ZEUS v0.9.1: BOLT-11 Blinded Paths, Inbound Routing Fees & More
ZEUS is a mobile Bitcoin/Lightning wallet and remote node manager for LND and Core Lightning. It is built on TypeScript and React Native. Available on Android and iOS.
- "We're proud to announce the wide availability of ZEUS v0.9.1, including on the Apple App Store, and Google Play," announced the project.
- ZEUS v0.9.1 features enhancements and new functionality including inbound routing fees, improved receiver privacy, experimental rescans for external wallets, and more.
"For Q4 we're focusing on launching two new LSP services and looking into more Nostr integrations in the wallet. We're hoping to share more updates soon," was stated in a blog post.
What's new
- BOLT-11 blinded paths. ZEUS enhances user privacy with wrapped invoices when using OLYMPUS LSP and, now, blinded paths, which conceal public keys and specify encrypted payment routes.
- Users can activate blinded paths via the Receive view toggle when the LSP is off.
"BOLT-11 Blinded paths are currently only available in LND interfaces, versions v0.18.3-beta and higher. Blinded paths are also available with BOLT-12 offers if using a remote Core Lightning interface, however the two are incompatible at present," said the developer.
- Inbound routing fees. Routing node operators now can now set inbound routing fees for their channels.
- Inbound routing fees are currently only available in remote LND v0.18.0-beta and higher interfaces.
- [Experimental] Rescans for external wallets. You can now set the birthday in blocks for external accounts from hardware wallets so that your ZEUS wallet can scan for past events to improve the experience of crafting on-chain transactions.
- This functionality is only available for Embedded LND wallets for now.
- Linked contacts showing in
Channelview. If you have an open channel with a friend registered in your contact book, and that friend's node is identified in their contact entry, a link to their contact will appear on all the channels you have with them.
- View on-chain addresses option in the menu. This displays all addresses from LND's ListAddresses grouped by account and address type. Allows hiding 0-balance addresses and sorting by creation time and balance.
- LND: spend full UTXOs in on-chain transactions.
- Simplified open channel UX.
- LNDHub: dismiss custodial warning.
- POS: add option to default to
Keypadview.
