Ádám Ficsór

Developer · Founder

The developer who started the work that became Wasabi Wallet and presented version 1.0 at Building on Bitcoin in 2018.

Wasabi's own documentation traces the project through him. It states that "Ádám Ficsór worked with several others on a privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet called Hidden Wallet all the way back in December 2015", and that "Wasabi 1.0 was unveiled in 2018 by Ádám at the Building on Bitcoin conference".

The releases followed the same year: a 1.0 beta on 1 August 2018, chosen for the first anniversary of the user-activated soft fork, and the full 1.0 on 31 October 2018, the tenth anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper. The problem the work addressed is that Bitcoin's ledger is public, so a wallet that does nothing about it leaks a spending history by default.

This entry covers only the work the project's own documentation attributes to him. No handle or account is linked to the name here, because the documentation does not link one and this directory does not connect identities that a source has not already joined.
