Release Summary
Wasabi Wallet v2.8.0 is a massive release with P2P synchronization, faster onboarding, improved privacy, lower fees, and expanded device support.
⚙️ P2P synchronization for compact filters
Wasabi pioneered the use of compact block filters for private wallet synchronization. This involved implementing a custom indexer to build the filters, and hosting a server to provide them to clients.
Progress continued on block filters, resulting in standardized BIPs and direct support in Bitcoin node software. This version of Wasabi uses Bitcoin’s P2P network to download compact filters, eliminating the centralized server.
Onboarding new users to Wasabi is now faster thanks to wallet birthday checkpoints. Newly generated wallets no longer waste time and bandwidth downloading old blockchain history since it would be impossible for a new wallet to have previously received any transactions.
🚀 Pay in coinjoin
Sending payments directly inside a coinjoin transaction uses block space more efficiently and improves privacy in several ways:
- The age of your inputs is not revealed, so the receiver does not learn how long you’ve held your coins.
- The size of your change is not revealed, so the receiver does not learn the amount of coins you have left over.
- You can batch multiple payments into one transaction without revealing they originate from the same sender.
↘️ Sub-1 sat/vByte transaction fees
You can now spend coins using fee rates as low as 0.1 sat/vByte, letting you save up to 90% on mining fees. If a low fee transaction gets “stuck”, you can use Replace By Fee (RBF) to speed it up.
♻️ Payment batching
You can now pay to multiple addresses in the same transaction. This significantly reduces the amount of block space used compared to sending each payment individually.
📎 Support for arm64 Linux, Tails, and Whonix
Linux users with arm64 devices are now part of the Wasabi family. Tails and Whonix installations are now automatic and no longer require manual Tor configuration.
📜 Scheme scripting language
The scripting language is an experimental feature that makes Wasabi programmable, queryable, and extensible.
🔑 Signet test network
Testnet3 and Testnet4 use proof of work for generating blocks, just like mainnet. Because testnet coins have no value, low mining difficulty allows an attacker with a small amount of hashpower to flood blocks or create long reorgs.
Signet is another test network that allows a set of signers to create blocks. This reduces the unpredictable behavior so developers can work with a stable environment.
💀 Forward compatibility for Tor
The Tor Project is terminating network support for versions <0.4.9 on September 1, 2026. This release of Wasabi upgrades the bundled Tor dependency to ensure forward compatibility.
Installation Guide
