Silent Payments Wallet Support
One of the hardest things to keep up with in the Bitcoin space is keeping up with what wallets have deployed new features, what specific aspects have been deployed, and much more.
I’ll do my best to keep this page up to date, but if you see something that needs to be updated please submit a PR (use that “Edit this page on Github” button ->) or open an issue.
Wallets
Bitcoin wallets with Silent Payments support, grouped by what you can do today: send & receive, send-only, and in progress where support is still landing.

Hardware signers
Signing devices for Silent Payment transactions (BIP375 to send, BIP376 to spend). They don’t scan or hold funds themselves, so pair them with a software wallet above.

“Privacy preserving scanning” here denotes an architecture where no output information is revealed to the back-end server. While this is the only possible back-end approach for now, it’s very likely we will see future approaches that give the view key over to a back-end server to allow background sync, while sacrificing privacy of Silent Payments outputs to that third-party server. This field is a way that we can denote that in the future as-necessary. ↩︎

BIP375 — Sending Silent Payments with PSBT. Defines the PSBT fields required for a hardware signer to participate in constructing a transaction that sends to a Silent Payment address. ↩︎
-
BIP376 — Spending Silent Payments with PSBT. Defines the PSBT fields required for a hardware signer to spend a previously received Silent Payment output. ↩︎

Agora is a Bitcoin donation/crowdfunding platform with a built-in wallet. It runs as a browser-based hot wallet tied to your Nostr key (nsec). For anything beyond small amounts, transfer the funds to another wallet with a different seed for secure storage. ↩︎
-
Tacit is a browser-based confidential DeFi dApp with an integrated Bitcoin wallet that can send to and receive at Silent Payment addresses (
sp1q...). Its signing key lives only in your browser — export and back it up before holding any value, since clearing browser storage loses it. ↩︎ -
Silentium is a proof-of-concept and should be used with caution! From the developer:
↩︎This is an experimental project acting as a proof of concept for Silent Payments light wallets. Use at your own risk.
