BIG NEWS: We just got a huge design upgrade!๐
Your Fedi wallet has been completely reimagined, inspired by your feedback.
Federations and Communities are now simpler, more flexible, and more complete than ever.
We've given Federation and Community their own dedicated spaces.
๐ฆ Federations are where your money lives โ think of them as your community banks.
๐ค Your Community is where people come together โ like your town square.
By separating them, each space has its own distinct purpose, making it clearer where to go for what you need.
Now you have even more flexibility.
Connect with your Community ๐คโ chat with members, get updates, and access mini apps chosen by or recommended for your community.
And here's the best part: Your wallet now includes all your Federations โ all in one place.
This is one of our biggest design updates, but thereโs even more waiting for you!

#EcashCoffeeDay marks the first ecash transaction on bitcoin. โ๏ธFour years ago, with a cup of coffee, @elsirion proved that bitcoin could work like cash in your pocket but private. Today, this matters more than ever.

Why "Ecash Coffee Day" Is No Longer Just A Celebration But A Call To Action
Four years after someone bought a cup of coffee with ecash, the privacy technology being built on top of Bitcoin continues to improve. From Fedimin...
Four years on, the ecosystem is growing. @Fedimint , Cashu by @calle , BitVM, Ark implemented by @Ark Labs, Spark, WabiSabi, and Silent Payments prove Bitcoin can scale without sacrificing privacy. But who needs private payments? ๐
Everyone, but especially the most vulnerable. Around the world, ecash is already being used by people under authoritarian regimes, activists and journalists facing surveillance, and families trying to transact safely without being monitored or censored. ๐
#EcashCoffeeDay is more than a celebration โ itโs a call to action. Itโs a reminder that privacy is a non-negotiable cornerstone of freedom. Without privacy, Bitcoin risks becoming vulnerable to coercion and abuse. That coffee proved something essential: Private is Key ๐๏ธWe are shipping through the summer! Our August release (25.8.0) is live with some cool new updates ๐งต
