#### 🌎 New loading screen
#### 🥕 Receive Taproot by default
#### 📎 Support for two new packages for Linux (AppImage)
#### ⚙️ Bug fixes

## Release Summary
Wasabi Wallet v2.8.1 includes several fixes that improve synchronization UX and performance.

### 🌎 New loading screen
More detailed progress is now displayed while your wallet is loading. Peers, block headers, filter headers, compact filters, and blocks are now visually trackable. Filter headers now download in parallel.

### 🥕 Receive Taproot by default
Taproot addresses use Bitcoin's most scalable and private script type. The soft fork was activated in August 2021 at block height 709,632, but sending to the new bech32m encoding type was not initially supported by wallet software. 5 years have now past, and Wasabi will shift the pressure to upgrade to unupgraded providers.

#### 📎 Support for two new packages for Linux (AppImage)
Wasabi package that runs anywhere. You can download Wasabi Wallet and run it on your Linux desktop system just like you would do with a Windows or Mac application.

### ⚙️ Bug fixes
Some issues preventing users from synchronizing with their node were fixed. A bug blocking version upgrade announcements was fixed, and the Nostr relay list was updated.

#### 🚀 Pay in coinjoin
#### ↘️ Sub-1 sat/vByte transaction fees
#### ♻️ Payment batching
#### 📎 Support for arm64 Linux, Tails, and Whonix

## 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.

## Release Highlights
#### 🟠 Enhanced Bitcoin Node Integration
#### 🎨 Refreshed UI with Icons & Animations
#### ⚙️ Dedicated Config Files Per Network
#### 🤯 Stronger & Smarter Coordinators
#### 🛠️ Refinements & Fixes

## Release Summary
Wasabi Wallet v2.7.0 is a stabilization release that not only strengthens reliability but also brings a fresh look and smoother performance.

### 🟠 Enhanced Bitcoin Node Integration
Bitcoin node connectivity is now more seamless. RPC endpoint handling has been refined for smoother setup, with support for onion-service RPC interfaces.

Additionally, Wasabi no longer bundles bitcoind binaries, while block downloading has been simplified and made more dependable.

### 🎨 Refreshed UI with Icons & Animations
The interface has been given a polished update. Subtle animations and a balanced color scheme breathe new life into Wasabi’s design, making it both cleaner and less aggressive.

### ⚙️ Dedicated Config Files Per Network
Each network Mainnet, Testnet4, and Regtest — now has its own independent configuration file. Switching to test networks is easier and your preferences are always preserved.

### 🤯 Stronger & Smarter Coordinators
Coordinators are automatically published as onion services right out of the box: no manual Tor setup needed. Coordinators can now also run on pruned nodes in blocksonly mode.

Plus, fallback fee rate providers were implemented (mempool.space and blockstream.info), ensuring accurate fee estimates, even if your node can’t provide them.

### 🛠️ Refinements & Fixes
- **Full-RBF by default** – All transactions are treated as replaceable.
- **Resilient HTTP communication** – Smarter retry handling makes connections sturdier.
- **Seed recovery fixes** – Annoying typing issues are resolved.
- **Sharper fee estimations** – Precise decimal calculations with no rounding loss.
- **NBitcoin updated to 8.0.14** – Latest Bitcoin protocol improvements included.
- **Clearer terminology** – “Backend” is now called “Indexer.”
- **Lean codebase** – Legacy components like TurboSync and BlockNotifier removed.
- **Safer Coinjoin handling** – Excluded Coins can only be changed when Coinjoin is paused.
- **Donation Button removed from Main Screen** – The button is gone, but donations are still possible via the search bar.
- **Conflux by default** - Better Tor configuration for improved connectivity.
