Our take
The whole pitch is privacy at the wallet layer: non-custodial, with trustless CoinJoin to make your coins’ history harder to trace on-chain, plus Tor routing by default. The catch is that CoinJoin involves fees and a learning curve, and it’s a desktop wallet aimed at users who actually care about chain analysis. Pick Wasabi when on-chain transaction privacy is a real goal and you’ll take the time to use CoinJoin properly. If you just want to hold and send, a simpler wallet will serve you with less friction.
