Wasabi Wallet v2.3.0: Rewrite of Tor Integration, UX Improvements & More
Wasabi Wallet is a free and open-source, privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet for desktop.
- "This release continues our vision of simplifying the codebase and improving the resiliency of the software, while still shipping long-awaited quality-of-life features," announced Wasabi Wallet.
- This version introduces a complete rewrite of Tor integration using standard HttpClient, Trezor Safe 5 and ColdCard Q support, and a beta version of Wasabi's Payment in coinjoin feature.
- It also delivers significant user experience enhancements through a more intuitive interface, including better, more consistent amount formatting, and more insight on transactions.
NOTE: "This client version is a soft fork for the coinjoin implementation. Clients on v2.3.0.0 won't be able to coinjoin with coordinators running a version lower than tag v2.3.0.0. We therefore highly advise coordinators to update their backend to tag v2.3.0.0."
