliency and makes some long-awaited improvements as a thank-you to our community! πŸ’ͺ 3rd Party Providers for Fee & Exchange Rate Wasabi now fetches the Fee Rate Estimations & Exchange Rate from configurable 3rd parties. This change is important as it's one of the last steps in our long-term mission of making Wasabi resistant to any event! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”§ Quality of Life Features To thank you for your incredible support, this release is packed with long-awaited improvements! We’re grateful for your belief in Wasabi, whether shown by donating, contributing, or simply using the software. Test it now and discover the updates! πŸ“¦ Backend and Coordinator packaged for Linux The Debian package now includes two extra binaries: one for the backend (Wallet API) and one for the coordinator (Coinjoin API). This makes it easier for community members to run a backend and/or a coordinator, private or publicly --- Wasabi is slowly becoming a lightweight, easy-to-use Bitcoin wallet with amazing privacy features, not depending on any server. There are few, if any, that compare in the ecosystem, and we are hard at work to make sure that Wasabi is undeniably the best of its kind.

We've redesigned our network isolation code (Tor integration)! Originally, .NET lacked native support for routing HTTP traffic through Tor, so we built custom solutions. Over time, this became unsustainable, requiring us to manually implement many new low-level features like redirects and compression. Now, with .NET 6’s native SOCKS proxy support, we've switched to a more efficient HttpClient. This simplifies our code, improves performance, and makes it easier to implement new features without headaches. It also improves clarity on how Tor integration works and drastically reduces the potential for errors. Better building blocks are key to keep improving Wasabi! image

How should BTC amounts be displayed? πŸ€” In our next version (coming soon), we’re rolling out a fully redesigned amounts formatting throughout the wallet that we believe should set the industry standard. It’s now much easier to read, no matter the screen or whether you’re dealing with small or large amounts. Plus, BTC/Sats conversions are instant. ⚑ image

🚨 New release 2.2.0.0 is out 🚨 πŸ₯• Taproot receive addresses πŸš€ Faster transaction broadcasting πŸ” Help to setup and find a coordinator. ⏫ More accurate CPFP fee estimation πŸ“‰ Safer protocol πŸͺ² Backend optimizations Release notes & Download: πŸ₯• Taproot receive addresses Users can now choose taproot when generating a new receiving address. Spending a taproot input is 16% cheaper compared to spending a native segwit input. Users aren’t the only ones that benefit - Bitcoin nodes can verify taproot’s signatures faster than legacy ones, so the entire network gets a little speed boost. image πŸš€ Faster transaction broadcasting A more sophisticated transaction broadcasting mechanism was introduced to make the process faster. Transactions are now broadcast to multiple nodes in parallel (through the Tor network) and fail more quickly if the transaction is rejected by the network. Users who upgrade will notice it now takes half as long to send their coins. πŸ” Help to setup and find a coordinator A new message is now shown when no coordinator is configured, along with some help to understand how to find and setup one. image ⏫ More accurate CPFP fee estimation The CPFP feature now takes into account the fee paid by the parent transaction. In previous releases, the child transaction assumed the parent paid 0 sats in fees, and thus always overpaid for the speed up.. This improvement will be especially significant in high-fee environments, where the CPFP feature is most useful! πŸ“‰ Safer protocol In order to avoid introducing unknown incentives and to limit risk to users, the coordination fee concept has been removed. Only coinjoin coordinators that don't charge any coordination fee continue to be supported. Read more: https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/killing-coordination-fee/ πŸͺ² Backend optimizations Users who run a Wasabi backend can now do so with a pruned node and significant CPU/RAM savings. This makes hosting a backend much cheaper and helps to decentralize this component which Wasabi clients still depend on.
