BlueWallet Adds Privacy Feature ‘PayJoin’ for Bitcoin Transactions

Mobile and desktop Bitcoin and Lightning wallet BlueWallet has added support for PayJoin to boost user privacy.

  • Announced Wednesday, BlueWallet’s update allows two parties to mix coins in one transaction to decrease the likelihood of the exchange being traced.
  • PayJoin is a type of coin mixing technology based on Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 78.
  • The wallet’s privacy update comes on the heels of a new report from Europol calling both privacy wallets and cryptocurrencies a “top threat” due to criminal activity.
