Release Highlights

🔒 Set minimum coinjoin input count
🔒 Stricter absolute limits for maximum coinjoin mining fee rate and minimum coinjoin input count
🔒 Prevent solo coinjoining
👀 Coordinator Connection String
👀 Advanced send Workflow

Release Summary

Wasabi Wallet v2.1.0.0 adds safeguards for coinjoin participants.
Clients can now set their own policies regarding minimum input count and maximum coordination fee to protect from malicious coordinators which tries to charge more than they announce.

Apply coinjoin coordination policies to all rounds:

It was possible for a malicious coordinator to bypass the client policies for blame round and set different coordination fees for those.
v2.1.0.0 fixes this issue by enforcing the policies to blame rounds too.

Stricter safeguards:

Wasabi clients use more restrictive policies that guarantee that even in presence of a malicious coordinator, the risk of losing money is mitigated. These are: absolute maximum coordination fee rate changed from 0.01 to 0.005, absolute minimum input count changed from 2 to 5.

Prevent signing coinjoin where there is only one participant:

A malicious coordinator could set the minimum input count as a very low number to create coinjoins where all the inputs belong to the same user. In v2.1.0.0 clients don't sign transaction where there are no other participants.

Coordinator Connection String

Changing coordinator has never been easier! Coordinators can create a connection string that once in the clipboard will be recognized by Wasabi and allow the client to be quickly configured to coinjoin with it.

Advanced send Workflow

The sending whole coin feature has been replaced by a new Manual Control feature to allow users to specify which coins can be used for sending.

Installation Guide

Download the operating system relevant software package and install Wasabi like you would with any other software on your computer.
For a detailed installation guide, including signature verification, see the documentation.

🪟 Windows

Release Highlights

💸 Set maximum coinjoin mining fee rate
🔒 Set maximum coinjoin coordination service fee
👀 Verify coinjoin mining fee matches requested rate

Release Summary

Wasabi Wallet v2.0.8.1 adds additional safeguards for coinjoin fees. Clients can now set their own fee policies to avoid participating in coinjoin rounds that cost more than expected.

Set Maximum coinjoin mining fee rate:

In previous versions of Wasabi, transaction fees for coinjoins were controlled using the “Coinjoin Time Preference” setting. This abstracts the concept of fees so users can coinjoin at the cheapest time of the day, week, or month.

This version allows users to specify the exact fee threshold (in sats/vbyte) that they are willing to pay so that overpriced rounds are skipped. The default maximum fee rate is set to 150 sats/vbyte.

Set maximum coinjoin coordination service fee:

Coinjoin coordinators may charge a service fee from participants in their rounds. Before, clients automatically rejected any coordinator fee over 1%. However, this is not sufficient to protect users against reckless coordinator configs that provide little privacy per round without free remixing.

The default coordination fee rate is now set to 0%, users can opt in to increasing this limit in order to use paid coordinators.

Verify coinjoin mining fee rate matches requested rate:

If a coordinator requests a specific fee rate at input registration, clients will ensure that the final fee rate matches (or exceeds) the originally requested value. This prevents a malicious coordinator from pocketing fees that users intended to pay to miners.

Installation Guide

Release Highlights

📌 Exclude UTXOs from autocoinjoin
🌎 Coordinator selection in GUI
❄️ Tor bridges
💥 Tails & Whonix OS support
💾 Install Linux udev rules for hardware wallets

Release Summary

Wasabi Wallet v2.0.8 introduces new coinjoin tools and many long awaited accessibility options for advanced users. Additionally, Wasabi’s Github repository has transferred from zkSNACKs to its own self-named organization.

Exclude UTXOs from autocoinjoin:

Wasabi automatically selects inputs and outputs for users when they participate in a coinjoin transaction. The randomization of coin selection provides huge privacy benefits, but gives users limited flexibility.

An “exclude coins” menu option is now available from the coinjoin status box that allows users to restrict which coins are consumed as coinjoin inputs. This option was previously only available using the RPC.

Coordinator selection in GUI:

A new field in the application settings is now available which makes it easy for users to paste the connection information for their chosen coinjoin coordinator without needing to edit any config files. As of June 1st 2024, the default coinjoin coordination service provided by zkSNACKs is being discontinued.

Tor bridges:

Some ISPs limit their users’ access to the Tor network. Tor bridges are now supported in Wasabi which help overcome this obstacle.

Tails & Whonix OS support:

Tails and Whonix users can use Wasabi by switching their Tor connection option from Enabled to Enabled (connect-only mode) or by using the command line option: --UseTor=EnabledOnlyRunning

Install Linux udev rules for hardware wallets:

Hardware wallets require additional configuration of udev rules to use with Linux machines. Automatic installation of udev rules is now supported to streamline the setup of cold storage devices.

🥷🏼 Password is now called passphrase
🎛️ New sorting option
🐛 Bug fixes and security improvements

Release Summary

What is the Hotfix about?

On some Mac systems, Wasabi could crash on fresh installations. #12869

Completely new interface

The wallet's entire color scheme, transaction history table, menus, and icons were overhauled in this release with a refreshing new look. These changes aim to streamline the experience while maintaining a focus on user privacy. Enjoy the new darker dark mode and spicy Wasabi green highlights.

Hardware wallets

Wasabi Wallet now supports the latest Trezor Safe 3 device, known for its secure element protection, open-source design, and on-device transaction confirmations. This allows users to securely use their Trezor Safe 3 for private cold storage, enhancing the usability of Wasabi Wallet with one of the top hardware devices for Bitcoin security. Also, this version upgrades to HWI v3.0.0 which avoids false positive antivirus flagging.

Full RBF

Accuracy of unconfirmed transactions in the mempool is now improved by considering economic replacements of transactions that did not originally signal for Full Replace-By-Fee (RBF). The coordinator now has a more stable defense against attackers who double spend coinjoin inputs.

Better privacy warnings

Updates to privacy notifications now provide more detailed information, displaying amount differences in both BTC and USD to assist users in avoiding the creation of change outputs.

Coinjoin setting now available on music box

The autocoinjoin feature has been optimized to initiate only after transaction confirmations, reducing unnecessary mining fees. The associated Tor version has also been updated to improve network security and performance.

Password is now called passphrase

The wallet's password functionality has been renamed to "passphrase" to better reflect its security implications and the fact that it cannot be reset. This passphrase is the "13th word" or "seed extension", and is required together with the 12 recovery words to recover the private keys and spend the bitcoin.

New sorting option

Users can now sort their transaction history by date, improving the manageability and navigation of financial records in Wasabi Wallet.

Additional enhancements and bug fixes

The release includes improvements for cross-wallet performance, updates Avalonia and .NET for GUI and framework enhancements, solutions for UI memory leaks, and bug fixes for Coldcard hardware device integration. The Buy Anything button's text box is now easier to navigate. Automatic coinjoin checks for eligible coins before starting. The update also introduces a new PGP key for securely reporting software vulnerabilities.

Release Highlights

⏩ Faster wallet load
🚀 Speed up unconfirmed transactions
🛡️ Privacy warnings and improvement suggestions for payments
🐳 Cheaper coinjoins especially for whales
👻 Headless daemon and improved RPC interface
📸 QR code scanning on linux

Release Summary

Turbosync Drastically Reduces Wallet Load Times

This release optimizes the filter checking process to reduce wallet loading times by 90% thanks to code cleanup and a clever key prioritization process dubbed “Turbosync”. With Turbosync, internal addresses that have already been used are not checked for coins in new blocks until after unused addresses have been checked first.

Don’t Float in the Mempool

Incoming funds can now be confirmed faster with Child Pays For Parent (CPFP) to self-spend an unconfirmed UTXO, and outgoing transactions can use Replace By Fee (RBF) to increase confirmation priority or cancel the payment entirely. You don't have to worry about the details, it just works magically under the hood.

Privacy Warnings and Spending Suggestion

New Privacy Warnings present users with one click fixes if they are attempting to construct a transaction that spends nonprivate funds or creates change. Notifications are provided when consolidating more than 10 UTXOs or spending unconfirmed funds, allowing users to avoid potential mistakes without restricting intentional usage.

More Privacy, Less Blockspace

The amount decomposer was refined to make the most effective use of scarce block space so that whales who set a high anonymity score target now need fewer coinjoin rounds to reach 100% privacy. The amount of outputs a client can create in a round has been increased from 8 to 10, and decompositions that produce change outputs are now rarely chosen. Adjustments to the anonymity score calculator and default settings additionally reduce the amount of coinjoining required before all coins are considered private. The anonymity score target of the “Maximize Privacy” coinjoin strategy setting was reduced from a random value between 50-100 to a less conservative range of 27-76, which brings the behavior closer in line with the two efficiency based strategies.

A specter is haunting this world

Wasabi now has a daemon! More experienced users can directly interact with core features of the wallet through an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) interface making it easy for developers to customize their experience and build features that are not available in the GUI version. This release bundles the Daemon, an executable called ‘wassabeed’ that runs the wallet without the graphical interface. The wallet can be run in the background by using the RPC interface, or the Wasabi command line interface allowing users to coinjoin, see their balance, and perform every other function of the wallet without the resource consumption of the graphical interface.

Penguins love black and white

Wasabi can now scan QR codes on Linux computers. This makes importing an address from a phone a lot more private, easier and faster. This feature is now available for Linux and Windows, but not yet for macOS.

Database migration to SQLite

Wallet loading speed improved even more by storing the filters in an SQLite database instead of a plaintext file, reducing disk space requirements by about 1 GB and increasing resilience against file corruption.

Fighting Entropy

Included are several updates to dependencies (HWI, Tor, Avalonia) and a lot of the usual bug squashing and UI polishing.
