Summary
PRIVACY IS YOUR ABILITY TO SELECTIVELY REVEAL YOURSELF TO THE WORLD
We live in an Orwellian surveillance society where your information is being used to typecast and manipulate you. Bitcoin projects are being pressured to collect more and more data, if possible.
This is why Wasabi Wallet is programmed to be a zero-knowledge software. Developers do not and never will collect any information about you. What you do with your bitcoin is your business.
OPEN SOURCE: Wasabi Wallet is a free, open-source and deterministically reproducible software. Anyone can see, verify and even contribute to the code.
TRUSTLESS BY DESIGN: The software is designed so that neither the public nor the developers can breach your privacy. This is done through coinjoins, client-side block filtering and communication over the Tor anonymity network.
NON-CUSTODIAL: Not your keys, not your coins. Wasabi Wallet lets you control your private keys, offering you true financial self sovereignty.
EASY TO USE: Wasabi is designed to be a user friendly Bitcoin wallet, that handles its users' privacy automatically under the hood, including network connections, input selection and conjoining.
COMPREHENSIVE: The wallet uses WabiSabi, an anonymous credential scheme that was designed to enable more accessible and efficient coinjoins. It allows users to utilize the best privacy tool without requiring a large amount of bitcoin in the wallet.
AFFORDABLE: Coinjoining coins with a value above 0.01 BTC costs 0.3% as a coordinator fee + mining fees. Inputs of 0.01 BTC or below don't pay coordinator fees, nor remixes, even after one transaction. Thus, a payment made with coinjoined funds allows the sender and the recipient to remix their coins without paying any coordinator fees.
