zkSNACKs to Suspend Its Coinjoin Coordination Service on June 1st
zkSNACKs, the company pioneering the development of Wasabi Wallet, is shutting down its coinjoin coordination service, effective from June 1st, 2024. Wasabi Wallet will continue to function as a regular bitcoin wallet.
- "It was an honor and a privilege," said zkSNACKs CEO Max Hillebrand.
- Last week, the company announced blocking U.S. citizens and residents from visiting its websites, downloading and using Wasabi Wallet and any related products and services, including APIs and RPC interfaces.
"Wasabi Wallet will continue to function as a regular bitcoin wallet, users can generate private keys to receive and send bitcoin. Even without coinjoins, Wasabi’s client-side filtering architecture, Tor integration and custom coin selection make it the most private light wallet available. zkSNACKs will fund the continuous maintenance of Wasabi Wallet’s basic features," the company said.
- The change also affects users of other wallet clients that connect to the zkSNACKs coordinator, like Trezor Suite and BTCPayServer.
