Wasabi Wallet v2.6.0 "Prometheus" is a major leap forward for Bitcoin privacy and self-sovereignty. The new support for BIP 158 block filters lets users sync directly with their own node, eliminating reliance on centralized infrastructure and making Wasabi more resilient and censorship-resistant than ever. The reworked full node integration is flexible and easy to set up, empowering users to route all Bitcoin network interactions through their own node for maximum privacy and independence.

The addition of SLIP 39 share creation and recovery brings advanced backup flexibility, while the Nostr Update Manager ensures users can securely receive updates even if traditional channels are blocked. Combined with UI improvements, stricter serialization, and the option to avoid third-party exchange or fee providers, this release cements Wasabi’s role as a leading privacy wallet-delivering cutting-edge features while putting user control and security first.
