Wasabi is a desktop, Bitcoin-only wallet built around CoinJoin, the technique that pools your coins with others to break the on-chain trail. Your keys never leave your device and every connection is routed through Tor by default. The catch is recent: its original zkSNACKs coordinator shut down in mid-2024 under US regulatory pressure so CoinJoin now depends on community-run coordinators like Kruw that you select yourself. Even without mixing, its client-side block filtering and Tor make it one of the more private light wallets. It is a tool for people who understand CoinJoin’s trade-offs, not a set-and-forget beginner wallet.
