Listen "1.5 The history of the future of Wasabi || Adam Ficsor"
Episode Synopsis
Adam Ficsor [@nopara73] explains that the original goal of Wasabi was to build a light wallet that actualy provides privacy in Bitcoin. But the final product has to be a wallet that is easy to use for anyone, and with private by default for everyone.
We started the weekly Wasabi Research Club [https://github.com/zkSNACKs/Wasabiresearchexperience] to analyze all existing Bitcoin privacy research papers. Based on these learnings, we created WabiSabi, which might be the best Bitcoin privacy technology for a long time, at least until another groundbreaking innovation.
Wasabi 2.0 consists of WabiSabi, a new CoinJoin protocol; a novel graphical user interface; and an improved user workflow. Changing the Wasabi project so fundamentally is a big risk, however Bitcoin is just warming up for mass adoption, so this has to be implemented swiftly.
