Taproot 🤝 Passport

Today we’ve released Passport firmware v2.3.0, with a massive set of new features and improvements. Is it our biggest release ever? 🤔

You be the judge.

Passport now has full support for sending and receiving using Taproot, making the combination of Envoy and Passport a powerful way to leverage the latest and greatest tech that Bitcoin has to offer.

We’ve improved address display based on the Bitcoin Design guidelines, making it easier than ever to verify addresses on Passport! Shout-out to @bitcoin_design for the excellent work on this standard!

Want to send a snarky message to your friends or enshrine a headline directly in Bitcoin? Now you can do it (and verify it offline) with passport!

While this feature should be used with caution, SeedQR is a rapidly growing standard that Bitcoiners are using to backup and restore their seed phrases. Now you can more easily do so on Passport!

Ever wanted to browse the addresses of one of your Passport accounts on-device? Now you can! We’ve worked hard to make it as easy as possible to navigate and find addresses for verification directly on Passport.

Passport now allows the creation of 12 word seed phrases, and defaults to 12 word seed phrases during onboarding.

If you’re an advanced user who wants to generate a seed phrase offline, now you can have Passport automatically generate the final word for you when you import it.

Now you can set a name for your Passport that gets synced to Envoy when you pair it, and lets you easily distinguish between different family member’s Passports or your unnecessarily large Passport collection 👀

And much, much more. To get the full list of what we’ve added, improved, or fixed, read the full release notes linked in the OP.

Thanks for joining us on this journey as we build and improve Passport, and we hope you enjoy this latest release!
