Wasabi Wallet is a free, open-source non-custodial wallet for bitcoin, run on desktop computers and designed for privacy. First released in 2018 and developed for years by the company zkSNACKs, it sends its network traffic through Tor, a form of onion routing, and has built-in CoinJoin, which combines many users' coins in one transaction so that outside observers find it harder to link senders and receivers. CoinJoin rounds were organised by a central coordinator that could not take users' funds. In June 2024 zkSNACKs shut down its coordinator, shortly after US authorities charged the developers of another privacy wallet, Samourai. The software continued to work, and users could connect to coordinators run by others. Privacy tools like Wasabi are a recurring concern for blockchain analytics firms and regulators.
