2.7.0

Flow Wallet Extension Release Notes - v2.7.0 🚀

Major Improvements

This release is the first of several focused directly on user experience and stability. We have worked with our internal team and partners to identify the most common pain points and worked to address them. You'll find a number of improvements to the wallet UI, transaction handling, and developer experience.

As we had a number of developers focused on EVM token workflows, we created a test suite around EVM transactions to ensure we have a reliable way to test the critical user flows. The process of creating these tests forced us to identify and fix a number of issues in the EVM transaction flow. You'll find this release provides a much better EVM experience for token transfers.

Full release notes are below.
