Download Ferrite Wallet - Ferrite Core Qt for Windows 64-bit

Windows 32-bit / Linux and Mac OS 64-bit


This is a major update of Ferrite Core v1.3.0 based on new Bitcoin Core 23.0 and Litecoin 0.21.2 source code changes. This brings new UI features such as easily creating multiple wallets, privacy mode, as well Taproot and MWEB support.
MWEB will be currently disabled since most miners mining Ferrite are currently not fully compatible with MWEB, which is a relatively new feature.

Miners can signal for Taproot support starting block 450,000. (~2024).
When 97.5% consensus of blocks (39 in a row out of 40) are mined with Taproot support after height 450,000, Taproot policy will be enabled on the network.

Since the current update is not supported on 32-bit builds, v1.3.1 is released for 32-bit systems as an incremental update to v2.0.0 that is partially compatible with v2.0.0.

New v2.0.0 wallet + other executables installers

Note: Pool operators running pools not compatible with MWEB getblocktemplate should use v1.3.0 Non-MWEB pools will always be able to mine for block rewards and process normal transactions, without processing MWEB transactions.
