Welcome to our annual recap! We’ve had an eventful 2024 and we’re excited to announce an even more exciting 2025.

2024 In Review: A Year To Celebrate (with Cake!)

From January to December we’ve been hard at work to bring you a simple, secure and private cryptocurrency experience. Across the board we’ve fixed bugs, made things faster, easier to use, and safer.

Bitcoin Silent Payments

We’re proud to be the first fully-featured cryptocurrency wallet to support Bitcoin Silent Payments. Silent Payments are one of the largest privacy improvements ever made to the Bitcoin protocol. We’ve received praise across the community, even from the developers behind BIP352 on this feature. More importantly, it marks a step forward for bringing privacy to the Bitcoin ecosystem. To learn more about Bitcoin Silent Payments we have some wonderful resources:

• Our guide to Silent Payments
• Our interview with Josie Bake - Developer of Silent Payments
• Our article on Bitcoin Mag covering Silent Payments

Litecoin MWEB

Another exciting update is the integration of Litecoin MimbleWimble Extension (MWEB). Cake Wallet is now the first cross-platform wallet to offer MWEB support. This means users can enjoy enhanced privacy and scalability when transacting with Litecoin.

To learn more about MWEB, visit our guides.

Solana, Wownero, Tron

2024 introduced some new coins (Solana, Wownero, & Tron) for the Cake Wallet ecosystem. Now users can swap, transact, and use more coins than ever before. To view all our supported cryptocurrencies, visit our guides.

Ledger Support for Various Cryptocurrencies

Many of our users enjoyed the security provided by Ledger, but wanted a more private & transparent method of using them. So in 2024 we developed the ability to use Ledger hardware wallets with Cake Wallet. This means you can combine the security of Ledger with an open source, privacy-first wallet. Ledger is available on both iOS (Bluetooth only) and Android with the following cryptocurrencies:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Polygon
• Litecoin
• Monero

Initial Windows & Cupcake Releases

This year we finished our commitment to being a cross-platform wallet by offering support on iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux, & finally Windows. We also launched a new sidekick app, Cupcake, to offer airgapped security with a secondary phone. We’ll be making improvements to both these releases in 2025. Thank you for the feedback so far!

2025: New Year, New Coins, New Safety.

We want to start with some important updates to our communities that have already happened:

• Due to spam issues, we phased out our Telegram group, and replaced it with a Telegram channel to keep you all updated with announcements. Join it here!
• We are also migrating our Telegram Cake Wallet Testing Group to our brand new forum. This will make it easier for us to troubleshoot issues and offer a cleaner experience for those passionate about Cake Wallet. Join our forum here!
• Our new forum isn’t only for testers. It’s open to everyone and we’d love to have you join. It’s free to join and is a way to engage with like-minded people who value privacy in the cryptocurrency space. Join our forum by clicking here.

Zano, Decred, & More!

We are always exploring new cryptocurrencies to add in Cake Wallet, and we’ve already begun development for Zano & Decred within Cake Wallet. We’re exploring other cryptocurrencies in 2025, so keep your eyes open for updates!

New Cake Wallet Features

Native Tor Support for stronger anonymity, background sync so Cake Wallet is always up-to-date, and of course Payjoin v2. We have heard all of your feedback can’t wait to make your Cake Wallet experience more seamless in 2025.

Bitcoin Lightning

Doing Bitcoin Lightning with privacy, security, and self-custody is a unique challenge we’re close to cracking. Stay updated in 2025 for more updates on rolling out Bitcoin Lightning into the Cake Wallet ecosystem!

Software & Hardware

Finally, we want to revamp our desktop experience and polish up bugs and UI inconsistencies. In regards to hardware, we’re working closely with Foundation and Keystone to bring support for both their hardware wallets in 2025.

A lot to celebrate!

And that’s all we have to share without spoiling too much ;)

In 2024 we’ve solidifed ourselves as a major player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, bringing tools never seen before to protect users. Looking ahead to 2025, we’ll continue to provide novel ways to keep users safe!

Lastly, we want to thank everyone who made this possible. Our wonderful community. And of course the developers working on incredible technologies like MWEB, Silent Payments, and Tor libraries that ultimately find their way into Cake Wallet. We are an open source project that couldn’t be possible without the other wonderful open source projects out there.

Happy new year and see you soon!

The Cake Wallet Team 🍰
