Wallets supporting Silent Payments

[satscraper]

Does it really support Silent Payments?

The official site clearly states that Shakesco is MPC wallet ^{i.e., wallet that uses a Multi‑Party Computation scheme} which has nothing to do with Silent Payments.

I didn't install it or test it for myself, but I can clearly see pages on their website that are dedicated for Silent Payments.
I just tried installing Shekesco in my emulator but it won't open without g00gle account, so I don't have it.
This is certainly not a wallet I would recommend using, but my list is neutral.





Here is another proof they have some sort of silent payments:

It seems you are correct. I have checked their FAQ

Meanwhile you  might want to add new wallet to the list which is Nunchuk, whose latest release made it partially compatible with Silent Payments. It’s only partial because it currently supports sending to Silent Payment addresses, but it still doesn’t support generating or scanning them.

This is the Nunchuk flavor for Android; the desktop version doesn’t seem to support Silent Payments yet.

OK, I just added Nunchuk wallet in the list with partial support.
I was not following recent news from them, but this is certainly a move in good direction.
This year I am expecting to see more wallets adding support for Silent Payments, maybe even hardware wallets.

I'm also expecting this feature to be added to Passport Core. They promised to implement it first thing in the morning after the first batch of Passport Prime units was shipped to customers. The shipment has recently begun, so I hope they follow through on what they promised. It would also be great if Sparrow proceeded with full support for Silent Payments. Having Passport Core with this feature along with Sparrow would finally make me ready to use it.

since the 4.0.-beta version of the great Ibis wallet, it is now also possible to send funds to silent addresses
this means there is another good mobile wallet that supports bip-352
@dkbit98 if you find the time, could you add this wallet to your list when you get a opportunity? thank you

I haven't test this wallet yet but it looks promising what they achieved so far.
I am surprised that more wallets are not already supporting Silent Payments by now.

I am surprised that more wallets are not already supporting Silent Payments by now.

And this is only half of the trouble. The real trouble is that the wallets claiming to support Silent Payments are not in hurry to implement full feature set. For example none of them support spending via PSBT, only a few can generate the necessary address formats, and very few implement privacy‑preserving scanning. Because of this, I still consider Silent Payments an experimental technique with no foreseeable timeline for mainstream adoption.

I agree with that, but if Cake wallet can do it correctly, than other projects can follow that.
With more and more developers using different AI tools we care probably going to see more progress with Silent Payments in future.
I am really surprised that Trezor developers didn't release anything yet, especially knowing they history with BIP39 and SLIP39.

Somehow I missed this post, but now Spparow is added to the list.
If I understand correctly you can only send silent payments but not receivbe them with Spparow.

with the announcement of the new version today, the Sparrow wallet now also supports receiving silent payments.
this means that Sparrow now offers full support for sp

Great news!
I am updating information for Sparrow wallet, and I am also adding new BlindBit wallet that full supports Silent Payments.
BlindBit wallet is working on desktop computers for now, and it's still in experimental alpha stage.
It looks like I predicted correctly we are going to see more acitvity around Silent Payments

Bitcoin Core doesn't yet have a timeline for adding Silent Payments support, there are some open PR like this one: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/1765

Since there are many technical details, I don't know the progress of the pull request.

I would really like to see this feature in Bitcoin Core, also remembering that Bitcoin Core took some time to add full Segwit support, I hope this changes in the coming months.

Oops, there's a PR that adds this functionality to the Bitcoin Core RPC (Receiving), currently with incomplete features, it will be interesting to follow: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32966

I would really like to see this feature in Bitcoin Core

From what I understand about Silent Payments, this feature would fit a full node very well. It requires scanning every transaction, and that's exactly what Bitcoin Core does already. I don't like trusting SPV wallets when it comes to privacy features, so I haven't used Silent Payments yet.

There's a tracking issue: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28536
