Samourai Wallet was also once a strongly privacy-focused wallet, with core features including Whirlpool CoinJoin and Ricochet. It later stopped operating because of a legal case: the two founders, Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill, pleaded guilty in 2025 and were sentenced to 5 years and 4 years in prison, respectively.


Wasabi Wallet is a non-custodial, open-source Bitcoin desktop wallet focused on privacy. It routes network connections through Tor by default and supports CoinJoin, coin control, labeling, hardware wallet integration, and silent payments. Strictly speaking, it is not an “absolutely anonymous” or “fully private” tool, but among Bitcoin wallets it is one of the strongest privacy-focused options, making it well suited for users who care a lot about reducing on-chain linkage.
