Wasabi Wallet v2.5.1: Configurable Fee & Exchange Rate Providers, Quality of Life Improvements
  • "New release 2.5.0 is here! This version continues to improve resiliency and makes some long-awaited improvements as a thank-you to our community!" announced Wasabi Wallet.
  • v2.5.1 fixes a bug with the recovery workflow introduced in v2.5.0.
"In the last version, we introduced a donation button to gauge community interest in funding Wasabi's future. We have been overwhelmed by the support and interest shown by our community, including long-time users and privacy enthusiasts. We want to thank you for believing in Wasabi and for your support, whether through using the software, providing feedback, contributing financially, or contributing to the open-source project in any form." said the project.

What's new

  • 3rd-party providers for fee and exchange rate. Fee rate estimations and exchange rate providers are now configurable.
"After this release, Wasabi will be significantly closer to achieving that goal, with most basic wallet features functioning without an active backend connection. You can read more about the remaining steps on GitHub."
  • Quality of life improvements:
    • Randomly skipping rounds was removed.
    • Coinjoin settings & profiles are now all in a single tab.
    • More information in the status icon.
    • Resync button now available in Tools.
    • Verify that our own inputs are in the list of CJ inputs before Amount Decomposition.
    • And much more...
  • Backend and Coordinator packaged for Linux. The Debian package now includes two additional binaries, one for the backend (Wallet API) and one for the coordinator (Coinjoin API), simplifying the process for community members to run a backend or coordinator, either privately or publicly.
