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

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!
We want to start with some important updates to our communities that have already happened:
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!
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.
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!
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.
And that’s all we have to share without spoiling too much ;)
In 2024 we’ve become a major player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, bringing tools never seen before to protect our users. We’ll be continuing to provide a seamless way for users to keep their funds 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! The Cake Wallet Team 🍰
