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.

🔧 Local Prison mitigation - Pull Request

Release Summary

This is a silent release aiming to fix two specific issues:

  1. Out-dated HWI, ensuring that Wasabi works with all hardware wallets.
  2. There were some issues with the server-side prison banning coins for ~1-2 years.
    The clients saved this information and Wasabi never chose those coins again until ban period is over.

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.

WasabiGPT Pre-release
Pre-release

WasabiGPT: The First AI Bitcoin Wallet

We invented something and we have no idea what it is. Wasabi Wallet is the only light-weight, non-custodial Bitcoin wallet today that provides all-around privacy for its users. WasabiGPT however does none of that. Not yet anyway. It is proof of concept for testnet that unlike the original Wasabi Wallet, it comes with zero privacy and provides absolutely no security guarantees whatsoever.

It's a side quest to the mission of Wasabi Wallet, which is to empower sovereign individuals with financial privacy. As such, we're not planning to integrate WasabiGPT into Wasabi Wallet unless there's overwhelming interest.
Since we don't really know what to make out of it, we ask YOU to tell us

Please remember that OpenAI will bill your account for each assistant usage.

Models that work with WasabiGPT are: gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4

Step 4: Pray OpenAI works

OpenAI does not work more often than it does, so there's a chance that it won't for you either. This is when the power of praying comes in!

Basic usage WasabiGPT assistant

screencast.2023-04-01.11-08-39.mp4
  • From the top application bar click on the top text box (previously known as search bar). You can type anything in the box and click the Enter key to send a message to WasabiGPT assistant.

  • The assistant is using OpenAI service to process your queries so keep in mind the things you say there will go through the internet and to OpenAI servers (in future versions we will use local private AI models so your privacy is 100% guaranteed, but right now it's a tech demo).

  • WasabiGPT can explain a variety of Bitcoin related topics and Wasabi Wallet inner workings.

Sending, receiving Bitcoin via WasabiGPT assistant

  • In the tech demo you can also perform a few UI related tasks like sending BTC, generating a receive address or checking your wallet balance.
