If you are attempting to access funds that were stored years ago, you may find that current software versions are incompatible with your old wallet files. In this article, I will explain how you can locate and download older versions of Wasabi Wallet.
What is Wasabi Wallet?
Wasabi Wallet is an open-source, non-custodial Bitcoin wallet for desktop platforms that places a heavy emphasis on user privacy. It is most famous for its integration of CoinJoin, a mechanism that allows users to mix their coins with others to obscure transaction histories and improve anonymity.
Downloading legacy versions
If you are trying to recover old funds, you might need the specific version of the software that was active when you created your wallet. Fortunately, the developers maintain an archive of previous releases.
You can download binaries for version 0.4.5 and higher directly from the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/
It is important to note that the software has not always been known by its current name. If you are looking for the very earliest iterations of the software, be aware that they were released under the name “Hidden Wallet.”
