Description : Bitcoin wallet with a focus on security, privacy and usability
Sparrow Wallet is a Bitcoin only desktop wallet with a focus on security, privacy and usability. Suitable for beginner to advanced users, Sparrow reveals detailed information about a wallet’s configuration, transactions and UTXOs in order to minimise trust and be fully transparent.
Features:
* Full support for single sig and multisig wallets on all addressable script types
* A range of connection options: Public servers, Bitcoin Core and private Electrum servers
* Standards based including full support for PSBT and TXN files
* Support for all common hardware wallets in USB and airgapped / QR modes

* Send to multiple outputs with change address selection
* Native support for fee bumping with RBF and CPFP
* Labelling of all transactions, addresses, inputs and outputs
* Lightweight and multi platform (Linux, OSX, Windows)
* Message signing and verification
* Collaborative coinjoin with Samourai Whirlpool and over Soroban
* Import and export to a number of different of wallet formats (incl. Electrum)
* Show wallets in different tabs, windows or minimised to system tray
* Payjoin (P2EP) support
* Anonymous broadcast via public blockchain explorers over Tor
* Built in Tor client
* Private blockchain explorer functionality
* Strong wallet file encryption
* Testnet, regtest and signet support
Inclusion into the Debian repository is a precursor to inclusion into Tails, which has been broadly requested in the Bitcoin community.
Sparrow is already released as a .deb package (see https://sparrowwallet.com/downloads/) as part of the standard release process.
I intend to maintain this package going forward.
