Bitcoin Wallet Samourai Wallet raised $ 100,000 in the first round of financing

Katana Cryptographic, the company behind the development of the bitcoin wallet Samourai Wallet, which is focused on increased privacy, completed the first round of financing for $ 100,000 from venture capital firm Cypherpunk Holdings, CoinDesk reports.

“Not a single cryptocurrency passed the same tests that bitcoin went through. This is the most hardened currency. Our team has no desire to work with other assets or other layers of Bitcoin at the moment , ”said CEO Katana Cryptographic and co-founder of the project Keonn Rodriguez.

Note that Samourai Wallet provides a number of services that allow users to hide the origin of their bitcoins and obfuscate transaction recipients.

Also in the wallet by default, the STONEWALL mechanism is activated, which allows you to create a Boltzmann transaction simulating CoinJoin above zero. In simple language, such transactions are displayed on the blockchain as a set of unrelated parties.

Samourai Wallet was founded in 2015 by former engineers of Blockchain’s largest wallets provider Kenno Rodriguez and William Hill. At the moment, the Android wallet is still at the alpha version stage, but the full version is expected to be released this June.

Recall the service got into a scandal after the creator of Wasabi Wallet Adam Fichor accused the main developer of Samourai Wallet in the conduct of a long blackening campaign in social media against other service providers, in particular – Android-wallets.
